I am adding her and you all to my prayers. May you all be blessed with the strength and perseverance to face each day with hope, and holding the hands of so many friends who love all of you. Please send my love to Flynne and tell her I am holding her in my heart. I think that when I was in my container gardening business phase, I put some pots together for Flynne -- always a gracious and loving smile on her face.

It's very s...Ross, Aynsley and amazing family, <br />It's very sweet and courageous of you to share such a deeply emotional and private time in your family's life with those of us who have been reached by the ever-present interweb extended family. I know that not much can be offered in times like these, other than words of love and hope - and so I wish to do just that. I will keep your family in my every prayer until your mom is in ship-shape and back to one-thousand percent, and please know that in the meantime it's inspirational and humbling to witness your family's love and both of your care and devotion. Please let me know if there is any single thing I can do to make your days easier or help soothe your aches...<br />Wishing you all the very best of luck,<br />--Melinda Ritchie (and husband Jerry... and cat, Elvis... because, ya know, why not... ^_^)melindoirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16596022405948303780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031904549574041218.post-32201369736581271012011-01-03T08:41:42.336-08:002011-01-03T08:41:42.336-08:00Dear Aynsley,
We all appreciate the blog very muc...Dear Aynsley, <br />We all appreciate the blog very much, and we also know that somehow, somewhere, you, your Mom, and family, as well as close circle, all need time to rest, reflect, care for yourselves, heal, and wrap your minds around the huge changes this diagnosis has engendered for daily life and roles among you all. If you need to close the gates a bit to protect yourself, feel empowered to do so. If you need to write less and rest more, you have our blessings and support. It is great to hear that your Mom is doing well with the treatment. It is also totally exhausting to be in the hospital, with constant interruptions. Please do what you need to do to stay strong and renewed to face each day. There will be ups and downs, and we are all grateful for the support you are providing for your Mom. May your concern for informing us not take away from your ability to find time for yourself.<br />Hugs and much love to you all,<br />Melissa Upton CydersMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01209838704280413965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031904549574041218.post-55699797616748801372011-01-03T07:14:43.454-08:002011-01-03T07:14:43.454-08:00My dear,

You've become such a source of information and tenderness and honesty that we can't forget what this is like for you as well. I still call my mom to find out exactly what temperature to bake a potato, so I understand the connection, and know how drastically the roles have changed right now. Thank you, thank you for still having the energy to share with us. It is a privilege. I'm so happy you were able to sleep with your mom last night. I hope it was a good night.<br /><br />Flynne, Marci and I talked to Mark yesterday as he'd just returned from vacation. You'll appreciate this. He called me about 9:30 last night about an hour after we'd gotten off the phone as he couldn't figure out how to post a comment on the blog and needed help--we're going to "practice" today. As he said, "makes you wonder how I make it to work everyday!" You have all of our thoughts and smiles and strength. Sending you an appetite for just a little of something yummy from Whole Foods and the strength for radiation and chemo today.<br />Love, KimboUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00829429903130676412noreply@blogger.com
