All of us want to go to heaven, but none of us wants to go today! Every day that we open our eyes, and delight in its promise, is a MIRACLE. We must say, Today is the first day of the rest of my life, and I will not waste it. I will try to share my joy, and see what I can do to make today better for someone I love,a member of the family,a neighbor,or friend. Maybe a stranger I will come in contact with. It doesn't matter. It may be a little thing to you, but to them it can be a MIRACLE. I have had so many MIRACLES, among them having 4 fabulous, loving, children, their wonderful spouses, two lovely Granddaughters, and one super step Grandson. Keeper all ! Oh dear, I can't leave out our Grand dogs, Al & Lynne's Sophie, yours & Robert's Simon, Margo & DR. Bob's Pia, and Dale's 5 to 7 dogs, depending on how many she has rescued each week. When I first was diaganosed with cancer, and givien 3 to 6 months,I asked God to please make me a MIRACLE, as Herb was diagnosed at the same time with early Alzheimer's. I wanted to be here as long as possible so I could be his caregiver. Somehow you, my beloved Son, found me Iressa. I became AstraZeneca's poster girl. They kindly gave me this very expensive medication free, in exchange for pictures of me holding the bottle, and so forth. After 5 years, a year longer then for most people, Iressa no longer worked, but God granted me another MIRACLE. It was decided I should give Alimta a try, even though it usually only allowed most people an extra 2 months. I had 11 Alimta infusions, and was declared in remission for the next 11 months. I am amost ashamed to ask God for another MIRACLE, but human nature being what it is, I have asked. I feel my experience will help others not to give up hope. There are so many new medications coming out. AS you have taught me,one has be be their own advocate, and explore all options. On Tuesday of next week you are taking me to seek another opinion. Maybe we will find the MIRACLE I long for. So please, Friends of Roberts Mom, add me to your prayer list. I love you Robert, Mom My Dearest Son,
