FARRAH FAWCETT
FEBRUARY 2, 1947
TO
JUNE 25, 2009
FARRAH WAS BORN TO JAMES AND PAULINE FAWCETT IN CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS.
HER OLDER SISTER DIED OF LUNG CANCER IN 2001.
SHE IS SURVIVED BY HER FATHER, JAMES FAWCETT, HER SON WHO IS
24 YEARS OLD, HER COMPANION, RYAN O'NEAL
AND THE MOST AMAZING FRIEND,
ALANA STEWART
YOUR STAR WILL NEVER GO OUT FARRAH
ALANA, GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU FOR THE PRICELESS FRIENDSHIP YOU
PROVIDED FARRAH. I KNOW DEAR, YOU HAVE A LARGE HOLE IN YOUR
HEART.
SHE WAS JILL MUNROE OF CHARLIES ANGELS.SHE WAS ON THREE'S COMPANY
BUT I WILL REMEMBER HER FOR WHAT SHE DID FOR BATTERED WOMEN WHEN
SHE PORTRAYED A BATTERED WIFE.
I WAS VERY SAD TO HEAR SHE HAD PASSED ON. I WATCHED HER SHOW
FARRAH'S STORY AND I CRIED OFF AND ON THROUGH THE WHOLE MOVIE.
I WATCHED HER FACE WHEN AFTER 3 MONTHS OF BEING DECLARED CANCER
FREE THE DRS. HAD TO TELL HER THE CANCER WAS BACK.
IT IS BAD ENOUGH TO SEE IT ON TELEVISION BUT EVEN WORSE WHEN YOU SET
ACROSS FROM YOUR DAUGHTER FOR 4 DIFFERENT TIMES IN HER 32 YEARS OF
LIFE...AND LISTEN TO THE DRS. TELL HER THE CANCER IS BACK AND IT ECHOES
OVER AND OVER IN YOUR MIND.
I LISTENED TO FARRAH ASK, "WILL THERE BE RAIN IN HEAVEN? WILL I BE ABLE
TO FEEL IT?"
MAY HER FATHER AND HER DEAREST FRIEND, ALANA STEWART FEEL GOD'S LOVE,
AND MERCY. MAY RYAN AND REDMAN RECEIVE RESTORATION IN THEIR LIVES
AND BECOME THE FAMILY FARRAH ALWAYS WANTED.
EVERYONE NEEDS A FRIEND TO HELP THEM THROUGH THE VERY ROUGH TIMES.
GOD HAS BLESSED ME WITH SOME WONDERFUL FRIENDS IN BLOGGY LAND WHO HAVE
ENCOURAGED, INSPIRED, LIFTED ME UP, AND PRAYED FOR AMY EVERY DAY.
YESTERDAY WE WERE ON THE MOUNTAIN TOP WHEN WE WERE PUSHED OFF
BUT THE WORD OF GOD SOFTENED OUR FREE FALL AND WE LANDED IN GREEN
PASTURES BESIDE STILL WATERS. THAT MOUNTAIN TOP AIR ISN'T ALL IT IS
CRACKED UP TO BE AND IT IS PRETTY WINDY UP THERE.
DR. DEXEUS FEELS THAT AMY'S ONLY CHANCE OF SURVIVAL IS TO HAVE THE
LYMPH NODE TAKEN OUT OF THE LEFT SIDE OF HER NECK....AMY DID NOT TELL
ME SHE WAS CONTINUING TO HAVE RATHER SEVERE PAIN IN HER NECK.
THIS BRINGS US RIGHT BACK TO WHERE WE WERE. THEY WILL HAVE TO DO
THE TEST WHERE THEY RUN THE CATHETER UP THE GROIN AND FEED A BALLOON INTO
HER CAROTID ARTERY. IF THE BALLOON CANNOT INFLATE INTO THE ARTERY SHE
HAS A 98% CHANCE TO HAVE A STROKE IMMEDIATELY OR WITHIN 4 DAYS.
THE LIFE OF A CANCER VICTIM IS UP...DOWN...PULLED AND TWISTED LIKE A
PREZTEL. SOMETIMES AT 0300 AMY IS SENDING ME COMPUTER MESSAGES.
THE ONLY APPOINTMENT DR. MEDINA HAS IN OKC IS ON HER BIRTHDAY, JULY 6, 2009.
WHO WANTS TO DRIVE ALMOST 2 HOURS ONE WAY TO SEE A CANCER SURGEON ON
ON YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHINE....WHINE....POOR ME.....I DON'T MEAN TO WHINE...I AM JUST BABBLING
BECAUSE THE STORY JUST KEEPS CHANGING.
DEBBIE AT JADEHOLLOW LEFT ME THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE ON MY
OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY POST. THE CROSS IS PUTTING A SHADOW ON WHATS AHEAD
(I AM PARAPHRASING HERE) AND ALL WE CAN SEE IS JESUS. IT BROUGHT
ME MUCH COMFORT AND SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHEN SHE MADE THE COMMENT
WE WERE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING FRUSTRATING NEWS. WE WERE NOT
WITH AMY AS SHE JUST NEEDED A CBC AND TO SEE THE NURSE....SO
NEEDLESS TO SAY SHE WAS QUITE UPSET WHEN SHE CALLED US.
WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS AND SHE WILL BLOOM AGAIN.
PLEASE PRAY FOR: AMY, LEILA, ROY AND ELISABETH, SALLY, TERESA,
JOHNATHAN, PAM, DORIS'S COUSIN, DANNY, PRINCESS PRESLEY,MOLLY'S HUSBAND,
JEAN, PATRICIA, MONTE, DONNA, CLIFFORD, KIMBERT,XASHEE, ALICE, THOMAS,
PENNIWIGS SON, LISA'S COUSINS BABY, NOAH, JONAH, ROBINS FATHER,
JOHN, GLORIA,TOM, MIKE, MICHAEL,TERRY

