 Hi Stacy, I have been reading your site, but it has been a long time since I have sent a message. One thing for sure you still have that great spirit and attitude! It is wonderful the way you can make "lemonade from lemons"--that is a very, very good thing!!

As you know I have another friend that is in remission from lung cancer, and she too, shares your great spirit and attitude. Like you she goes through these terrible stressful moments, but like you she too, has a wonderful spirit.

Since Jack's cancer (it was 5 years yesterday)I have read and read and read about the disease. I have learned that a positive attitude with lots of laughing is important to remission. Therefore, everytime I read your creative and funny emails about a stressful and hurtful ( I can't imagine the pain with those injections) time I appreciate so much your attitude! I know that it is something that must be worked at, but I believe that it is helpful with healing since laughter releases endorphins-nature's own painkillers-and that helps the body heal. The Ancient Greeks knew this a long time ago as they built hospitals next to amphitheaters to benfit patients. I find that amazing!

I guess I just want you to know that I continue to cry out to the Lord for your good health, and I give prayers of Thanksgiving when you have good news. I have added Tina Schmidt to my prayer list.

Also, you have a wonderful family. Everyone should have a brother like Mark. I enjoy your animals too!! Sending our love and prayers--Bonnie and Jack

So great to hear from you!! I was just thinking about you the other day wondering if you all were okay since I hadn't heard from you.

Congratulations to Jack for reaching his five year survival date!! That is wonderful! Did you do anything to celebrate?

I have such a wonderful support group with all my friends and family that I can't help but have a positive attitude. Everyone is so supportive and positive! I am so blessed to have extraordinary people in my life! I've made new friends recently and have been enjoying the heck out of them. It's funny to me, when I try to think of adjectives to describe how I feel about the people in my life, they just don't seem to describe them well enough. Extraordinary, wonderful, fabulous, amazing... all these words aren't strong enough!!

I love my life more now than I ever have. I don't think it's because I've been facing my own mortality, I think it's because I am able to do so many things that I've wanted to do. I am on my own schedule spending time with all those that I love including my "children". I get to spend each day either outside or inside looking out the windows just thoroughly enjoying God's wonderful work. I can't explain the joy that I have inside me other than to say it tickles my inners and I have butterflies so often. It's sheer happiness. I am so blessed and I know it!! And I thank God every day for all his blessings in my life. Even on rainy days I'm happy, I know all the life outside needs a drink too.

I'm so happy to hear that your friend has a positive attitude also. It makes living life so much more delightful.

Thank you so much for adding Tina Schmidt to your prayer list. I haven't heard any more news about her, I pray that she is doing well.

I got to see Greg recently out on 895. He was sitting there in the median when I drove by. I didn't have enough time to cross all the lanes of traffic safely to stop to talk. So I drove down the road and saw another cop at the salt dome. I stopped and asked him to radio Greg and ask him if he could drive down there. So he did. It was great to see him. It's been so long. He always looks good, especially in his uniform. I was sorry to hear about his iguana though. Please say hello to him and Stephanie for me.

I continue to keep you and Jack and the rest of your family in my prayers.

Yes I do have a wonderful family. I completely and unconditionally love my family. My Mom and Dad are my foundation and that cannot be shaken. I thank God everyday for giving me the parents that I have. They "fit" me perfectly.

I 100% agree that everyone should have a brother like Mark. I absolutely adore my brother. Wow, I'm just sitting here getting teary eyed thinking about how much I love that guy!! He is so amazing to me. I pray for peace of mind and happiness for him, I want him to be as happy as I am. I can't imagine having anyone else in this world any better for a brother. I have so much pride in him. When I'm with him and I get to stand back and watch people gather around him or when I watch him in his cars... my head is held up high and my chest is bursting with pride. I am the ONLY sister in this whole world that can say "THAT'S MY BROTHER" and be talking about Mark!!
