Tears. I'm so sorry, my friend. I don't know what happened, but I know you. And you are a loving, kind, creative, beautiful soldier with God on her side. Please know I'm here for you should you need anything, even an ear.
Sending love from rainy CT

Oh Jessica, maybe not an ear at this point as I seem to cry at the drop of a pin, but right now I'll take one your hugs that feel pretty good too as this has been a very scary ordeal with the lupus circling like sharks to steal the last of the organs it doesn't already have control over.
I can't thank you enough for this compassionate and caring review and kind words. You are such a dear friend and I appreciate this and the gracious six stars too, my dear friend. If you hadn't read Sally, Helen's and Terry's requests for prayers I can see why you'd be confused, yet some of the info was wrong on the girls as I am not on chemo. They were confused because I was confused, as the doctors at Mayo said that this new protocol that I am on is for lupus as what chemo is for cancer. However the out pour of prayers has made such a difference and I thank you again. Love ya Sweetie.

Hi, Debi, I understand you have been very unwell. I'm so very sorry to learn that. But seeing this beautifully written poem reassured me you're on the mend. Let it be so. Ullaxcx

Love you

Hi Yvonne, I haven't even responded to your review on your birthday poem yet, but I will soon. Everything is going so fast, and feeling so strange from new meds, plus now I lost all this time that I haven't worked on my 50th class reunion. I have tons to do yet and it is a week from tomorrow. Yes, I do it alone. I love challenging myself, but I have my self in quite a challenge now. When it is over, I will get your number again,, and we will have to talk.
Thanks for all your kind comments for this poem. I appreciate it more than you know.

I hope that you are checking out the sweet comments and birthday wishes for you on my review page of your poem.

Debi, this on of the better poems you have written. Maybe it's the new meds! Don't tell the drug companies. They will up the price. I hope the peaceful feeling lasts a long long time. Well done. Terry.

Oh Terry, that means a lot to me. Thank you very much for your sweet comments and kind review. I want to make sure you know how much it meant to me when you wrote your wonderful prayer and request for prayers for me. I do know from the past when my lung cancer healed so fast, my oncologist and pulmonologist both were at the meeting with us, because they both said they had no explanation how it could have happened. And that is when I knew that prayer does work in numbers and I was the recipient of a miracle. That day they both said they will take help from Him anyway.

And I appreciate those healing six stars too. (No medical proof of the healing factor) but I figure if it gives a warm feeling and a smile, that is all the proof I need. (And it did) Smile and Hugs to you, my very dear friend!!

I can almost hear that gentle rain, Debi, and I'm so pleased for you that it was soothing and helped you through the night. Your last stanza of gratitude in particular is superb and I wish you all the very best in your recovery. I know that, with such a stalwart spirit and with all your friends and family, you'll have plenty of support and strength along the way. Take care, Debbie x

Beautiful. Rest assured, our loving God will not allow his children to suffer much longer. There will be an end to these troubling times, and as promised the day is coming when no resident in the land will say I am sick. No more crying, no more dying. The God who cannot lie has already made that promise and it will come true.

Teri, your prayers and love that I feel from you every time we chat is so powerful and please know that I feel that in return for you. And how thankful I am that we have that multiplied to amounts unimaginable from God is hard to fathom. Thank you for not only this lovely review and those healing six six stars too. LOL... (I couldn't resist)

I love you you so much and wish there was something more I could do for you, but our Lord, Jesus Christ, is in control. He is our great physician and God. I believe He can take good care of you! love and blessings, Teri

Rain comforts me too. It is like God sends gentle reminders for you to see and hear coming from Heaven, to remind you that He sees you and He's with you. The rain also makes us look up. He wants to remind you to look to Him. You're in Good Hands. ð???

With love to you, Friend,

Glad you're back home, Debi. a marvelously constructed poem - all tight and perfectly rhymed.
I hope that these new protocols will help you - you know that so many of us are praying for you.
You will be in the Guinness Book of Records for the most different rhymes for rain!
I wish you a time of rest and recovery.
Lots of love from Paul
