FROM MY HEART

AUGUST 24, 2008

TO MY DEAR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. SOME OF YOU KNOW THAT I WAS 99% DIAGNOSED WITH OVARIAN CANCER 2 DAYS AGO AND THE PEOPLE WHO DONT, I AM SO SORRY YOU ARE HEARING ABOUT IT THIS WAY, YOU ARE SPECIAL TO ME BUT THIS HAS BEEN VERY OVERWHELMING TO ME. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SO MANY EMOTIONS FROM DISBELIEF TO TOTAL HOPELESSNESS TO THE FEELING I HAVE NOW, STRENGH AND PEACE AND A KNOWING THAT I AM IN GODS HANDS NOW. I ASKED MY MOTHER THE OTHER DAY WHILE I WAS TAKING A SHOWER IF I HAD CANCER. UNFORTUNATELY SHE SAID YES. SHE ALSO SAID THAT IT WOULD BE A TOUGH ROAD SWEETIE BUT YOU WILL LIVE A LONG LIFE. I CHECKED IN AGAIN TODAY AND SHE SAID SHE HAD BEEN SCARED AND THAT SHE MIGHT HAVE BEEN MISTAKEN AND IT MIGHT BE BENIGN. I AM GOING TO HOLD ON TO THIS AND TO THE LOVE FROM ALL OF YOU. I KNOW THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHAT TO DO OR SAY IN TIMES LIKE THESE BUT PLEASE FOLLOW YOUR HEART. IF YOU WANT TO CALL, COME OVER, PLAY GAMES, MAKE ME DINNER, HOLD ME, CRY WITH ME OR PRAY FOR ME I WILL CHERISH IT ALL.WE DO NOT NEED OUR PRIVACY AND IF WE DO WE WILL TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES. WE NEED TO BE WITH OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY, IT HELPS SO MUCH. PLEASE CHECK IN WITH DON, THIS IS SO INCREDABLY DIFFICULT FOR HIM AND MY CHILDREN. IM SO LUCKY TO HAVE THEM AND ALL OF YOU. I LOVE YOU, DEB I HAVE A BLOG IF YOU WANT TO CHECK IN ON IT FROM TIME TO TIME. I WILL WRITE WHEN I FIGURE IT OUT. WWW.DEBBRUCE.BLOGSPOT.COM
