A Huge Thanks to EveryoneViews: 904

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted everyone to know how much your support and comments mean to me. There are not enough words to express my feelings; however you have given me much joy and hope.
Some of you have made me cry, but they are tears of joy.
I wish I could respond to each and everyone; so just know I love you and appreciate all you have done and are doing for me.
Blessings,
Betty

Betty,
Just wanted to say that after reading denise’s post this morning I cried for the first time in 48 Days I have been a cancer club member. You need to stop that …..

Cheers,

Eyecandy,

Have a great day!

Hey Betty!

Dear Betty,

You are going through a difficult time, but you have a lot of support from friends and family. We will make sure you have good things to think about. Keep adding things to do on your bucket list except skydiving and mountain climbing. We will think of something.

Love,
Lars

Hi Betty – I’m just thinking of you, sending good vibes. Jealous of your trip. :) Will see you soon I’m sure. Hugs. Jenifer

Hello Betty,
I have to tell you the swim team girls blew me away yesterday after swimming 8000 yards from their 2 a day practice. Each day we have the Coaches story time. Its awesome, I find inspirational things and quotes and sometimes just talk with them for about 10 minutes.

I was reading something and they loved the line from the post I wrote you a while back, They do read your posts… “Because I Can “. So as a team they have decided that they are swimming because they can, so if there is a day you are not swimming always remember they are swimming for you, Just Because They Can!

I know you can also, Though your task is one of great difficulty, the capabilities you bring are even greater.
Not only is there much you can do, you can learn and grow to do much more.

When the situation changes, I know you can adapt. When a new problem arises, I know you will discover the fresh opportunities that come along with it.

Call upon the wisdom inside you that grows more extensive with each new experience. Always listen to your heart, where there is valuable truth that goes beyond what your mind can explain.

You can draw great strength from the connection you have with others. You can align yourself with the beauty and goodness that reside firmly and persistently in every corner of life.

In the darkest darkness, your light always shines through. Dealing with your most difficult circumstances, you have made a profound and positive difference, not only in your life but ours also.

Know, you can understand, and you can live in the service of a purpose that becomes more powerful and refined with each passing moment.
Choose to do what you can, and there is no limit to what you’re able to achieve.

Love You
Denise
