    (((((Neesie)))))) (((((Fred)))))

    No matter how far away we may be, true friends are always together and here for each other.

    I remember how much you did for me when I was rediagnosed. You got me through some pretty rough times. I only wish I could help you now, when you need all of our love and support.

    Saying extra prayers and sending you hugs across the miles tonight.

    I brought cheesecake to the circle. That is what the ladies on the golden girls show always ate when having a rough time. When we think of those gone ahead smile for they are smiling down on us. HUGGSSS

    I read the circle thread for quite awhile before pulling in my wagon.  Since then, I have met the most amazing women not only online but in person.  I went to NY and enjoyed a wonderful weekend of love, laughter, tears and have memories that will last me a lifetime.  I shared the "condo" with AlaskaDeb, learned how incredibly strong CY was, met the first woman who talked to me the night I entered the chatroom here( thank you jenni_ca).  I learned that purpleMB was just as wonderful in person as she was in the chatroom. I was fortunate enough to have Helen1 as one of my dearest friends.  I regret not ever meeting her in person.  She was a strong lady as was Mena and so many others we've lost. I sat and listened when Mena needed someone to talk to. I've talked with many on the phone.  I will treasure each of the things I've learned and experienced thanks to so many ladies. The circle is a wonderful caring place and I thank each and everyone of you who post here.

    Sending everyone love, prayers and hugs,

    Liz

    I am making a fresh pot of coffee. Come sit awhile and we will chat . We can remember our dear sisters who have gone ahead. I believe they are smiling on us. I have learned so much from so many.

    Made us some hot choc. There is marshmellows, if you like the lil tiny ones. It is a beautiful evening we can see the stars. Our dear sisters are looking down on us. I bet we are a topic of conversation. Bless all who gather here.

    Much caring, encouragement, advice, love, hurts, fears, loss and tears have been in the 1002 pages of the circle.  Those that have moved on or those that we have lost are forever in our hearts and shown us courage and dignity in the most trying circumstances.  It isn't any wonder that we are still drawn to this place - just to check on things from time to time. 

    Hot chocolate and some cinnamon buns sound pretty good.  I've tossed on a few logs as the air has a chill as the seasons once again are about to change.

    HollyAnn - ooops.  That is what I get for reading to fast.  I pray your friend is doing well; DH is now getting enough sleep and that you are feeling better also.  Hollyann, are you getting all the rain and floods in your area?   Stay safe. 

    Barb, good to see you. 

    Neesie and Fred - sending you much love. 

    Prayers for all our GA gals with all the rain and floods.  Stay safe.

    Tossing on several logs and making some hot chocolate and fresh pot of coffee - very damp and chilly day.
