My way of saying..."Thank you all'
We Never Walk Alone...
I remember getting the doctors call, tears swelled up but they did not fall…
Shaking and trembling, fear I have never known… I could not tell my family, for the fears of all their own.
Confusion, fear, anxiety consumed me like a fire, to run away from all this, was truly my desire.
Searching for information, I came to this special place, spoke of my fears, anxiety, with tears streaming down my face.
Your words all extended out, I could feel your presents near, bringing me hope and comfort, helped me face my fears.
Speaking words of encouragement that pierced straight into my heart, to tell you all how thankful, I don’t know how to start.
So, though I cannot see you, please know I understand, for I still feel your presence and can feel you hold my hand.
You have so much compassion, understanding and grace, you share yourself so selflessly, I hope I can repay….
All the debt and gratitude that I feel so deep inside, wearing pink with you, my friends, swells my heart with pride
I do not know where our journey’s will take us, when will we reach the end? Yet please know I am proud to know you, blessed I can call you friend. .
What lies ahead is not clear, the journey is so unknown, but I find such strength and peace in knowing, none of us walks alone.

Beautifully written!Marcia527 said:I'm just a wad of chewing gum
If we all stick together than no one can chew us up and spit us out to be stepped on in a parking lot. We will be as big as that cement ball in front of Target and they will have to step around us.
That was beautifully written and expressed! I actually have tears in my eyes(although it isn't difficult to make me cry!). Thank you!! HUGS!! Cathy0 -
thank YOU
Just to let you know... YOU have already made a difference in MY journey. No matter what happens I will keep up on here (as much as most I would suspect)because no matter what I found out just having the lumps has impacted my life. I am at least somewhat certain already, I will have no less than a lumpectomy. I would think it has at some point the ability to become cancerous - (I have been chewed out all ready for thinking the worst) unless it already is.
Part of the erason I will probably keep up is my caregiver status with my dad, even though his cancer and caregivers are different topics on the board. I will still feel some kinship even it is just the "what-if" factor. SO.... THANK YOU TOO!0 -

Taleena,
Thank you so much for the words I have felt but could not express in such a beautifuly way!
I was having a day from hell, everything hit me today, every emotion you can feel or have I have gone thru them with a whole lot of crying in between.
That is until I came here to my new friends!
I truly believe God has brought us all together to comfort each other in a way no one else knows how!!!!
To all of you here, my dear new friends, please know that you are in my heart and prayers for life!

You touched my heart!!!
Taleena, that was absolutely beautiful!! Can I put it as the opening page in my book? You have a wonderful talent in expressing feelings through poetry. I am proud & blessed to call you my friend as well!! Hugs and tissues coming your way......:) Pammy0 -
This must be my 24 hours to cry
Last night and again today, as I read your poem, tears streamed down my face. I have tried to write about what I (we) are going through (I write free-verse poetry) but I just cannot do it. I don't understand it, I can write poetry about just anything-even having to put my pup to sleep at the age 10 months. So, Taleena, thank you for sharing the words I have not been able to write.
I've been thinking about my pup, Eva Marie, a lot lately. I will be having a memorial on July 8th, the one-year anniversary of her death. I can't blame the tumolt I am feeling inside from the meds, since I have not been taking them for a month, I guess I'm just being emotional.
I wrote a poem about her, do you want to read it? I'm going to try to put it on my expressions page.
My God, I sure could use a hug right now.

dmc, I'm hopping on the train and adding my hug also. If I could, I would even send a HUG-A-GRAM......but I don't think it has been invented yet. Hope you have a better day today! Pammy0 -
no, Taleena, Thank YOU!!!!
Our Sister Taleena
Has taken the time
To express her deep feelings
With prose and with rhyme!
As part of our family
She stepped out to share
And put into words
Just how much she cares.
The dread that we felt
Even needing this place
Is now a safe haven
With most fears erased.
So Thank YOU, Taleena
For touching our hearts
You brought love and compassion here
Right from the start!0
