Thank you for your oh so sweet comments and compliments. Yes I LOVE to drum, I have my drumset in a place I rent and I'm there ever day lately and loving it. I used to also play the bodhran(irish frame drum) at a trad. irish session at Finn McCools in Santa Monica, must start doing that again. Drumming is SO good for the soul, keep doing it, we've all got a natural sense of rhythm that should be explored.
Hope to chat with you again
Have your best day ever
Ann
I hope you had a lovely mom day -- I would have sent you greetings yesterday but my internet connection is down.
I spent the day with my loved ones -- husband, two kids, two grandkids, one son-in-law, and his mom. We had a great time. The men whipped up a lovely brunch and I loved watching the three of them working in the kitchen together.
I'm betting your son will really like college. It will be great for him to not have classes for 8 hours in a row. I have a suggestion. If at all possible, it would be great for him to have a camper or van with all the amenities he needs for caring for his hardware. That way all his conveniences will be as close as the parking lot! If he needs to take classes for several hours with a period in-between, he can go there to rest and take care of himself.
It's amazing how much nicer college kids are than their not much younger high school cohorts -- it's like a different world. In my forties I decided to get a degree and I spent a lot of time in a local college -- first studying and then teaching. I was always amazed at the lack of all the types of interpersonal tension that I observed in high school. I never saw a fight or a taunting or any type of racial discord. In some ways I think it's even better at local or community colleges because most of the students work and have very adult responsibilities -- no time for stupidity, and since many are paying their own way, there's no time to waste, either.
It hurts my heart to think of your son enduring cruelty but thank goodness he's even here to deal with life's challenges!
Lots and lots of love to you and your family.
Mother's Day in Ohio. I don't know where you live, but I for one am really pissed at whoever scheduled it to be in May! It's always grey, wet and cold here on Mother's Day. My heart sings the loudest when I'm outside, especially after a long cold winter. I vote to push it back until July! I hope your day was fantastic!

Your questions are so thoughtful and so I'll try to be equally so in my response.
I've tried to put myself in your shoes and imagine how I would feel, but, truly, it is unimaginable. My children had some rather serious health issues, but we certainly never had to deal with the specter of a possibly fatal illness. My heart goes out to you.
I'll tell you about my own journey, which is admittedly SO different, because I was a 51 year old grandmother instead of a precious 7 year old boy. When I found out I might have cancer, I was naturally scared beyond belief, as is the case for just about everyone in the same situation. I could hardly deal with the agonizing anxiety (or I couldn't deal with it) so I started looking for ways to get my feelings under control. One of the things I did was to start meditating again after many years. I did some chanting and listened to guided meditations. I was still so scared, so, in one of my meditations I decided to explore the path which was frightening me so badly. I traveled along through cancer -- surgeries, illness and such -- until I came to my own death bed. I lay in that bed and looked at my loved ones crying but then began to "see the light." I felt myself uniting/reuniting with that golden force, and my soul lifting up out of my body. I realized that it would be difficult for my loved ones, but that I would be fine -- MORE than fine.
After this realization, I no longer feared death. Believe me, I want to live, and I do everything I can to stick around! But the day of departure, which can be any day for any one of us, no longer seems terrible to me.
With this peace in my heart, I know that I'll never "fight" death in such a way as to ruin my quality of life OR death. For example, I wouldn't choose a final round of torturous chemo over a chance for a last family reunion. I want a good life, and I want a good death, too -- at home, surrounded by loved ones, not in a hospital, filled with tubes, in one last futile "fight" against the forces of nature.
In this way I prefer to see my interaction with cancer more as a dance than a battle. True, sometimes the dancing gets a bit furious, and the dancing partners can be a challenge, but I'm not a combatant.
Hmm, what metaphors might I prefer? Well, struggle seems to be a good one to me. It still shows how hard we work sometimes to achieve our goals, without invoking soldiers on a field of combat, killing each other for no really good reason. It sounds as if your life has been full of difficult struggle, and you more than deserve recognition for all you've gone through and all you've accomplished. What a fine and determined soul you must be.
So how is your 17 year old son now? I'd love to hear more about him. You must be so proud of him.
I am so glad my words helped with a little perspective. I needed that reminder not too long ago myself. It's so easy to get caught up in the wonder of perfection...but we are here to live, imperfect or not, right?? Glad to have a new friend,
lots of love!
Life is fine with me- nomadic- which is sometimes a strain- but all in all I feel supremely blessed. I am helping my nephew right now with his 'Methane from Wetlands' ( whatever they are! ) degree dissertation. I know nothing about the subject- but I can be slightly psychic about whether something 'sounds right' even if I don't have a clue what it is talking about. All good fun-so this month I have edited work on Methane Emissions, Feminist Craft and Raw Emotions. I am off to France on Saturday to see my parents. Lucky me! I'll be massaging my Dad's legs every day- as he still has post-chemo numbness.
Love love love to you always x x x
Just popping by to see how things are going with you since we were last in touch-
love to you and to your amazing son
xx
It is always so good to hear from you. I am so glad my daughter told me about this SC place, it has been a blessing to have some communication with people like yourself, who truly feels the same type of emotions that I feel.
I am glad your son is feeling better.
I know the dealing with the cancer is tough enough without having to deal with directors and insurance.
They also want my daughter to have her scans at the same locations for the comparasion. It makes sense to me, so why can't they understand that.
Angie did get her biopsy results today and they are benign. Praise God. I could tell a difference in her spirit today. I just want to jump for joy with this good news.
I will catch you later.
In Christ ,
Marilyn
