HAPPY 2nd ANNIVERSARY BELIEVE51
Marie,
I have been missing your smiling face and posts recently so thought I would check up on you to see when you were here last. When I did, I saw that you joined on June 1, 2007 - 2 years ago today! I am always inspired by how encouraging you are to everyone despite everything you and your dear husband are going through.
If I remember correctly, he has another chemo treatment this week. I hope it goes well for him and that the pain is able to be kept under control. I am keeping you both in my prayers!
Alice

Hi Marie,
I'm also thinking of you and Ed and hoping that this week's treatment goes well. Sending some additional comfort about Ed's mom's passing too.

Alice, thank you so much for thinking of me on this special date. I actually joined the site in March as MarieG, but we had an issue with the site. When it was resolved I needed to reregister and was going through a rough time with Ed's cancer. This date represents the "Birth of Believe51", unconditionally devoted wife and professional caregiver (hehehe)!!! Since I felt like I needed to represent myself in a stronger way, it just came to me and it sounded splendid. Believe is my favorite word and it goes well beyond religion and 51 was the age of Ed at the time.
I thank you all for returning all the love and support that I try to supply right back at 'cha!! I cannot thank you all enough for helping me through the passing of my Angel, I have been so busy focusing on cleaning out of her home, emotions aside. I feel now that I can fully mourn properly since this is finished. It is hitting me like a brick today and then I see this thread. You guys are my everything and I am so blessed to have you all loving me. You are all one of my greatest gifts!!>>Believe51 aka: MarieG
