    I think it is normal for folks to examine the whys of any disease or cancer...but agree I don't think anyone knows. I wish they would start some big database and ask each of us to sort through a pile of questions so they could get some bettEr Data to go on. Does not bum me out to inquire...only that there are no real answers.

    Excuse me, Middies, as I go on hiatus for an undisclosed time.

    R.I.P.  Marybe.

    Eli honey, I share your pain. Please know that all of us who loved Marybe are hurting, but thankfully, she herself is NOT hurting anymore.

    I feel like something is sitting on my chest.

    One bright spot, our beloved BarbaraA has been with Marybe for the last 24 hours. What an example of a loving friend. Barbara, I can't imagine your pain right now, I just hope that our prayers and thoughts and good energy being sent to you help in some small way.

    If anyone wants the link again to the Red Devil site where more posts about Marybe are being made, here it is.

    Cancer robs us every day.  I will never understand. 

    Sleep softly Marybe.

    Another tradition that often goes along with passings on BCO is a candle ceremony. I have one burning next to me for Marybe, and share this one to light the candles from others.

    Love and hugs buds.

    Thank you for the well-wishes! And yes, i celebrated it with family and friends.



    The circle of life, indeed.



    I might not have had the priviledge of interacting with her, but i know she's at peace at last, RIP Marybe.

    Ladies, the outpouring of love & support for Marybe is simply put-amazing.

    Now, I KNOW she would not want the "Doom & Gloom" (quote from another dear BCO friend) to prevail. Let's go forward & find those newbies to BCO & assist them with their questions. Let's volunteer at local hospitals, the cancer society, places where we can get out there & live the lessons we have been taught. As my daughter's generation is saying: YOLO (you only live once).

    Per Nike-"Just do it!"

    Hu-rah!!

    I always feel like I am dishonoring those we lose here by going on with life as normal.  But you are right, Eph, Marybe would want us to be there to focus on helping those new to this journey.
