He has always talked proudly about you and how you are the most rabid stones fan on the planet. Sounds like you are a tremendous battler! Keep thinking those positive thoughts and hopefully the energy you are saving by not talking can be focused in a curative manner. Miracles do happen! You gotta believe!Phil Patenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13831296839778139293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957495954643477819.post-13545146342035315272009-11-16T08:52:44.390-08:002009-11-16T08:52:44.390-08:00Oh, Honey....What a blow.

I think of the Garth Brooks song "The Dance". We never know how it is going to end, yet we still do the two step with our next partner. I don't know if you get this...but the issue here is that it is ok to talk about what ever path you decide to take; and you never know what is around each corner. Be prepared. Know what is right for you. Talk with people who are not afraid to talk with you about issues like what you are faced with. I am here should you want to dialogue.

Thank you to everyone who posted here, left a comment on Facebook, or sent me email or a text message today to wish me well. This afternoon, I learned that a friend asked her mom to "get the Franciscans on the job." She said that once the request gets out there, "an army of radical, nutty, protesting, cussing, wine-drinking, civil-rights defending Franciscans will be praying" for my quick recovery. I feel I am in very good hands!<b>Paul Serchia</b>https://www.blogger.com/profile/10930656829100234753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957495954643477819.post-60605321151816315152009-11-13T16:07:43.625-08:002009-11-13T16:07:43.625-08:00Your blog entry has been weighing heavily on my he...Your blog entry has been weighing heavily on my heart all day. I think you are incredibly brave to be able to share so plainly what is going on and how you are feeling. I will, however wildly, have faith in positive outcomes, and while I can't say I have had much success with the prayer route, I'll give it a shot on your behalf.
