Sad

I'm sad.

I'm sad that I got some news about a very close loved one who received some lousy medical news.

I'm sad that she has to battle this disease for a second time.  (Although, she seems to be facing it with a fight and positive spirit.)



I'm sad that her husband has already lost one spouse to this disease, and he is having to face being the cheerleader for another.  (Although, he's stronger than any man I know.)

I'm sad that I'm not there to show more support and give hugs when needed.


I'm sad that there is a Celebration of Life for my friend that we lost a couple of weeks ago that I am going to miss.  #TeamKeesler

I'm sad.

I don't have many followers or readers, but those of you that are here, I appreciate so much.  The support and encouragement and smiles that I get through my blogger interactions are amazing.  When I'm sad, I need a smile.  Thank you for your positivity that I feel from across oceans.

  2. Be sad. From sadness comes reflection and change. Sadness always gives me strength. Maybe not right then. But after. I'm sad. But I'm thankful that you and I are dear friends that have lived life through good and tough times. Laughing and crying through it all. Love you tons.

  3. I love you darlin... I can't believe the word cancer is being uttered another time, when not just a short time ago another beloved was taken from this horrible and awful disease. :( I'm rooting for your friend.

    By the way, I lit a candle for your friend today #

  7. i'm sad, too. i wish cancer would get cancer and die, too.

    just because you're not within arms reach of your friends doesn't mean they don't feel the warmth of the compassion you give them.

    and what's this about not having many readers? i see lots of comments on your blog, erin gray. you hush. :]

  13. Cancer sucks the big one. My Mum had breast cancer. Her sister had it. Two of my other Aunties had it. It sucks. I hate it. I hate that you are going through having to deal with loved ones having it. Big hugs to you and all my prayers to them!

  14. I'm sad that you're sad. No one should have to shoulder this much bad news in one month. And cancer should get cancer because cancer is an asshole.

    I'm here if you need me and I'm thinking of you.

I love comments, and I enjoy our interactions. I respond via email, but if you're a "no reply blogger", I can't. Don't think I'm ignoring you!
