I have a bad back and it has been acting up for a couple of weeks,became much worse yesterday, so I felt it was better to stay home and do what the Dr. has told me to do to try and settle everything down. You came to mind and how you took your trip to L.A. with all you have to deal with and I was somewhat ashamed, so I blamed it on age. I couldn't go to a lack of courage to face a trip that would have made me uncomfortable. Shame on me and hurray for you and your strength.<BR/><BR/>Love you, <BR/>PatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36459071.post-49554826385928291502008-10-09T10:11:00.000-07:002008-10-09T10:11:00.000-07:00Dear Carla; I am glad you can bring yourself back...Dear Carla; I am glad you can bring yourself back to a happy place after feeling down. There is one side of being with a terminal illness that has an advantage over other members of the population, in that you begin to see very clearly what life has given you and how you have impacted your friends and family. The same happens to the families that have lost a child. Those around that child see the world in a whole new way. Possibly with regrets for not being there when they should have or not showing their love, thinking they had a life time to do so. It's the old saying "we live life looking through rose coloured glasses". It seems through these experiences you begin to see so much clearer and will come to realise how important all your relationships have been, good or bad. When you thought you were terribly hurt or treated wrongly, perhaps now, you might see that nothing in life is that simple. After all you are the person you are today because of both the negative and postive sides.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36459071.post-30712295127015975372008-10-08T16:36:00.000-07:002008-10-08T16:36:00.000-07:00accomplice is good.kimaccomplice is good.<BR/><BR/>kimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36459071.post-10839739899417613842008-10-08T14:20:00.000-07:002008-10-08T14:20:00.000-07:00accomplice!accomplice!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36459071.post-18950900808569754382008-10-08T11:22:00.000-07:002008-10-08T11:22:00.000-07:00Count me in for a swim next week!
