Dorothy... aka LACE!!

        Hmmm where do I start!! Why did I do this page?? I guess I had nothing better to do!! Honestly, I wanted a living memorial for my family. It helps in the healing process to do this too! and much cheaper than a shrink!!! :)

        As you will see on my pages to my Dad/Mom/Sister they have all passed away from cancer. Each of them had a different type of cancer, none-the-less, it took them all away from here. I think the most painful thing in the world is watching someone slowly pass away. It eats at your heart... slowly... bit by bit. But, you know what... as much hurt and pain I have had, I have found LOVE and have realized that "they" have given me something back!!

        I have lost three very dear people to me, but GAINED three wonderful children!! and an exceptional fiance!! Just when you think all the chips are down, a star comes barrelling from the sky!! When you loose someone close to you, you gain that much more respect and love for life... and my life has just begun!!! :) :)

        I hope you enjoy the pages, as they will be updated constantly (and NO, that doesn't mean any ADDITIONS to the MUNCHKINS!) :) Just that Jeff and I keep learning new things about doing this and are having fun playing around with it. It helps that he sits two feet away from me and we can just look at each other's screen to see who is doing what and ask for advice... and poke at each other!!!

        Thanks for stopping by my little place and I hope you leave here with a little something more in your heart!!!

        :) May GOD Bless each and every one of us!! :)

        NEW EDITION!!!!

        I am going to start a "journal" of sorts... it will be about what "currently" is going on.... things have somewhat changed drastically since I first did this page on February 1, 1998.

        February 5, 1998

        My brother Marc (last of my immediate family) was just diagnosed with Hodgkins Disease (Cancer of the Lymph Glands) We are not sure as of yet what treatment he will be undergoing, for they have to do another surgery to determine the staging of his cancer. My thoughts now... WELL... to be blunt, WHY?? Why is this happening again?? I've lost three people already from this dreadful disease, why does another have to go through this?? Why can't it be me?? Why Him?? Why any of us?? These are questions no one can answer... but MAN... we were raised to be such very good people, why does the bad things happen to the good ones? I wish I could say that I can't handle this, but know I have no choice but too! I have three beautiful kids to be strong for... but how do I explain to them what is going on? I guess this is where in life we "wing it" and I'm sure things will all work out... we just have to get over the bumps in the road. MARC.. if I could take this disease away from you, I would... this is so unfair... but WE ARE STRONG and will fight it once again!!! I LOVE YOU and hang in there big brother... we are fighting a Battle that we've fought before... BUT.. this time we will WIN!!!



        Marc, Allison and Me!
