Healing Bags
Hello dear sweet Kay!

Congratulations on your awesome achievement of surviving these 5 years!! Your post is beautiful--a reflection of you. Truly. I am so happy for you. Where you given the "cure" word? It took me awhile to claim it as mine. (I still have problems with that sometimes).

For all you newer Semi-colons, I have one of those bags Kay makes and it is wonderful. I love mine and keep it on my "special" table (dare I say altar?) to reflect on during meditation and prayer. You will be delighted, I assure you, when you get it.

On a personal note: my CT scans from last week are all clear and my colonoscopy from Monday was too. YIPPEE! That makes it 7 (!!!) years cancer free!

I hope you have many many more years of free and clear! Forever.


peace, emily

NED-Yay!
Dear Emily,

Congratulations!!! I am so happy for you. Seven years is awesome, so I'll have to go home & do a happy naked dance for you!!!!

Hmmm, what to say...
Well, Kay,

As you know I am very rarely at a loss for words. But I will try to piece together some that pertain to you and what a remarkable person you are. I did not know you before cancer. However, I really cannot believe that cancer was the reason for the wonderful person you are today. You are one of those people who generates energy and warmth wherever you travel. Your outlook on life and what it has to offer is amazing and more people should see things through your perspective. I have shared laughter and sorrow with you, both usually resulting in tears. You are a strong, giving, and selfless person. I am SO proud of your 5 year achievement and know that there will be many many more "5 yr milestones" to come.

I am so happy for you on this joyous time in this journey. You deserve nothing but the best.

Now....about this "Mary Merlot" persona I've heard about.....lol

Kay, you are so loved by so many! Thank you for what you have brought to all of us--especially me!

Hugs,

Stacy

Kay, aka Mary Merlot ~ Congratulation's on your 5 year milestone!


When we first met Kay in Las Vegas ( October 2005 ) her looks reminded us of Mary Tyler Moore. The below dedication was made after that trip, check it out.

Since Las Vegas we have had the pleasure of spending time with Kay in Austin, Halifax and Nashville. Kay has become a very dear friend and I am so proud to have her as a semi colon sister.

Congratulation's Kay!

We hope to see you in San Francisco...


Love,
Lisa Rose

Wow
Congratulations on your good news. I believe you are doing exactly what the good Lord wants us all to do with this journey and that is share your experience, strength and hope! I admire you!!!

Thank You!!!
Thank each of you from the bottom of my heart for your well wishes. Your extra kind comments made my day. I will start mailing the bags out on Saturday. Oh, and they aren't just a "girlie" thing. I have pocket pouches for the men!

Hugs,

Kay

For You................
In all of our journeys
and all of our thoughts
it seems as though you
come right to the top
like a blue ribbon prize
your the best that can be
just by your kindness
and sweet sympathies..
although I don't know you
you bring us to tears
in loving gestures
for your NED 5 years
and to you I will say
as Im sure others will
God sent us an angel
and that role you fill........

Congratulations on your 5 year new birthday............

****Bless each and every one of us in the fight against this disease and may you Lord comfort us and lead us down the paths we need to travel and be with us to give us all strength and take us into your arms and carry us through this road and lead us to the end of the destination, stronger and better for it.....in Jesus name we pray,Amen...........******



and on that I bid everyone goodnight.......

Hey Sweetie
I think you know how much I care for you and how much I attribute my continued health to your friendship, support, and love. Words aren't enough so you'll get a special happy in the mail soon.

FYI, I love my healing bag and just had to restitch the edges since they were pulling apart with the bag being so full. I have stuff in mine from dear friends and family, favorite vacations, wonderful memories and every time I hold it my heart warms up like a furnace. THAT has to be "healing". It goes with me to all doc appts!!!

Congrats on the CANCER FREE mark my dear and all my love to you. Here's to many many more Mary Merlot!!!!!!!!!
