    PinkKari09 Update 1/7/12

    KarLee posting an update:

    Mom is approaching the end of her second week since she was admitted to hospice. She is still nonverbal and has not ate or drank since admission. It is so difficult to see someone go through the amount of suffering that she has been through in the last weeks. I have always said that there is a reason for everything, but this is making it very hard to understand why anyone would possibly be dealt the cards that Mom has been dealt.

    I hate to sound negative, but it is very difficult to understand why.

    Despite this, i do still count the blessings that have come out of this experience. I look back at all the things that Mom was able to do because of the life sustaining treatments that she was gifted. In the last year and a half she traveled to Texas, Arizona, Cancun, and Denver with her closest family and friends. She got to go on a river fishing trip, see her Son graduate and her Daughter get married. She had two more holiday seasons and thanksgivings, two more birthdays and countless conversations and opportunities to spend time with those who are closest to her.

    Thinking about the positives helps. Makes things bearable. Makes me understand that there are prices to pay for everything in life. Mom got to have all those experiences, and now is paying the price. Still doesn't seem fair, but sometimes you can't make sense of everything.

    That's all for now. Sorry it took awhile to get an update posted. Sometimes it's hard to find the right words and I hate posting bad news for all you amazing fighters who are in the midst of all different stages of your battle. Just know that for every sad story, there is a happy story. Keep fighting and now that you are always on my mind and in my heart.

    Thanks Clementine

    Thanks Clementine for reposting Karlee's newest update.  I couldn't read anything either, just had symbols.

    Karlee, thanks for posting so we know how your mom is doing.  I am including, as always, Kari in my daily prayers and will never stop. 

    I love your mom and she has been such a huge inspiration to me.  She truly is my hero.

     

    With many,many hugs and prayers, Megan

    I don't know how Clementine converted it, but I'm thankful.  It is hard to even get on this site.  Very frustrating.  When I finally did and saw symbols, I had no clue how to correct it.  Not that computer savvy.  So, if you see this Clementine, give us a lesson!  Thanks so much for your help.  Lex and I appreciate it:)

    Clementine, thank you!  I am

    Clementine, thank you!  I am thankful to you also for converting Karlee's post. 

     

    To Karlee, just know that Kari and your family remain in my prayers and thank you for taking such good care of our sweet pink sister.

    Happy to help!

    But sad that I an conveying such a sad message.  I feel for Kari and and her family.  Her daughter is a wonderful person to watch over her and keep her safe as she has been.  From Kari's posts it doesn't surprise me that she is still fighting - even in these last days.  She most certainly is a fighter and an inspiration.  I am hoping for peace for Kari and her family during these devastating times. 

    As for the weird text.  I know that there is a text called "wingdings" that is symbols like those in KarLee's post so I copied the text of her post into a word document and changed the text to one that we use (like Arial or Times New Roman) and voila!  It turned into English again.  Computer problems can be maddening.  Hopefully the CSN Administration will get the issues on this site resolved sooner rather than later.

    Best,

    Clementine

    It's Not Easy

    Dear KarLee,

    It's not easy watching a loved one being overtaken by cancer.  You are doing all that you can to bring peace, comfort, and joy to your mother, which are wonderful acts.  Thank you for letting us know how she is doing.  Not only is she in my prayers, but you are also.

    Lots of Hugs,

    Janelle

    Karlee .. as you can see, your mom has a

    special place in each and every heart here on our 'support site'.  I love her to pieces --- My name is Vicki Sam.  Both Mom, and I started on this journey

    somewhat the same time.  She has always lived life with her 'boots on' , doing it her WAY!

    Kari is so so proud of YOU, and your Brother.  Remember Cancun,  I do.  She beamed with joy when she watched you graduated Nursing School,  she

    cried with happiness with you married, and worried when she ask you to help her on this last part of her journey. 

    I believe when Kari is looking out at you, she is recalling all the happiness, and joy both you, your brother and Husband have brought to her.

     

    I will never forget a shirt Kari has .. F$$$ Cancer -- she sported it while on vacation, wearing her cowboy hat! --- That's our Kari!

    Miles of love, hope and strength for you dear, KarLee.

    May our Lord grant courage, and serenity for all.

    Good news or bad news, we

    Good news or bad news, we still want to know because your Mom is very special and she means so much to us.   So please, don't be afraid to say anything here.   This is a safe place to say what you really feel.  Thank you so much for sharing with us.  It helps me to better understand how my family feels.  I wish I were there so I could give you a big hug.

     

    I hope your Mom finds what she is looking for.  Peace and strength to you and your family.
