Thanks for the support and prayers

May 1, 2001

Thanks dear friends for your concern, your support and those waves of

healing energy heading for my children.

No news yet on anything, but I spent the day pulling weeds and cleaning

out flower beds. It occurred to me what the parable about " wheat and

chaff' were all about. I couldn't separate the ground cover I planted

from the damn weeds in around and through it. I tore up perfectly lovely

herbs to get at those belligerent weeds. It was impossible not to take

some good stuff with the bad. Just as I would guess, the good suffer and

get thrown away ( or burnt as in the Bible) along with those we try to

rid society or the earth of.Sometimes it must be too hard to untangle them.

Tried to replant some of the torn out goodies, and hope they take root

again. I should have been at this weeks ago before Spring sprung, but

just couldn't make my self go out. Should have,before the annual weed

fest, but I feel much better mucking around in the dirt with my hands.

The temperature was 80 today and will head up this week.If this is

summer, it is too early...I am not ready to give up Spring yet.

My across the street neighbor mowed his grass yesterday, went in the

house and died of a heart attack on the kitchen floor. that's where his

wife found him when she came home. The guy was 48! Dear G-d the poor

widow! and I thought I had problems. My children will become well, I

There is no way I can help any of the kids since I am far away, but just

know it, and I am almost as confident about my husbands test and biopsy.

I am here and I have to be strong for everybody and encouraging.(

Unfortunately, I know what pain is and what suffering they are doing.)

But except be here and pray and remain strong, that's all a mother and

wife can really do.

Thank you again , those of you who wrote. it does help, you know.

Toni
