Hi, Everyone!!!

Well, it has been a while since I have given you an update on me. Well, I was unable to do the experimental drug thing, but that is ok. I am taking 150mg of temodar for six weeks on two weeks off. I feel GREAT!!!! I am not getting sick or anything. Still Have My hair that has grown back and I am not gaining a lot of weight this time either. I am still amazed at the amount of joy I feel everyday now. I can truly say I now know what true Joy is. God Is, sooo amazing....

Well, I am keeping this one short just to let you know how I am for now...Let you know more soon.

Love and God Bless, Reba

One morning you will never wake up. Do all your friends know you love them? I was thinking...I could die today, tomorrow or next week, and I wondered  if I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed rekindling or three words needing to be said. Let every one of  your friends know you love them. Even if you think they don't love you back, you would be amazed at what those three little words and a smile can do.
And just in case GOD calls me home before I see you again....... I LOVE YA!!!
Live today to the fullest because tomorrow is not promised.

I sent this email to a few people about the first year my mom was gone



As tomorrow gets closer and closer I sit and wonder how tomorrow will be.  Will we sit and cry for someone we no longer have?  Will we sit and cry over memories we made with her?  Will we laugh at our memories of her?  As hard as it is without my Mom I remember all the lessons she taught me in my short life with her.  I remember all the laughter we shared.  All the tears we shed together.  My tears pour down my cheeks as I write this now thinking about my Mom.  I think about how I think she would want us all to be tomorrow on her first anniversary in heaven.  She wouldn't want us to cry and be sad.  She would want us to cry tears of joy for she is in the best place anyone could ever ask for.  She was a fighter and I want everyone to remember how she fought and wouldnt give up.  Remember that everyday and fight.  Never give up.   My Mom touched many people in her life.  My brothers and I arent the only ones its hard on.  We lost our Mom, Grandma and Grandpa lost their daughter, Aunt Sue, Aunt Mimi, Uncle Chuck, Aunt Linda, and Aunt Jean all lost a sister.  We all lost someone who showed us how to be strong when cancer strikes.  So tomorrow when you feel the tears, try and remember the fun times we all had with her.  Remember her laugh.  Remember the good days with her and try not to be sad.  Remember she is here with us all the time.  Remember to dance on the beach with her. 

 

Love,

Patti

Im going to say it again....Lets all dance on the beach with her!

Mom

I hate that you died and left me here.  I hate that you arent here anymore for me to call and talk to.  I feel like I have no one to talk to about things right now.  I can call Aunt Jean, but she has her own problems that I dont want to pour more on her.  I just want to be happy and stay happy. I miss you more and more every day.  I want to call you and tell you how you were right about Beth.  That she really isnt my friend.  Took me awhile to figure it out.  I want to call you and bitch about Ryan being an asshole.  Most of all I just want to hear your voice again.
