    Stopping by tonight to offer warm, gentle hugs to you Teri. Sleep well and sweet dreams...that's the text I send to my youngest daughter EVERY night.  It applies to you too.

    What a sweet text to send, AmyQ.

    I'm also stopping by to give you my best, Teri, and to tell you I think about you during the day. I hope that today has been comfortable for you and that you have been pain free and able to breathe as easily as possible. I'd love to be able to send you some of the lovely, clear, fresh spring air we had today. The lawn underfoot was full of violets and grape hyacinths that seem to be happily spreading everywhere. It was like walking on a tapestry.

    Feel comfortable, think about all of us thinking about you each day and feel the (((hugs))) that we each send to you along with our love. 

    Best, Sarah

    Teri, 

    I hope you are feeling good, and getting rest as you need. Your nurse sounds like he may be experienced :) That is a good thing for you as they are better at keeping tabs on where you left off than someone untrained.  I hope your days are filled with love. All your BCO family are sending you tons.

    It is afternoon here, still morning for you if you are awake. I didn't realize it had been nearly 3 days since I was  by to say hello! Drama has been settling down here, so I can focus better on you and others here - not sure how much good I do with my positive thoughts, but know that I am sending so much lovingkindness your way you can't even measure it! Hoping you are resting comfortably, maybe getting some windows open and feeling a little spring breeze.

    Joining this beautiful circle of friends to send my love.  I hope you are enjoying some warm breezes and maybe even the smell of lavender this evening.  It got warm today in SoCal and I suspect it  was a bit warm where you are too.  Sleep well, Teri.

    Teri,

    Checking in to send you a hug and butterfly kisses.  Did you ever do those.  They are where you blink your eye against someone's cheek so that they just barely feel it.  May you stay relaxed and pain free.

    Lots and lots of love,

    Janet

    We are using hospice now.  They told me that even though the guidelines is 6 mo or less, they re-evaluate every six months.  DO NOT buy into their dx.  They have no way of knowing.  Also when they do their stats, it includes everyone that has passed even if it had nothing to do with bc.  So if someone was in tx, got hit by a car, they are included in the time frame.  AND, you could very easily be in the percentage that lived longer.  It is hard, but try to enjoy every moment.  If you can avoid spending time thinking about their stats.  Go do everything you ever wanted to do.  You may move slower or get a bit more tired, but try not to let it stop you.

    "Go do everything you ever wanted to do." Such good advice. Here's hoping that we can follow it!

    Good morning Teri, like others, I come by a few times a day to think about you and hope you are comfortable. It's damp, rainy and windy here today near the ocean, I'm hoping it will pass soon and clear up. I'm dreaming of planting flowers and veggies soon.

    Teri,

    I know you are a the point where you are sleeping most of the time. I hope your dreams are sweet and that they take you where ever you want to go. May peace and comfort surround you.
