Request for good vibes, or prayers, or whatevers.
It may not even be possible, now, to hope....but I do believe in miracles...still. My husband's cousin has brain cancer. His cousin is a kind and gentle man....only 52 years old. He's had two operations already and they are attempting chemo. It's been on-going, since January, but now he can't even recognize his wife and children.

I don't want to bring anybody down, and I almost didn't ask...but, I felt I needed too....sorry to add to depressing topics. Stupid cancer. Stupid, stupid disease. *sigh*

2. I am so very sorry to hear about that, but I send you a prayer,
vibes and white light. It is never too much to ask. My cousin by marriage is dealing with her second bout of cancer. She's not yet fifty and this time it has metastasized all through her body. All that's left is hope, so I understand what you feel. :hug:

7. It may not seem like it, but it's a good vibe
Oh Great Spirit,
Whose voice I hear in the winds,
And whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me!
I am small and weak,
I need your strength and wisdom.

Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice.

Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy - myself.
Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes.
So when life fades, as the fading sunset
my spirit may come to you without shame.
--Chief Yellow Lark, Lakota Tribe

15. Please don't apologize
How many people are going to hug and appreciate their loved ones that much more after reading this thread? We never know what will happen to us.

Without darkness, there is no light. :hug:
