Know that my friends and I are sending you lots of love and healing energy. You are in my thoughts daily. <br />an aside:<br />I played my violin on New years Eve and it occurred to me where I got the cloth rag I use for it's protection in the case. It's one of Ross's diapers! it made me smile, having something so silly (yet useful)of yours! <br />I hope your appetite and strength continue to grow. I'm so glad you have such a great support system, so many people love and care about you. Not surprising. You get what you give and you've given a lot.<br />I look forward to reading more good news in your blog. :)<br />lots of love and hugs,<br />Jodi (Zeisel!)Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01191780314729912814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031904549574041218.post-33980381674052696622010-12-30T20:40:34.364-08:002010-12-30T20:40:34.364-08:00Dear Ainsley: Thank you so much for blogging at th...Dear Ainsley: Thank you so much for blogging at the end of your roller coaster day. I cannot imagine the emotional hell you are going through, and the self-discipline and strength it takes to recap these nightmare days, but all I can say is that your blog is becoming a lifeline for your mom’s friends. We cannot thank you enough. Suzanne Skinner<br /><br />Dearest Flynne: Next time you crave Mexican my dear, please, please call me. I have not “come out” book club about this, but for the past year or so I have become obsessed with local taco trucks and hole-in-the-wall Mexican joints. A friend of mine from Detroit who shares this craving jokes that we should pen the local guide. Call me—I deliver and the tip will be on me! We all love you my dear and will stalk all those innocent taco truck cooks to do whatever we can to keep calories in you to fuel the incredible fight you are waging. A burrito fueled Flynne will indubitably conquer anything, including this tempest. I have pulled out my old college poetry books in what is probably a vain search for wise words to buttress you through this unfathomable ordeal. I don’t know poetry, and don’t understand the little I have read, so forgive me this choice, unless you like it. <br /> <br />In a Dark Time by Theodore Roethke<br /><br />In a dark time, the eye begins to see,<br />I meet my shadow in the deepening shade;<br />I hear my echo in the echoing wood-<br />A lord of nature weeping to a tree.<br />I live between the heron and the wren, <br />Beasts of the hill and serpents of the den.<br /><br />What’s madness but nobility of the soul<br />At odds with circumstance? The day’s on fire!<br />I know the purity of pure despair<br />The shadow pinned against a sweating wall.<br />That place among the rocks-is it a cave,<br />Or a winding path? The edge is what I have.<br /><br />Dark, dark my light and darker my desire.<br />My soul, like some heart-maddened summer fly,<br />Keeps buzzing at the sill. Which I is I?<br />A fallen man, I climb out of my fear.<br />The mind enters itself, and God the mind,<br />And one is One, free in the tearing wind.<br /><br /><br />You will be free from this terrible curse Flynne, you will. You are climbing out of this morass and we are belaying you from above and below. All my love, SuzanneTinúvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08564445106142728185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031904549574041218.post-58853637948803556692010-12-30T16:06:36.921-08:002010-12-30T16:06:36.921-08:00I sent email to Flynn's gmail account.

I think it's super that you ate some Mexican food that tasted pretty good. I pray that your doctors not only treat you well, but that they also give their guidance and support to you, Aynsley, Ross, and Marc.<br /><br />I pray for your well being and am glad to know that you are surrounded by the love of your kids. I pray that you recover soon and regain your strength. You are incredibly courageous and that's why you've maintained your clarity. <br /><br />My ex wife, Frances, fully recovered from Stage III breast cancer which was diagnosed back in 1994. She had a great doctor who used aggressive chemotherapy and radiation, and she has been in remission ever since. What Anysley writes to all of us in her blog speaks very well of your doctors, and the tender care she has given you.<br /><br />Please know that you are in my prayers, and go easy on the salsa & chili! I shall continue following the blog to see how you are doing.<br /><br />With hope and shalom,<br /><br />Jeff HellerJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02461696671683674762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031904549574041218.post-53459833149689877762010-12-30T11:54:21.517-08:002010-12-30T11:54:21.517-08:00You and the family are in my thoughts daily.

However you seem to have the most truthful words to reflect the emotions and experiences you and the family are treading through. Thank you for sharing your somatic and personal experiences in such a raw form...you have incredible courage! <br />I often find metaphors with the ocean to help me so this one is the one, I call upon frequently:<br />"We continue to swim in unknown waters, navigating the storms and soaking up the sunlit days. There are many moments where our sailboat gets swept up by the ocean storms, but we always manage to steer our way back to shore. We all try to maintain enough hope to withstand the strong winds from the typhoons, but there are times when they knock us over."<br />As you have mentioned in your blog...self care and self care. <br /><br />Hugs and Love to all of you!!!!<br />Be well,<br /><br />MarikaWannabe Country Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05754054041026037555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031904549574041218.post-23400465114589191022010-12-30T09:00:39.245-08:002010-12-30T09:00:39.245-08:00Hi love!

When I read that Flynne enjoys hearing people's comments, I decided I had to post and tell you how much I'm thinking of you all every single day. Of course, I wish none of you were having to go through this, but it's amazing and beautiful to watch a family come together and care for one another. Please know that I am sending you all my love and positive thoughts.<br /><br />Much love to everyone, <br /><br />Alex VUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18033483443202574971noreply@blogger.com
