Vickie (smiling)
......as we do you, we are loving you right back. Thanks for your birthday wishes to me. I have everything I deserve, I can now see the colors back in my life, I hear the music again, and the smell of the ocean has never been so sweet. This will be a hard birthday for me because I share it with our Angel MichelleH and I wanted so much to be with her on OUR day. Well Vickie, it will always be our day and I will rejoice in heart with her. She had a way with gifts and she left me one last present........
........her best friend contacted me to thank me for the love and friendship I had with her best friend of over 25 years, Stacy. We have remained in contact with one another and I can see why Michelle loved he so, she is almost a clone. Michelle lead us together to mourn, to laugh, to celebrate and to remember her grace. I only knew Michelle since she had BC and it is so refreshing to get to learn more about the spectacular person she was before her journey. How about that for the best gift ever??
So I leave tonight after a BC seminar to celebrate our birthdays. Wish you could see the shirt I made with The Mighty Oak's picture on the front. It says: "STILL FIGHTING". On the back it says: "REMEMEBRED" and I have names of our Warriors......Michelle, Nikki, Kate, Sandy, Lolly, Carol, Pat, Luann. Gorgeous shirt for tonights festivities. Cannot wait to light the luminaries for them (4) and luminaries for us whom are still fighting. I especially cannot wait to eat, hehe!
Sending love back at 'cha and all of us who are aiming for just another day. May we work as one as we search for a cure. Love you all>>Believe51
