[quote:Anonymous Coward 78232281:MV80MjQxOTg1Xzc5MTE4MDc2X0M5NjEyQTQ2] [quote:Lance Roseman From BC:MV80MjQxOTg1Xzc5MTA3ODY2X0JCNkE3MzU5] [quote:Anonymous Coward 78232281:MV80MjQxOTg1Xzc5MTA2NDQxX0E2OUUxQTc5] Now I get it. I am not sure why I didn't get it before, I used to have many friends on GLP, then I left for a few years. Since I started coming back again, rather than find the community again, I allowed a few represent the many and fulfilled my lowest expectations of the world, and the community. What a gift she gave to all of you, what a gift you gave to her. I am about to cry again. Without even realizing it you have all given me a gift. I often wondered over the last few months about the unfortunate timing of her post. How anyone would even read it with so much happening ...I was looking for hope, strength, guidance something to remind me why I cared even about humanity. Little did I know in my cynical, jaded brain that here, hidden in this little thread...was the hope, acceptance, strength, love, and wisdom I have been searching for and never finding. The guidance. A gift. She wasn't looking for attention and all of the things I assumed... she was giving us a gift by simply sharing herself and her thoughts. I am sure most of you know this already... I just realized today, please excuse my intrusion, and please accept it. I am sorry to see that this beautiful human passed, but what a gift she left us. I am inspired, moved, and changed by what I read here this morning. How could I forget that people don't always post threads for attention, pity, trickery... For all of the mean spirited, negative energy that I find on GLP ...this beautiful human who I never met, and never spoke to chose to share this intimate time in her life with her friends on GLP... with strangers as well. I am sure I am not the only person who waited until now to finally read this thread. I did not remember that although there are so many trolls and mean people out there, there are beautiful people.. I can't recall a time I felt such energy in a thread. Sending love and thoughts toward her beautiful family who also brought tears to my eyes as I pictured their kind gestures of love and appreciation. That says so much about Monkey Flower in itself. This small thread, on a smallish forum, renewed my soul. Thank you all for being you. How wrong I was to be afraid to see the trolls here, mean comments, and whatever else I thought was actually going on in here. Not only was I wrong, I couldn't have been MORE wrong. My heart is filled...I am not sure how to feel about this emotion I am experiencing. Whatever I thought I knew about the world, about GLP... I am reminded again who I am and how beautiful humanity can be. [/quote] For you AC....not my Trad but hey...a very nice song none the less. Gayle touched a lot of us and there is hope, never doubt that. And perfect for today anyhow, don't get distracted by the trolls and shills, the spirit lives. God Bless you....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJFhHf-NjRg [/quote] Thank you :) [/quote]

Hello GLP friends
I began hospice care at home a few days ago. I am requesting prayers please so I can remain strong for my family and others I am close to. If anyone can give a bit of emotional support please, it is always very welcome as well.
If anyone would like, I can write about life with hospice as well, in this thread.
Also, one amazing wonderful friend here on GLP has been by my side on this journey for a while now. Much love and many hugs to that friend. Thank you! (You know who you are
