I must have at least 20 AOL notifications that people have commented on my journal entries!!Welcome to all you first time visitors. There aren't enough words to thank you for your kind words of healing, support, inspiration and prayers. Again, I am abundantly blessed. If you have a journal and included the link in your comments...please be patient with me. I promise to add your link, to mine so others may share in your life too.
I am here in DC after a very long train ride. I can promise you, I won't be doing that again. However, like my sister said, "How bad could it have really been?? It delivered you to me!!" Who can argue with that?!!!
My nieces and nephew are amazing. I could "watch" them forever. Do they have to grow up??
I've kept all my food down today. I think the solution really is to eat extremely small portions throughout the day. Let's hope and pray on that!
I'm very tired and my tummy and back are hurting. I am going to tuck in and catch up on some much needed sleep.
I love y'all. You humble me.
Good night.
*** Please say prayers for my family.
*** Please say prayers for Nathan (They didn't "get it all".), Ms Bobby (she started radiation), Mr. Russo, Ms Pammy (recovering from surgery.), Lenore, Trish, David Carey, Sugar, Cindy (She's in remission),Tammy (she's in remission) and Jeannette. They are fighting the battle with cancer too .
*** Please say prayers for Jay Carey and his family. He is in Iraq, fighting the war.
If this is yourfirst time reading my journal, PLEASE go back to my first entry on 11-15-06 to read about the title MEET ME AT THE BREAKFAST TABLE!! Thanks!

I am so glad that you made it ok and are enjoying your nieces and nephew. Honestly they do grow up too fast.
Last year my husband, grand daughter and I took a train to see my son 22 hrs worth. My husband said never again. We had a wonderful time while there and I know that you will too.

Hello,
I'm new to your journal saw you in Most Commented Blogs list and wanted to see who this was and what your journal was about. I notice that we have a lot of friends in common in Jland.
I went to your first entry and looked the song on YouTube.. very nice and a wonderful choice for the title to your journal.
I have always feared having ovarian cancer.. my biomother died from it when I was around 3yo she was in her mid20s.. I was adopted, but always wondered what she went through knowing she would not be around to raise her children. Treatments have come so far in 40yrs since that time.
I am a mother of 3 and a grandmother of 1 and that thought would have killed me alone much less dealing with any illness.
I hope to get to know you better and will probably read back or try to start from the beginning when I have chance.
I'm glad you got to go see your sister, nieces and nephews. Nothing to me is more important that family. I've never been on a train ride myself.. well my mother told me I rode on one all the time when I was little, but I dont' remember. Just for the record she hated train rides too.
Glad to hear you are able to eat. I think your right eating more small items all day is probably the better way to go.
Hope you catch up on your rest and enjoy your visit.
Take care, Chrissie
love the holy cow:) have a good week:)
Deb
I will give you props. cancer is not easy by no means. All the woman in my family have had it. I have started to have a lot of issues with my female parts. My doctor is afraid that the cancer my sisters have had, is making it mark on me. I am going to have my female parts removed in Nov. My doctor feels it is the best move. I am hoping that it helps with all the issues i have. I would get into more deal, but i am not in the mood to list all the things that are wrong with me. One day i may tell them, but for right now i am wanting to keep them to myself.
Just to tell you about myself. 28 yrs old. raising my son by myself and talking care of my mother that is 73 with altiztimers(how ever you spell that nasty word) I live in MO. kansas city. I take on a lot to make sure everyone is okay and healthy. but sometimes i forget about me. I am far from selfish. I am the most giving person in my whole family. I just wonder if there are other ppl in the world that are not selfish and think of others. If there is , please post to my blog. Let me know.
Have a good day. god bless.
carrie
First time reader here so I'm headed to your 11/15/06 entry ! God Bless you. Will be adding you to my prayer list.
Stay Strong and Be Brave Little Mother.
May God Bless You.
Glad you made it to DC. Lots of love and hugs for the nieces and nephews will definitely lift the spirits. Hoping and praying your food continue to agree with you. Get some sleep and enjoy that family of yours. Much love n hugs, Chris
Hi there Irene~I came across your journal and I must tell you I have never read a more beautiful "all about me" section. It's so inclusive of all facets of life from the serious to the silly; all the moments to live and love in the now. I went to read the first entry and the words to the song are lovely--a tear jerker but lovely just the same. I pray you will have many more moments of joy and happiness in this life. As far as heaven goes--don't all of us believers look forward to being there with Jesus. I think it's wonderful to have that to look forward to no matter how tough life gets. God Bless you and your family, Deborah ;-)
I am glad that you are keeping some food down. May God continue to be with you. Helen
