Small update

Hey Everyone,

Just a quick update here... I've been wondering what to write on here, as nothing quite seems right....

Mom is continuing to fight and hang in there. She has her good days and her bad days. Mom is not in any pain and is comfortable.

She is still up for visitors, although we do ask that you call first to make sure that Mom is up to a visit that day or that they are home-they may be at an appointment. For those that don't have her phone number and would like to call, please send me an email- mghan.mckay@gmail.com .

One other thing, for those who are coming to visit, we do want to give a bit of a warning that Mom is not the same mentally or physically from what you remember her as. We want you to know this, so as to not be surprised.

Dear Roni, Brian, Shannon, Meghan, Patrick and families, Wilkie and I really appreciate the visit we had last night. It is so hard to see Roni struggle, but I am so proud of the way she continues to fight! Cancer certainly had no idea who they were dealing with! Roni, you are an admirable person and you have set the bar high for all of us to follow. The examples you have made of how to cope with what life throws at you will stay with me for the rest of my life.I continue to pray for your comfort and freedom from pain. When you get to the other side, please send me a sign that you are okay! Brian and your kids are so strong,and I know they will all be okay! Wishing you a comfortable day! Love Rae <3

Dear Roni, As you and I discussed several times while Samantha was ill, that I didn't feel it was right for "me" to take "family" time away with my visiting you. So I writing you a letter, so that you know how I feel and have felt about you, I leave nothing left unsaid now - that is one thing Cancer has taught me for sure. Roni, you WILL be okay - you know this for sure. For now, you are in my prayers and thoughts daily. You have been a constant reminder to me of what fighting cancer is all about. I have fought it for years - not ever having it 0 but fighting for those I love....I will continue to do so. I'll be in touch. Sending my love, hugs and much strength to all of you! Donna

If there is one thing you have taught me through all this it is this: that you have to take a healthy bite out of life's ass every single day. I look forward to many more insights such as this from you. Thinking of you my lovely.xoxo Niki
