Last evening I had a phone call from one of my dearest friends, one of my partners in business, a wonderful person that has been there me literally for years. She is ill. She went to the emergency room because of a sinus infection and the ensueing headache that usually goes with it. They did tests and found a mass in her head.

It is going to have to be removed was all she said and I was too scared and upset to ask alot of medical questions.

She is coming here tonight for dinner so we can work all this out.

I am so scared....

Just think kindly for a person that has never harmed anyone or anything.... Just for her.



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...
My thoughts are with you and your friend  [message #6760 is a reply to message #6759] Fri, 20 December 2002 16:34 Go to previous messageGo to next message

I know how she has been there for you through thick and thin. I know how she and you, in your own way, love each other deeply as friends.

May that love see you both through this. Coupled with the thoughts and prayers of your many friends

I went through something similar with Robert earlier this year and can, I think, relate to how you must be feeling. Please give your friend my kindest regards and tell her she is in my thoughts and prayers - as are you. Your support for your friend will be a great blessing, I feel sure and please know that you both have mine.

She will need you now and you will be her strength. Whatever the outcome, she will know that you are right there for her.
I truly believe that thoughts and prayers make us strong. Hug her, hold her hand and let her fears be eased by your powerful friendship.

Marc,my thoughts are with your friend and with you tonight and in the days ahead.

That phone call came out of the blue; and even though this has happened before, this time it's more serious than in the past. The panic this brings on is unavoidable, and the feelings of sadness and helplessness brought on by that panic are undeniable.

Yes, it does seem that by far things like this do happen more so around the holidays than at other time of the year, and that does indeed suck. It's up to you and all those close to her to do your best to make the holidays as merry as you can for her (and for all of you she loves as well).

My hope is that everything turns out fine for all of you in the end, but especially for her.

Take care!
