I was so worried about her, the people I am in contact here mean alot to me and have help me trough my illness and have keep me smiling even tough sometime I just want to cry and give up. But no there they are kikking me in the @$$, sending me crazy %&/&%% jokes, sending me loooooooooooooooooong e mail that can make me crazy and all that make me feel better.

    Another day.

    I feel like cancer is just all over. The famos people are getting sick and we the not the famos are shocked because we think they have the money to go to the Doctor for a regular checups. Sometime I feel overwhelm, when I think about all the cancer that have struck my family. First my mother with colon cancer what she died from at aged 42, my father also colon cancer what he died from at aged 73, my second daugther with Germ Cell tumor of the Ovary at age 16. She is 5 year cancer free last September and then myself diganosed this year in June with Acinic Cell Carcinoma cancer in the salava gland. Also my mother inlaw past away from cancer in the lungs at ages 75. It is so many kind of Cancer out there, when they told me about what kind of cancer I had, I had never heard about Acinic Cell tumor or when my daugther was diganosed Germ Cell tumor was like Greek for me. But I went on the Computer and learned everything I possible was able to learn about those kind of cancers. Well I am going to let this be enough for now. Remember everyone to be nice to each other.....................................................

    Just a Poem I saw

     

    I Have a Wonderful Life

    I may not have a lot of fame
    Nor a mansion on a hill
    I have no real fine gifts to give
    There is nothing to reveal.

    I do not have a lot of wealth
    But I have the things I need
    There are those who have most everything
    Whose lives are full of greed?

    I have a kind and loving heart
    With gentleness doth reign
    There are those who have no heart at all
    And send out lots of pain.

    I have a wonderful spirit
    That will never grow jagged or old
    There are those who have no feeling at all
    Their days are dark and cold.

    I have a wonderful pair of legs
    To help me get around
    There are those who have no legs at all
    To lift them when they’re down.

    I have a wonderful pair of arms
    To give a hug or two
    There are those who have no arms at all
    To feel the love I do.

    I have a wonderful pair of hands
    To let me work and play
    There are those who have no hands at all
    To help them through the day.

    I have a wonderful pair of ears
    To listen to the rain
    There are those who cannot hear at all
    The splash upon the pane. 

    I have a wonderful pair of eyes
    They have beheld some beautiful sights.
    There are those who cannot see at all
    Their world is black as night.

    I have a wonderful sense of smell
    And enjoyed the aroma of flowers
    There are those who cannot know this joy
    And miss life’s fragrant hours.

    My life has been a rainbow
    With only a bit of strife
    Today I counted my blessings 
    I have a wonderful life.

    This is for you Cindy

      You Know You Live in a Small Town When



    Third Street is on the edge of town.


    You don’t use your turn signals because everyone knows where you are going.

    A baby born on June 14 receives gifts from local merchants as the first baby of the year.

    You speak to each dog you pass by name and he wags his tail at you.

    You drive into the ditch five miles out of town and the word gets back before you do.

    You dial a wrong number and talk for 15 minutes anyway.


    You can’t walk for exercise because every car that passes you offers you a ride.

    You miss a Sunday at church and receive a get-well card.

    Someone asks you how you feel and listens to what you say.

    Thank God for small towns and the people who live in them.

    About everything and nothing!!!!

    Well once again my ENT appointment is kreeping up on me. I will go on the 16 of November but I will not go to PET scan until January then it will be 6 months since I had my surgery. Did I ever say here I HATE going to Doctors no not me. Well we still have a lot of  FULL boxes in the Garage and we have been here for a whole month. I always say: tomorrow I will start, and tomorrow will go by with out nothing will happened. I think when Michael start working (still going trough paperwork and Doctors exam) I might be more active hey guys cross your finger for me, I just have got more lazy latly. Well I am working on my Citizenship, I have been Legan Alien for last 12 years and I really wanted to vote this year but can’t so I have deside to go for the Citizenship but it might take a long time and of cause the Government want $400.00 for it even though I just gave them $300.00 to renew my Green card and paid for me and 3 of my girls 12 years ago almost $20,000.00 to get the green card that include Doctors visit (aids test, tb. Test) Visa to stay here for one year, pass ports, special pictures ect. It is very expensive and my hubby was in the Military. They even told us they (American Embassy) could not promise us is we get the green card for sure, that was then. Well I think this is enough for now. Take care everyone and remember be good with each other……

    We added a new familymember to our family. Her name is Susie Q and she is a 10 year old Jack Russell Irish Terrier. We went to the Humane Society and got her. Even though she is a 10 year old she has a lot spunk in her. She is a Lady and she know where she is going when we take her for a walk. She is fairless, and nothing make her jump. It only took her one day to know where she lived so after we walk her she walk right to the door. She does not bark except when she is playing with us and want us to give up the stupp animal. Well this is it for know I will write more later. Take care everyone and remember everyone be good to each other

    Things change every day.

