To VivianLee

I'm going to go out on a limb here; but I hope our little group agrees with me.

Vivian's love for David is the single most noticeable facet about their journey. Her love is beautiful. Her love for David lifts us all. It is the type of love that makes life worth it. We see all her pain and we respond to that pain. But equally, we see her love, and from time to time we should also respond to that love.

If I did not use the right words to state this, come on group, chime in and submit the right words. Rick.

    Rick,
    Thank you for your kind words. It has been such a hard day. David bled so badly today they had to pull his PICC line. Then he was having severe chest pain and to top it off he is now running a 102.4 fever. His WBC is only .3 and abs. Neutrophils .03. They have started three different antibiotics, he is taking an antiviral and antifungal too. They told us that a fever could change everything. He may not even get to a long term care facility before his next chemo. I read your post Rick and it touched me so and the flood gates were opened. Bless you.

    I couldn't agree with you more. Vivian is really such an angel you can just feel her love for David in every post she puts up, some things in life just simply suck, no other way to say it and this is one of those things. I am still praying and will continue to pray for both of them. Poor David sounds like he wants to fight this with everything he has but all these darn complications keep coming up and are wearing him out. God will hear our prayers very soon I hope and things will turn around for them. It just has to!

    Agree with Rick ...
    Rick, you said it well.

    To be David and to have the love Vivian gives may very well be a lifetime of love some couples never experience no matter how long they have been together.

    Vivian...if I may say so, David tho ill is a very, very blessed man to have you in his life at this very moment in time and I have no doubt you feel the same blessing to have David in your life.

    I second that emotion.
    Well said Rick, nicely put.
    I pray God shows them miracles, they deserve one or two or three.

    God bless

    Not Just Kind Words
    But kind of Rick to think to put the feeling into words, and post them. Thanks, Rick, for saying out loud what so many have been thinking. And thank YOU, VIvianLee - for giving us another reason to "root" for you two.

    Everyone has said what I would have...Vivian is an angel sent to walk David through this differcult journey and I know it has made her a stronger person for it. I pray that one day they both can look back at this bump and the road and just sigh as they grow old together.

    With many prayers and thoughts
