    1. You are so welcome, Michelle! I am honored to have helped you in a way I know how to. Don’t ever let go of HOPE. That is all we have to continue getting through the tough times. Love, Amy ❤

  10. Make me thy lyre, ev’n as the forest is:
    What if my leaves are falling like its own!
    The tumult of thy mighty harmonies
    Will take from both a deep autumnal tone,
    Sweet though in sadness. Be thou, Spirit fierce,
    My spirit! be thou me, impetuous one!
    Drive my dead thoughts over the universe,
    Like wither’d leaves, to quicken a new birth;
    And, by the incantation of this verse,
    Scatter, as from an unextinguish’d hearth
    Ashes and sparks, my words among mankind!
    Be through my lips to unawaken’d earth
    The trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind,
    If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?

    P. B. Shelley

    1. God bless you, Carol. My Mom is very ill and from the looks of things, does not have much longer in this world. Her birthday is in June and if she makes that far, I’ll be surprised. Love, Amy ❤

      2. This is what my sister and I are working so hard on right now. My Mom wants to believe her doctor who does not have my Mom’s interest in mind at all. Carol, if you knew this story you would not believe it. So many people have been formed into believing the doctor knows best, when that is so far from the truth these days. Please pray I can get my Mom to finally understand NOT to go the route this doctor wants but to choose Hospice instead. All I want for my Mom is to have a pain free end. The cancer she has leads only to a very agonizing death. This is so complicated with family members refusing to listen to truth and good advice, with those same family members unflinchingly believing in medicine. I’m deeply shaken today. Again bless you for what you said and for your Love and concern. I’ve not said too much about my Mom because she is so private and the open door I have now with her I do not want to close. (((HUGS))) Amy ❤

      3. I truly understand. The medical establishment today is not to be blindly trusted in these days. I could tell you some stories of m experiences that you might be one of the few who’d believe me. Just recently, I was given a medicine that was supposed to be monitored and they didn’t so I became toxic. Heartbeat affected, dizziness ad nauseum literally. My spirit is with you and your mom, dearheart!

    1. Kathy, all is not well. My Mom is very ill. Please just pray that she makes the decision to go down Mercy Path instead of Agony Way that the ______ doctors are pushing on her. I’m really emotional right now. (((HUGS))) Amy ❤

      2. I’ve been keeping a low profile on this, Kathy, to be respectful of my Mom’s wishes to be a private person. It is a very difficult situation, made worse by doctors who I would Love to, well, let’s not go there. Mom has been lied to and manipulated, yet is just not ready to believe this. Everyone is in shock. Family really believed the surgeries she had took care of the cancer. Thank you for your prayers, my friend. Bless you!!! Love, Amy ❤

      4. Kathy, I’m taking the bull by the horns and posting something tomorrow that explains what is happening. My friends have a right to know that once again I am about to loose a parent and what I must do in order to try to get out of here to see my Mom. She has made a really bad choice choosing chemo which has me reeling. I am almost certain how this is going to play out. (((HUGS))) Amy ❤

  17. So beautiful Amy – your verse goes so well with the bright yellow daffodil. The Daffodil is the symbol for the Cancer Society of New Zealand – as it gives hope, a splash of bright yellow in the dark days.

    1. God bless you, Liz. I’ve been working with one of my sister’s trying to get my Mom to see straight. Blogging is really helping me get my mind off of things. This is a nightmare that just will not stop. My sis and I are really trying to make a bad situation, tolerable. (((HUGS))) Amy ❤

  27. Lovely, Amy. I hope your poor dear Mum will not have to suffer too much now. This is so hard for you to bear, but your words are so true. Doctors are not always right as you say, and they don’t always know what’s best towards the end of life. My thoughts are with you. xx

    1. Chris, I have a post coming tomorrow that explains to everyone what is happening. Mom chose chemo and I know from my medical background that it is not a good decision. I only want her to have a comfortable end of life. I’ve gone back and forth today in and out of shock, out of turmoil, and trying to make some very difficult decisions. My Mom has gone through so much already and you would think she would have had enough. Also being lied to and manipulated by doctors and still believing them … Her choice yet it rips my Heart to pieces. Bless you for your thoughts. I’m in tears by your kindness. (((HUGS))) Amy ❤