Yesterday was such a sad day for all. Seems like we've had too much saddness lately and really need to thank the Lord for both of these people and their creativity.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, I did take a huge gulp about spending so much money on a soup tureen, but I do so love it, and if I'm a really good girl and really thrifty, then it will be ok, I hope. My DH says I'm silly, but spending that kind of money on something mostly decorative because I can't imagine that I would ever really put soup in it, is just very extravagant for me and not something I would normally ever do. You mentioned that I met your sister. Who is your sister. I just recently found 2 bloggers that live in Az. I'm excited to find some in my area. Let me know who she is. Still praying for Amy and Leila. I know the Lord has them both tightly in his arms. Hugs, Marty
Dear God in Heaven hear our prayer for this family ... they need to be lifted in joy & healing. May His spirit & hand touch Amy, & all those that need to be healed.

Hi Debbie,
ReplyDeleteLife sure does have its mountain tops and valleys. Anyone living with cancer is sure to find themselves in the valley a lot. But our God is there and He will never leave us. {I had a cancer scare about six years ago but it turned out to be benign.}
My life has actually only been touched by cancer once, and that was when my best friend was diagnosed with breast cancer. Sadly, she passed away many years ago now, but I still miss her terribly! Life has never been the same!
So, I feel your pain, and I will remember your Amy. I pray the Lord will pour out His healing power upon Amy and grant you both grace and strength to withstand whatever comes. Grace and peace to you and your loved ones.
Blessings,
Sandi
My Dear Sweet Sister:
ReplyDeleteI love your post this morning. It is absolutely beautiful. You wrote a beautiful message about Farrah. She and Ryan always were the "The Love Story". It's funny how we always have the same thoughts. Our precious Amy has many birthdays to come and this trial is just that another trial to win, and win we shall. Our chain of prayer has pulled us through this far and it shall see us through to the end. I love you dear sister. Can't wait to see your Saturday Post. Stop by tomorrow and say "Hi". Your tea pot is going out today. "Country Hugs and Kisses". Your Sister, Sherry
Debbie, My love is being sent to you and to Amy. Can you feel my hugs? My heart is aching for all of you. I am praying. I will continue to pray. laurie
ReplyDeleteSad news of Farrah, but now she is at peace and I have no doubt she is in a happier place, the fight is over and she WON because now she is with God. But it leaves a gap for those temporarily left behind. What a friend she had in Alana!
ReplyDeleteWell this is upsetting news that Amy is having such pain and that the doctors suddenly pulled the rug right out from under everyone's feet and now Amy is staring that test in the face again and facing more surgery. Unfair, unfair, unfair, but she is a fighter and as they were wrong about the mass, they would also be wrong to underestimate her fighting spirit and ability to beat cancer.
How rotten to have to drive there and face all of that on her upcoming birthday.
By the way, I have NEVER heard a single whine come out of you, and if anyone had earned the right to whine, it would be you, you have faced this heartbreak with faith and fight and there is not a danged thing wrong with sharing your feelings of sadness, fear and frustration! That is hardly whining my dear!
As always, keeping you and Amy in my thoughts and prayers.
I really do know the ups and downs and I'm so sorry you and your sweet Amy are going through this!! You and Amy are ini my prayers daily!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Lisa
Joining with you in prayer continuously. I shared the praise report with my mom and sisters - and now I'll ask everyone to continue praying! God is faithful and just and His perfected will shall be done, in Jesus' Name. Standing with You in Agreement for Jeremiah 30:17!!
ReplyDeleteOh Debbie, I'm so sorry you've gotten such rotten news. Sometimes I'm sure you just want to ask Why ME? I guess you have no choice, so you move forward, one step at a time. I'll be praying for you and your family, hoping you make it through this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteYes I blog know your sister Sherry. I will definately pay for your precious AMY. You remind me of my own mother when my sister was sick with cancer. They only had one chemodrug in 1972 when my sister was sick and of course radiation. She might have made it in this day and age. Part of my terrible struggle with it was I was the nurse for her doctor and did all her lab work and x-rays and he did not tell her how sick she was. I was the only one in the family who knew. It was hard. Thanks for stopping by. Blessings

Debbie, what a rollercoaster week it has been for you and your family. I'm sorry to read the latest update on your dd. There are lots of us out here praying for you all. Please keep updating--and know that even if I don't get around to see you as often as I'd like you're not forgotten☺
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the very kind words on my photo blog. I'm thrilled to have you as a follower. :-)
Am I reading your blog correctly, that your daughter has cancer? Like you adding my Dad to your prayer list, I shall add your daughter (and you)to mine. I am just now learning of cancer's awful, all-consuming reach and am beyond myself with disbelief.
God bless!