    A Hug

    A hug is such fun

    And it's certain to please you,

    Just open your arms

    And let somebody squeeze you,

    If you need cheering

    A hug never fails you,

    It makes you feel great

    And it's good for what ails you...

    A hug is a present

    You don't have to earn,

    And oh, what a pleasure

    To give...

    ...and return!

    Little bit about my thoughts!


    I know I have not been on here so much lately and the reson is,
    I have just been lazy and not feeling good and at the same time felt sorry
    for myself. But yesterday really start made me start thinking. Yes I have not
    have this dream life alot of people have had, Oh no, far from that matter of fact I have had
    a very sad life and life full of sorrow and illness and death and bad memories since I was
    a little girl. But like everyone that know something about me and my family and read
    my blogs know my next oldest daugther Sandra that is 22 years old know had a ovarian
    cancer Stage IV C at age 16. For some miracle and a fantastic Doctors and alots of prayer
    she pulled trough, but it was a very hard battle and many time we thought she was not going
    to make it. Today she is 5 years cancer free. Sandra found her calling and that was being
    involved with cancer kids so 6 -8 times a year she goes to camp with the cancer kids
    and volenteer as counselor for those kids. She love those kids and often when they goes
    to the Hospital the group goes a visit them. The Volenteer meet every month at Children
    Hospital here and last month (September) when they had there meeting one of Sandra camper has
    just been addmitted to the Hospital she had a bone cancer that little girl name was Mara.
    Thursday morning one of the Nurse from Children Hospital that has also been Voleenteer
    at the camp, (even when Sandra was a camper herself) called Sandra and told her that
    Mara has passed away that morning. This little girl just had has her 12 Birthday. She had Told
    Sandra when she meet her last month, she could not wait until next summer for the camp.
    This 12 year old girl was so full of life that even beeing in the Hospital was nothing, she was
    looking forward to the future. She even just had set up a new E mail. To keep in contact with
    her friend from camp, the counselor and othe friends. Sandra told me this little girl was full of
    life and did not complain about her illness, but she was quik to answer and she has
    a little wit about her. Often she went on MSN messenger and talked to Sandra about everything
    and nothing. Now this little girl is gone. She will never go to High school, no Prom, she will not have
    a Boyfriend, never get married or will have children. This girl was same age a my youngest daugther.
    I sit here so often and feel sorry for myself, I have a wonderful husband, I have 4 wonderful daugthers
    1 handsome grandson, have my friends here in cyberspace, and fantastic family in Iceland and
    friends all over the US, and Iceland. We have to count our blessing every day and stop looking back.
    Cancer has tought me so many thing. One you are not amune to it, you don't have to die because you have it,
    and count you blessing everyday, because new day you have with you family and friend is so precious. Things can be gone tomorrow.
    Look forward and love the day you are living at this moment and love the people tht is around you now.
    My deepest sympathy to Mara Parents, her friends and to you Sandra. I know the people that has this calling to be around cancer paintens and especially children, will always take it hard. But I have learn something I am so blessed to have my daugther Sandra that is now
    Cancer free (even though you are really never free) and I am taken care of the best Doctors Navy can provide for my cancer and my other illness, like my depression and kidney problem. But I am so blessed and from now on I will try my best in Maras name to be positive and I didn't even meet this girl. Here is a Picture of her and Sandra on the firts and only Camp Mara attentied.

    Happy Halloween

             
     
        Witches flying through the air,
      Ghosts and Goblins everywhere.
    Jack-0-Lanterns shining bright,
      Owls and Bats, fly through the night.
    Angels and Monsters, at your door.
      Halloween is here once more!

    Little Poem you need to read

    DON'T LOOK BACK--

                                YOU'RE NOT HEADED THAT WAY

     

    As you travel through life there are always those times when decisions just have to be made; when the choices are hard, and solutions seem scarce and the rain seems to soak your parade!

     

     

    There are some situations where all you can do is to simply let go and move on, gather courage together and choose a direction that carries you toward a new dawn.

     

     

     

    So pack up your troubles and take a step forward. The process of change can be tough but think about all the excitement ahead if you can be stalwart enough!

     

     

     

    There could be adventures you never imagined just waiting around the next bend and wishes and dreams just about to come true in ways you can't yet comprehend!

     

     

     

    Perhaps you'll find friendships that spring from new interests as you challenge your status quo and learn there are so many options in life, and so many ways you can grow!

     

     

     

    Perhaps you'll go places you never expected and see things that you've never seen or travel to fabulous, faraway worlds and wonderful spots in between!

     

     

     

    Perhaps you'll find warmth and affection and caring- a "somebody special" who's there to help you stay centered and listen with interest to stories and feelings you share.

     

     

     

     

    Perhaps you'll find comfort in knowing your friends are supportive of all that you do and believe that whatever decisions you make, they'll be the right choices for you!

     

     

     

     

    So keep putting one foot in front of the other and taking your life day by day. There's a brighter tomorrow that's just down the road. Don't look back!!! You're not going that way.
