From one crafty mother to another, you write an amazing blog. I hope you find it therapeutic to write and that it gives you strength. I am the daughter of an alcoholic (I'm 40, she's 65 and sober for 25 years), much of what you write resonates with me. Your piece about not writing about your recovery was wonderful, and your thoughts on your current struggle are moving. It's amazing the people that you find in this blog world, some truly special folk. Many thanks.

So much love to you, Ellie. I think of you so oft...

I stumbled upon your blog after googling "cancer inspiration words" under images and came upon your photograph "Cancer has the word can in it." Your post is so moving. You are such an inspiration.

Wow! Sure you can. I was looking for daMomma and hit on your link over there, and found you. A speedy recovery, dear.

My daughter is an avid reader of Crying Out Now and your blog and just wanted to add my prayers and wishes to your list. Additionally, I will put you and your family in my God can, and remember God can.

I don't know you and likely never will except through here, but you are special, as is your daughter. I am praying for you and your family. Much love from BC Canada.

Oh what a strong girl you have! She could only have known to say that because you are her mother. So amazing.

2012-01-16T11:06:53.132-05:00

Ellie - I am so grateful for you and your wisdom. You are handling all of this with such grace, such courage. If you can feel "free" in the midst of all this, then, oh my, you are really free. Even if "the shallow pool" gets a little deeper this next few weeks, here's a verse of scripture to consider: (if I were there, I'd put it in your prayer box, but, know that you have a cyber-prayer box, and that's where I'll place it.

"When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you" Isaiah 43:2

2012-01-16T11:02:41.952-05:00

Ellie, thank you for writing this. I'm a long time reader, but I don't think I've commented before.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer on Dec. 6th. Though my journey is different than yours, I find many similarities and enjoy so very much the thoughts you share.
That note made my day, too. Thank you.

Oh, I'm crying! That is such a sweet note. Also, I'm so glad to hear that your social support network is in full swing; with all of that love and support it makes it so much easier to focus your energy on getting well!

Ellie -- your post and your daughter's note were so touching. I'll never forget her note actually. it's beautiful and positive, just like you even as you go thru the worst of your ordeal. A lot of us are praying for your strength to get thru this and for your healing. Thank you for being a giant dose of inspiration and giving to us as you help yourself. You should feel very proud of yourself and your daughter. I love your authenticity of your posts. You are not alone. Love, Joanne

The word you used ...shimmering.. is the way I think of you as you go through this process. You maintain your grace and appreciation for so many things instead of being angry and self centred that it teaches all of us to try and be better than we are in our lives. The loss of 16 lbs is scary and I hope that the feeding tubes help as I was amused to picture you nibbling the cheeseburger. This made me smile and I was happy to know that you are still the same determined person we all admire.

I'm all into some chats with God and today as I sat in church with my family, a lot of my God talking was about you. Sending you all kinds of soul-fueling strength......
