6pm it is I too say prayers all the time but think a prayer chain will be so magnificent. And yes way to much to drink I'm surprised my post looked half way decent lol
I'm so sad about Apple! She was a beautiful person inside and out.0 -
That's 3:00 pm for me here in California.
I'm in.

And I'm so very sorry to hear about Apple. I just joined in October and don't think I've seen any of her posts but she is obviously a very important part of the fabric of the BCO.org community.
I'm reminded of the hospice poem...

Gone From My Sight
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then, someone at my side says, "There, she is gone!"
"Gone Where?"
Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And, just at that moment when someone at my side says, "There are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: 'Here she comes!"

I just returned from a memorial service. One of the daughters of the wonderful man whose life we were honoring told us was how he described the way each of us lives on after death .......in the twinkle of others' eyes. Well, Apple herself had an incredible twinkle in her eyes, (along with her grace, talent and wisdom) and will live on with that in each and every one of us. In time, we will not be able to think of Apple without the corners of our eyes turning up. Peace to all who love and miss Apple.

Death leaves a heart ache

I just got home and am able to type. I was at a training meeting for my disaster response team when I saw the posting about Apple. I just stood there in shock. One of the team phsychologists came over to me and asked if I was OK. I guess my sadness showed.
Peace and love, Apple.
Eric

Usually when I think of breast cancer I am angry. Tonight I feel utter sorrow. I am so sad for Apple, I am so sad for all of us, for our families. For all of the tests, and scans. The surgeries and waiting, the hopes and the fears that we have all had to endure and are still enduring. My heart is so heavy tonight. Apples passing makes me remember too brightly what my family endured when my mother passed away and my heart just breaks for her family and what I know they are going through. How I miss hmy mother so deeply, how her family and so many other families have to miss someone that is truly so special.
Because we are women we are strong- almost all of the time, for ourselfves and for everyone we love. And sometimes I wish we weren't. Because half the time it is a front....probably more than half.
Anyway- I needed to pour my soul out there to someone and I know no one else who will "get it" more than all of you.
I am honestly sitting here and weeping for Apple, for my mother , for all of us. I wish I was ignorant, I wish I wasn't afraid, I wish I wish I wish....
Thank you ladies (and Eric) for being you.

Laurie,
I do hear you... I too wish, maybe not for ignorance, but for a return to our days of innocence where we thought that nothing could hurt us... A return to our old selves... I too can't seem to stop the tears and I think my family is thinking i've lost it and ya know what.... I don't care.... Because, yes, as women we are strong and, yes, the majority of the time it is a front but tonight I just don't care about being strong... Tonight I am just wishing that life was just a little bit more fair and that today never happened....0 -
Seaside- You are right. Innocence, a return to our old selves.

Sending ((((HUGS)))) to everyone tonight as we all struggle to deal with feelings about the loss of Apple.....and so many other losses that this one evokes. It is a sad and painful and worrisome reminder, indeed, that we are all frail humans, and have encountered a disease that we hate and fight with all of our strength....in varying degrees depending on the day.
Laurie, I cannot even pretend to imagine how painful this is for you, given the loss of your own mother when you were young. Of course your heart is heavy...you've walked this terrible path, and know what Apple's family is bearing right now. But look at your resourcefulness....starting this thread which has provided so much support to so many, including that from and to Apple. A testament to your ongoing strength....even when you feel frail. I appreciate what you have done for all of us on here, where we can share our strengths and our fraility....and can just be the humans we are...together.
So at 5:58PM tonight we arrived at our friends' home to pick them up to go out to dinner. DH knew our Michelle plan, so he went into their house and stayed with them for several minutes, being sure that I had the time I needed to channel my energies to our sweet friend and sister. I really appreciated his support with this...and I know that he wishes the best for Michelle, too.0 -
Amen Laurie . . .
