XOXOXOXOXOXOXO...AMY...XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS
HAPPY FALL BABY GIRL
I DISCOVERED A NEW BLOG WHEN I WENT TO
THE BLOG OF TONY CURTIS. I HAD NO IDEA THIS
ACTOR WAS AN ARTIST AND HE WAS MORE PROUD
OF HIS ARTWORK THAN HIS ACTING. I ENJOYED
SEEING THE SLIDE SHOW OF HIS ARTWORK. I
THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING THERE WAS A
LOT OF WHIMSICAL CATS IN HIS PAINTINGS AND
OFTEN INCLUDED A GOLDFISH IN A BOWL.
I FOUND A COMMENT BY A LOVELY LADY NAMED KC.
HER BLOG IS:
THERE IS A WHOLE LOT OF HISTORY ABOUT THE
SILVER SCREEN ON HER BLOG.
SHE HAS A LOT OF QUOTES MADE BY ACTORS.
ONE I FOUND SO PROFOUND, I AM GOING TO
PUT IT ON MY ICEBOX.
CAN'T YOU JUST HEAR THAT JOHN WAYNE VOICE.
"TOMORROW IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN
LIFE. COMES INTO US AT MIDNIGHT VERY CLEAN.
IT'S PERFECT WHEN IT ARRIVES AND IT PUTS
ITSELF IN OUR HANDS. IT HOPES WE'VE LEARNED
SOMETHING FROM YESTERDAY."
~JOHN WAYNE
THANK YOU KC FOR YOUR BLOG.
I HAVE LEARNED A WHOLE LOT FROM YESTERDAY.
I KNOW I CAN COME TO THIS BLOG OR THE SIMPLY
DEBBIE BLOG AND I WILL FIND FRIENDSHIP, EN-
COURAGEMENT, CREATIVITY, AND SOMEONE WHO
WILL MAKE ME LAUGH, SOMEONE I CAN CRY WITH,
AND MOST OF ALL PRAY WITH.
I HAD THOUGHT AFTER AMY'S ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY
I WOULD CLOSE THIS BLOG BUT I WILL NOT. EVERY DAY
I RECEIVE AN E MAIL FROM SOMEONE THAT HAS A
LOVED ONE SUFFERING FROM CANCER. I HATE...HATE...
HATE...CANCER WITH A PASSION.
THIS BLOG IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. THERE
ARE VIVID DESCRIPTIONS OF AMY'S JOURNEY. PEOPLE
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. WE SURE WERE NOT TOLD
OF WHAT TO EXPECT AND THE EXTREME SUFFERING
SHE WOULD ENDURE. I THINK THAT MAY BE A REASON
IT HAS TAKEN SOOOOOOO VERY LONG TO HEAL FROM
HER GOING HOME TO JESUS.
GRIEF IS AN ODD THING. SOME FLY RIGHT THROUGH IT.
MR. SIMPLY AND I ARE NOT FLYING THROUGH IT.
THIS HAS BEEN THE HARDEST MONTH OF THIS ALMOST
ONE YEAR JOURNEY WITHOUT HER HERE ON EARTH.
I STILL CRY A LOT. I MOURN I NO LONGER HAVE A
DAUGHTER...IT IS A HUGE HOLE IN MY HEART AND MR.
SIMPLYS'. HER SCHNAUZER, BOOMER, WENT OVER THE
RAINBOW BRIDGE ON WEDNESDAY. I KNOW AMY GREETED
HIM. HE WAS OLD BUT SO YOUNG IN SPIRIT. IT WAS VERY
SAD. WE USE TO BABYSIT BOOMER WHEN AMY WORKED
OR WENT OUT OF TOWN. I TALKED TO RICHIE AND TOLD
HIM ABOUT BOOMER. HE LOVED HIM ALSO.
RICHARD LEFT LAST NIGHT WITH MEGAN'S RELATIVES
TO HELP MEGAN MOVE TO McPHERSON. RICHARD CAN'T
LIFT BUT HE WILL DRIVE THE TRUCK. WE ALL TEASED
RICHIE BECAUSE HE IS ALWAYS WORKING AND MISSES
THE EXCITEMENT OF MOVING. MEGAN IS SICK.
LUCKILY HER UNCLE THAT IS HELPING IN THE MOVE
IS A DR. I DON'T WANT RICHARD TO COME HOME
SICK. I HAVE HAD THE FLU SHOT BUT RICHARD
HAS NOT. I SUGGESTED MEGAN TAKE THE FLU
SHOT, SINCE SHE IS A TEACHER BUT HER FAMOUS
LAST WORDS WERE, "I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES!"
BOY HAS SHE TAKEN A RAZZING FROM THE
FAMILY.
MY OKLAHOMA STATE COWBOYS BEAT THE
RAGIN' CAJUNS LAST NIGHT 54-28. THEY ARE 5 AND
0. SORRY WE BEAT YOUR TEAM MIZ MOLLYE....
BUT WE HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR MANY YEARS FOR
OSU TO BE AS POPULAR AS OU. THERE ARE TWO
GREAT TEAMS IN OKLAHOMA.

