My Converstaion with God today

I don't want this post to bum anybody out, but it's on my mind so I thought I'd share.

I had a good run of errands today with mom, then took a walk, now that I'm feeling better. Getting dehydrated is more debilitating than I think.

Anyway, on my walk, I had some prayerful talk with God.

"Dear God, I WILL not die from this cancer. No freakin way. I need 20 years, 20 years to see my baby girls on their paths, paths I hope me, Lee and of course YOU, will guide them .

I will not be one of those 5-year survival stats. I DO not want to be a sad story at the end of it all. I need to live, to thrive and figure out YOUR purpose for me though all this. Please give me the time to do it, I will do you proud, just show me the way.

YOU NEED ME to be your soldier, to minister in whatever way you want me to. I ask for this, and it may be selfish, but I promise not to disappoint."

AMEN

    The "c" word has no idea how stubborn and what a fighter you are - and I know and God knows that's true - kick some cancer ass my dear sweet Peg - I'll be flying to Chicago from Vermont for another pilgrimage to Holy Name Cathedral in your honor (remember the first time you took me there?) See you in three weeks girlie! Hang tough - love you!! xoxo ~ Lori
