Happy Birthday Melissa!

I have chemo again tomorrow, (3 weeks on 1 week off) I have a feeling they will be changing the chemo again, I'm starting to get those little blue bruises again, like when was running low of potassium. Being tired is the weirdest feeling in the world! I can sleep 24 hours straight and still feel like I just missed the missed the bed! lol When I first found out I had breast cancer, I thought ok, I'll have  it for a little while then when I am done, I done with it. You're aren't even sure how you feel about the cancer, they told me I would have 8 weeks of chemotherapy and 2 years of physical hormone replacement, I STILL don't know what exactly went wrong where but something sure didn't work out in my best interest......there are days I loaf of bread confuses me! lol

We all have our childhood issues and with my Brother he was always told he was never going amount to anything, he was no good..so My Father told him like his Father before him...My Brother's intelligence would be questioned,my Sisters's weight would always get asked even though she really wasn't overweight and you could never get away with calling me stupid! Well........I get pretty stupid now, Like a said a loaf of bread confuses me and I wish to God it was a joke! Who knew Chemo was so life altering huh?? lol

One of my buddies is in the mattress business and I am so impatient instead of waiting a few extra days I ran out and bought one by myself......instead of waiting for Jim....a queen didn't even fit in the back of suburban...I called my Brother and he saved me...(pick-up truck)....sorry BOB! Thought it was going to be a quick hop, skip and a jump and I'm in my new bed! lol Now I'm looking for a small student desk for Lil Jimmy's old room..... I have my lap top now and I am slowly getting used to it........just to keep all my paperwork on.

I never was a great house cleaner but I do want to at least look like I am putting the house in some kind of order.....don't worry I'm not going anywhere,,,,, Bob owes me lunch...they just refinished remodeling the restaurant so don't worry Bob there is still a chance you'll get to buy me lunch! lol lol lol

So what did I learn this weekend? Queen beds don't fit in suburban's, you can still call your brother to move a mattress, Bob still wants Mongolian BBQ and a lap top is not any faster than a PC!

To my friends and family that are giving me my space right now I really appreciate it, I'm not sure where my body is going with this cancer thing but it's definitely working it's way through the rest of me, I don't know how much chemo I am going to end up having, I never know how much illness I am going to have with it either, I just know it sure sucks right now to be me!

(((Kim))).....I heard the song today that reminded me of you.  I love to sing it when I hear it.  I can usually keep it together but I broke & just cried.  I went thru so much today and miss your words of encouragement, wisdom, and postitive emails.  Rest high on that mountain Kim.  You are so so missed!!!
Hugs,

An astonishing 400+ comments, Kim, you have been such an example to so many in your struggle with cancer. And continue to be so, even now that the struggle is over. Your sister is doing a marvellous job, you would be proud of her. Rest in peace, I am so happy that your pain is over.

I wish I didn't get this big lump in my throat when I think of you, or whenever someone talks of you and  brings you into mind again.
I miss you very much my 'Beautiful Irish Eyes'.
Rest In Peace brave friend.

Hey You...
I'm missing you today! I miss you everyday but today hurts! I'm mad as hell that you aren't here, yet stupid people are! I knew you would find that funny. I know you are with those who need you. And I thank you for that.
I just want to hear your laughter one more time. Oh, how I wish......

Hey Kim

Coming by to sit a spell. Your often in my thoughts, I can't seem to write in my own journal anymore. It just does not hold any spark for me. I think I've move on, but moving on from You, well that's just impossible. I miss you, you left in the winter and now spring is here....it's just not the same without you.

Love Brenda

Our dear Pink Warrior Kim......I miss you and your writing.  No matter what was going on with my own health problems.......coming here made me grateful.  This past week......has been one of those weeks where I don't feel like I can go on.  I come here and re-read some of your entries and they give me hope!  Thank you for sharing yourself and your life.  I am really missing you!
Love & hugs,

Hey You....
It's just me. Missing your laughter more than ever these past few days. Needing your raw sense of humor to pull me out of the darkness of reality. My belief in "everything happens for a reason" currently finds me looking for a reason!

I love you more....

It looks like I am not the only one that still seems to come here to your journal on a daily basis.  I sometimes forget that there will not be a new entry.  You made a lasting mark on so many people.  You will forever be in our hearts.

Kim you're in Gods special care now, but all of us who read your journal site miss you and you'll forever hold a special place in our hearts.  You'd be so proud of your Sis Kelly, she's journaling now and touches all of us with her words. She misses you so much Kim.....all your readers care about your Sis and we're there for her.  Hope your and my Sis Elaine met, knowing the two of you, you'll have all the other angels in heaven laughing all the time.  Arlene (AJ)

Yours was the first journal I ever read.  I don't want it to be the last. I am truly sad that your words & those of others that have passed on will be lost when AOL closes journals forever.  When I began mine it opened my 1st year of friendships in JLand.  I don't know why but when I was looking at the "BLOG" page your jouranl popped up as "RECENTLY UPDATED" .  Blessings***

You have a beautiful Grandson! Melissa and Tony did a great job! I've only seen pictures but he is an absolute Gem! There is a picture of Jim (Grandpa) and AJ and there is one person missing from that picture and that one person is you my dear! Oh Kim, I miss you so much I cannot even put it into words. I know you are watching from above and have got to be so proud. Here's to you, Grandma!! I love you always.

Oh Kim,  I just miss you and I miss reading your blog.  I have been thinking about you a lot lately...wishing you were here to give me advice on what to do in my situation...wishing I could just chat with you again.  You've been gone a short while, but you definitely left your imprint on the world.  We miss you so much that we are all still chatting with you here on your blog! LOL

Blessings to you, my friend.  See you again someday.

I had to stop in and say goodbye my friend, my thoughts this past year have wandered to you and Lahoma.

I know in my heart that you both are in a happier place, I am so happy that I got to know you two even for such a brief moment in time..love you....Sandi

Just passing by all that have gone before this evening. It's been more than two years, Kim. You're not forgotten, you were a fantastic example.

I was thinking of you Kim, 'My Beautiful Irish Eyes'. So I thought I would call by to honour your lovely memory.
You were a 'Special Lady' who loved her family to the hilt and beyond.

The third milepost has been passed, Kim, and you continue to be a beacon of hope for all women who share your predicament. I'm glad you're now out of pain. You won't be forgotten.

Linda George said...

Just wrote an entry, first in a very long time and having a look at some of our old friends. It made me want to pop in and have a chat with you. I still don't get how, with your bravery, that you didn't win through. I think I may have stopped being angry but then again, maybe I haven't. You're loved and missed. xx

ADB said...

Approaching the 4th milestone, Kim, but time no longer matters in the place that you're at now. No more pain or suffering. You are remembered with love and admiration by all of us, in J-land and beyond.
