Light a candle

[WolfyOne]

Please say a prayer for a friend I have called my cousin since we're 4 years old
She was visiting her son and family in Hawaii
She was snorkeling and had some kind of freak accident from what her son said
Anyhow, she's been in ICU for a couple days now
Her son says the doc thinks she'll be breathing on her own by the weekend
I'm praying hard for her total recovery

Me, as always, keeping faith, hope and prayers within our circle of prayer

[Andrew, Jr.]

I light these candles today.. not so much that we find our way in the darkness.. however, moreso that we become more mindful of each other. We all come from different backgrounds, different experiences... different.. yet.. we are also kindred. More than likely.. any given person you may strike up a conversation with.. has gone through something you have as well. Should we not be more mindful of this? That when ... we engage... to try to understand where that person has been? You do not have to "know"... yet.. we can try.. to understand. Let these candles.. serve as a starting point.. a perpetual burning.. of striving and trying to be more mindful and understanding.

Today, I'm gonna break a little in this
here thread and then go about my afternoon.

I'm left wondering how it is that a child that has fought hard for 27 years and
through 3 heart transplants has now been hit with another devastation. The
Cancer they removed from her lip began to physically grow again covering
her right upper lip area/face. Yesterday they began surgery to remove all the
Cancer. I have not seen her yet, but my sister says...they removed a golf
ball sized piece of her face. And half of her lip. Today they will attempt
to reconstruct. This kid must have the strength of all of us combined to go
through all the shit she has gone through and still fight her way back.

It is disheartening to believe that a Divine Intervention of Christmas Day
that brought her a new heart for the third time and saved her life has
been attacked by Cancer. It gives me pause, like so many other young
folks who are taken to task by Life ~ that such a Lion Heart would be
handed yet one more battle that would leave her physically
marred and emotionally scarred.

I'm gonna say something that I usually do not.

It's Not Fair.

Ok, thanks for listening.

...the update ~ I went across the street today to find her sitting at
her computer, munching on the bag of Bugles I brought her last week.
They removed all of the Cancer this time. They had to make a huge
hole in her face to do so. They also had to remove a part of her upper
lip. The recontruction ~ they pulled her face forward on the right, sliced her
from the corner of her eye to down below the chin area, borrow skin from
her collar bone area and patched the hole that was now back by her ear
after the pulling the rest forward. I have to say, they did a fabulous job.
She's all swollen in her face, so I called her Hootie (and the blowfish).
It hurt her to laugh, but she did it anyway.

That's all for now, got folks coming by later...just wanted to give
Thanks in here for all the combined MoJo.

Love n Koolaid
