    I have never seen decisions
    I have never seen decisions such as yours as one of quitting but quiet surrender to the reality of live in a given moment. It takes a great deal of courage and strength to make a decision like this. It is bitter sweet. I feel so sad and my heart aches that you are in the position or need to make such a decision and also offer my support to you. Will continue to pray for you, that you are supported and guided to do whatever is best for you.

    much love and bigh hug to

    Kari,

    I applaud your decision. You are doing what is best for you as a person. I hope when I get there I am able to choose what is best for me as well. It must be scary and I understand about missing things. I think about that all the time myself and I'm stable. I have come to realize though that there will always be things I miss when ever I go. If you get a chance read the book Heaven is Real. It is truly inspiring. You will always be with your children they are part of you. I'm here for you and praying for you tonight as I do every night. You hold a special place in my heart as you have always been such a positive person and I respect that so much. I'm glad you will get some quality time with your family, enjoy.

    With Love,
    Sister to Sister
    Terry

    Bless your heart, Kari...
    I agree 100% with Quality over Quantity! I don't blame you for wanting good days and heaven knows you don't get that while riding on the chemo wagon! Live to the fullest, love everyone around you and love the time you have!

    Kari, sending miles of love your way. You have had to make many tough decisions since beginning your battle with the beast. You have been through so much and always with such grace. I agree with your decision because it is one made by you and taking into account your desires. I totally agree with quality over quantity. I am hoping for the good days that you so deserve so you can enjoy your time and create even more memories for you and your loved ones. We are always here for you and I think of you often.

    Take care of yourself and keep in touch when you can! I'm sending you strength and love!!

    My dear sister Kari,
    My heart aches reading your post. You have been through more hardships then any one person should have to endure and you've done it with such class and grace. I admire and love your courage and spirit. I know this wasn't an easy decision for you to make . I too have often thought of how much I could push my body if I had too, I also will choose quality over quantity. I pray your remaining time you are achieving all you deserve, and you are surrounded by those that mean the world to you. For you sweet sister mean the world to us... And we will miss you when you are gone. Thank you for giving us a piece of your soul and may God watch over you in these next few months.

    Love you dear sister...

    Dear Kari,
    I don't post much
    Dear Kari,
    I don't post much anymore but I just read all of the wonderful comments written by all of the Kindred Spirits and a song by Faith Hill came to mind and it reminded me of you.

    I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
    You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
    May you never take one single breath for granted
    God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed
    I hope you still feel small when you stand by the ocean
    Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
    Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
    And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

    I hope you dance
    I hope you dance

    I think you are a dancer and you have danced your way into everyone's heart.
    Soul2Soul you are the best.

    Hugs and prayers for lots of good days.
    Donna

    Dear Kari,
    I only come here occasionally, mainly to see how my old friends are and you have been on my mind. I have come to "know" you these past 3 years and have followed your journey. You are the true meaning of grace under pressure. Always smiling, always thinking of all of us. You are a true hero and leader. Quitter? No way. You have made a very wise and thoughtful decision and I admire you so much.

    You are always in my thoughts and prayers.

    "Miles and Miles" of hugs,
    Judy

    I have tears for you. What a woman you are. It makes me happy though, that you made such a tough decision for yourself, but can feel "good" for awhile. I know it must be rough for you, but maybe you get a sense of peacefullness even though a far away kind as you are not suffering s/e, running to doctors, chemo, etc.

    I am glad you have such a beautiful home to go to when the end draws near.

    I can not imagine how you feel knowing the end is near, but enjoy the time you have left. It is such a double edged sword, isn't it?

    Maybe you can start writing your children letters so they have something of you that they can hold and see before you go, some special words of memories, advice, things you love about them? I know, if I had a great mom like you, I would think the world to have a surprise when you leave this world.

    I haven't been on in awhile
    I haven't been on in awhile and just saw this post. I don't know what to say Kari except that I love you, I support you and I will be praying as hard as I can for you!
