Today we had a delicious Mother's Day Brunch! A brunch in my honor is a first for me! I enjoyed each and every bite. In fact, I made a piggy of myself by going back for seconds. You just can't pass up good food!
The best gifts, particularly at this time of my rather shambled life, are the words that are written in a card or sent to me by email. I so deeply appreciate the messages that I've gotten today from the dear friends at school that think of me as a "Mom" to them. I grabbed hold of each of your words, knowing just how special you are to me and the bond that we share.
Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers in the world that love their children as much as I love mine!
Happy Mother's Day to my own mom...I miss you! I miss all of the fun we shared looking at a piece of material and seeing the beauty in the most delicate of designs. I miss hearing you say, "You little monkey!" when we did something you thought was special. I miss our trips to Harrisonburg when my pockets were bulging with tips from waitressing at Bryce Mountain.
Mom, as you take a walk with God, please ask him to .... please ask him to take my fear away. Please ask him to let me be able to hear the words someday soon that I'm cancer free. Please ask him to give me the strength to be all that I want to be and do all that I want to do and say all that I want to say. Please ask him mom to make this nightmare go away. I love you mom....

I'm so glad your boys made sure you had a wonderful Mother's Day! Im sure you enjoyed every delicious minute with everyone together in your honor! You deserve every minute of it!!
Lots of love,

Such great comments about your Mom. I can still remmber her laughter and the smile that lit up her face. She was proud of you Sharon, and who can forget the care you gave her when she experienced the "Thing" that was in her body. Hank and Joan are walking around in heaven watching out for their "little monkey". Joan is saying the rosary and asking God to take away your fears.
Oh Sharon, I just read your updated post. You make my heart leak! I am sure that your dear sweet mom is your strongest angel up in heaven working to make sure you hear those lovely words! And, when you do hear that you are cancer free... all your angels will be rejoicing - in heaven and on earth.
Thinking of you always,
Rosemary
Dearest Sharon, how could your beautiful, simple request be heard and not be answered...you have such a powerful prayer network here on earth AND in heaven.
Love ya,
Rita
Blessings on you today Sharon. I will be praying for you as you fight this "thing". It's inspiring to see so many coming together in prayer and support. Loved the Shrink, shrink, shrink video! What a special group of friends you have at Catoctin.
