Re: Being Sad and Vulnerable makes you Brave

Where do I start... to thank each and everyone of you for making my day so much brighter!! A dear friend sent me a text this morning with the "Mandisa-Overcomer Music/Lyric Video"...JUST what I needed...I've been down with a cold, can't EVEN remember the last time when I had one...BUT, that is okay...compared to the big stuff I'm dealing with and sooooo much loving, encouraging, wisdom & support from from all of you...just amazes me!! To have walked this far...NOT to say my days alone, I don't sit here and worry...cry...yet I know I can't stay there to long!
Yesterday, I had a "lunch date" with my dad!! I felt like a princess, savored every moment...he was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver in 2011...the doc gave him MAYBE a couple years, 80% function loss, has hardly ever drank...he is a gem!! I AM BLESSED!!
I could go on & on about what has gone on within the last couple years that happened before my diagnosis...tragedy hit our family...yet, valley's bring mountains...IF WE LOOK UP...FAITH IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES!!!

Thank you ALL for always bringing sunshine to my sometimes "cloudy" days!!

HUGE BLESSINGS & HUGS TO EACH OF YOU!!

PS...Mister Sister...you're a "Diamond" ...You know, with Christmas around the corner...I'll send you my address...sure would be nice to have a package in the mail!!
