No Remote Control For My Mind

Leah,

You're right in an entry you put the end of Sept... people don't know what to say or how to say it and therefore don't.  I could easily fall into such a bad reaction... but you remind me that most things in life difficult to deal with (death, health conditions, etc) are better dealt with when discussed... so thanks for being open. Thanks for being humerous in the midst of trials (how it surely makes them more bearable at times!). Thanks for being real. And most of all- thanks for being you... even when it's hard for even you to see the forest for the trees in this... thanks for still being you. I love that woman- she's so impressive. :) And I'm not even a closest friend... it's just not hard to see in you :)

Love you, Sara Foster

I love Bill's sense of humor...and most of all your ability to appreciate the humor...

Buz always provided us with humor...many times it was directed at our soft spots...our little weaknesses...poking fun always seems to make light of a situation...perhaps that is why I usually poke fun at myself before anyone else has an opportunity.  [smile]  After all I have a lot of material to work with...smile

You [dear cuz] on the other hand have very little we can poke fun at...you are beautiful [inside and out], intelligent, witty, creative, loving and caring to all who know you...and I treasure you and our friendship!  God bless you always....as you are an angel to us all!!!

Love you bunches!

Coni, 

A good sense of humor goes a long way in leveling the playing field of life.  Often times, people respond to an illness in a negative way, which cannot be helpful in the end.  Of course, I am not saying that one should never have the opportunity to respond with anger and grief.  Those emotions are extremely important in the beginning...but it's the ability to get past them that is the key to living life to its fullest.  I did spend the first month angry and depressed...even then, I was thinking more about what this will do to my husband...but, as you can see, we are getting through it!

Thanks for responding!

Leah