Dear Debbie, Your journey with Amy touched so many people. I was thinking about her recently, as I remembered you telling how much she loved Halloween. I can't imagine your pain, and grief, and that through it all you have been able to keep writing and sharing -- that is a special mission indeed.
ReplyDeleteMy heart's with you, as are so many other hearts.
Peace be with you -- Cass
Hi Debbie,
ReplyDeleteStopping by to say hello. Thanks for all you shared with us today. Keeping those you mentioned in prayers, especially Leila. Hugs across the miles!
HOPE EVERYTHING IS GOING WELL MY FRIEND AND THAT RICHARD DOESN'T DAMAGE HIS BACK. HANG IN THERE, BE STRONG, BE WELL AND KNOW THAT GOD IS WALKING BESIDE YOU AS YOU GRIEVE......:-) HUGS
ReplyDeleteDEAR DEBBIE,
ReplyDeleteTHIS MUST BE A REALLY HARD TIME FOR YOU. LIFE GOES ON, BUT IT IS HARD WHEN YOU HAVE LOST SOMEONE - EACH DAY IS SO PAINFUL.
I PRAY FOR THE OTHERS AND FOR YOU - THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO HANDLE ONE DAY AT A TIME. AND GOD GIVES YOU SOME PEACE.
LOVE,
SANDIE
Howdy Sweet Debbie
ReplyDeleteThank you for your recent letter it came at a time when I was in a fog about to have a melt down of my own.
Your card were the hands holding on to the end of the rope for me until I could regain my strength .
I carried your letter to work with me and than at home I kept it on the kitchen table during the day . Currently it sits on my night stand about to move to the refridgerator or where ever it is needed.
God bless you Debbie for reaching out to me !
Thank you again for your special Angel .
You and your family have weighed so heavy on my heart as this October arrived ,but I just didn't seem to have the words to let you know how much your precious Amy Dawn was still leading and guiding all those who visit your blog to go forth in faith seeking out God's leading and the connections He desires to make in our lives through your blog.
I am so glad you have kept it open .
God will let you know when it is time for something else until that time May he continue to annoint your precious hands that you may hear and respond to the path he is showing you .
Blessings to you and Richard and all the rest of your dear family .
I will be praying for all the best for you and yours through the coming days of new growth and great changes.
Big Hugs from Texas
Remember you are loved !
Until next time
Happy Trails
Hello sweet Debbie! Thank you so much again for the beautiful card you sent me, I have a package with some pretty trim all ready to go for you! I pray for peace in your heart...for you and your family! Words cannot describe what you must be going through! I have your card in the sweetest spot in my kitchen and your generosity is beyond measure!
ReplyDeleteTight squishy hugs,
Olivia
Hi Debbie, Thanks for visiting my blog. Here's the answer to your question about the Happy Halloween Printable Banner instructions: I used 8 feet of 3/8" ribbon. You could use 1/8" too. A ribbon punch is just a hole punch that is shaped like a skinny rectangle. You can find one at Michael's or any craft store. So glad so many are enjoying it. I am working on a Thanksgiving printable and hope to have that up in the next week or so.

Hello Debbie, I noticed you haven't posted in a while. I use to follow you all the time and read about Amy during her fight to live. Hope everything is ok with you.

Blessings of love coming your way
