♥ Hearts for Madelene ♥
♥
After I wiped the tears from my eyes, I started to smile and my heart felt full. What a beautiful and touching tribute to someone so loved. I truly think that Madelene can see the hearts from heaven....I really do!
Thank You Stef for sharing this beautiful site with us.
And, like RE, I am not on here much anymore as life after cancer means I am moving on to live a full and happy life, too full at times. lol But, I check in every now and then to still stay in touch somewhat.
I pray that you are doing well Stef and enjoying your summer to the fullest! Thanks again for your post as it has touched my heart.
Love, Jeanne ♥0 -

I am also not on here as often. Many of the long timers know that I was going through job losses for both my hubby and myself, home foreclosure, bankruptcy, loss of one vehicle as well as cancer. Sounds awful doesn't it. Well, it really wasn't nearly so bad as it sounds. We are both retired and while our finances are much lower we are doing okay. We have moved to a cute 1 bedroom place in Alameda with a little yard (that the landlord takes care of) around the corner from our daughter and her family and we love it. The place is so much easier for us and we love the area and having the grandkids a few doors away. We were in our house for 33 years (we did a refinance to upgrade it and then the market went south and we were upside down on the mortgage). You would think that I would be sad to leave it, but it was a lot to keep up with a big yard. It was a house full of joy and laughter that we moved into when our girl was 2. I know that it will be bought by someone who will love it and they will feel the love and joy and positive energy that we left there. We don't need two cars so giving up the truck was easy. We have no bills hanging over our heads and hubby is on medicare and I am still covered by cobra. Soon I will be on medicare and I won't have to pay the cobra costs (which are high but manageable). So as long as we have our health, our family and each other, Den and I will be just fine. As some of you know I always try to find the upside to any situation. Sometimes it's harder to find but it's there. My cancer was caught early, very treatable and I am doing fine. My check ups have been good and I have no side affects from the arimidex. I consider myself a lucky lady. I have always said that I don't borrow trouble. I don't think of my glass as half full or half empty, I'm just glad I have a glass.
This journey can be long and hard and full of ups and downs, pitfalls and upsets. I have been very lucky that in spite of having had 3 different primary cancers and 2 skin cancers in 10 years that I have done so well. I wish that all those with cancers had the path that I have walked. It wasn't a walk in the park but it wasn't Mt Everest either.
Like Jeanne and Re and so many others I will probably be on here less and less. Life is calling and I am enjoying it to the hilt. But I will check in on occasion and if I think I have something important (at least in my mind) I will speak up. And if I find something that I think will inspire like the heart site I will post it. Re, thanks for making the access easier. I was so touched by this tribute when I saw it. I want to tell you all, both old friends and new that I hope all of you thrive and get healthy and dance with NED. Bless you all so much, you have given me more than you will ever know. With love and affection

Susie,
Page is a female. She and her girlfriend were very much in love. And this was her way of expressing that love. Love comes in many packages and it is always so beautiful. I am glad that you and the others were able to enjoy this wonderful expression of devotion.

Susie, You are not dense (I hope that I didn't imply that in my message). The name could be either a guy or girl and I also tend to think in couples that are the opposite sex even though I have friends that are in same sex relationships. Just wanted to clarify this. It truly doesn't matter whether we are men and women, men and men, or women and women, love is love. And this type of love is inspiring to all who are touched by it. Love is the greatest gift we can give each other.
