Ok where do I begin? Mother has had her operation and is recovering on loads of drugs. I limit my communication with her because in the first three days sounded out there and I'm sure she needed that just to deal with the pain. Spoke with her on Sunday while I was on my way to church, she sounded so much more like herself. No I don't have her locked up, she staying with Carolyn and her family, so that she could receive some peace and quite while making it through the first few days. Its almost like her and I were separated just so that we can both focus on things. She is in good hands, Dewayne was "Grandma" sitting on Thursday while Carolyn was at work. I did over hear him tell her to bend over it was time for a temperature reading HA HA. Everyone pray for a speedy recovery for mother, were starving HA HA! She is such a special person. Christmas is a little offset this year, this is no what we all needed. But we will survive!!!!!! I have taken some time off from work so I could take care of this speed lump of mine. I tried to focus and work but it didn't work out I'll return in February, with the economy so screwed up whats the difference, It was a wash for me I was only working 20 hours a week. I have had the second biopsy, they took five samples two from lympnodes and three lumps, one is already tested and was positive for cancer in November. They want to check and see if the others are clean,HOPE HOPE for good results, hopefully I will get good results on Monday the 22ND. The blood test gene marker test came back and was negative thank the LORD! At least this is not passed to my sisters and my daughters, I am thankful for that. The DR. asked that I make a appointment with the plastic surgeon and have set that appointment up for the 29 of December. When I meet with the Dr after the samples come back, she will decide on the route of surgery. If I have to remove my little friends, I will just adjust. I plan on sending my husband Chuck to the boo bee store, if he chooses double D's I will know he was never happy with the B's, boy he'll be caught in a lie. Just kidding..... He returned here Wednesday from AZ. It took him four days to get back normally it takes a day and a half. Boy was his a nervous wreck the weather was terrible. Then to come back and deal with all this stuff, hope the lord blesses him. The kids are doing ok. They are out for winter break and got an early start due to the 8" of snow we received. I should be making snow angels on Dad and Danielle's grave doesn't that sound fun? The holidays kinda are weird due to all the things going on. Enjoy this family photo getting it was like as they say pulling teeth. I should have spiked the punch with Prozac, HA HA. Will keep you posted. Lots of love Nancy We may not always realize
that every thing we do,
affects not only our lives,
but touches others, too.
For a little bit of thoughtfulness
that shows someone you care,
creates a ray of sunshine
for both of you to share.
Yes, every time you offer
someone a helping hand,
you show a friend,
you care and understand.
Every time you have
a kind and gentle word to give,
you help someone find beauty
in this precious life we live.
For happiness brings happiness
and loving ways bring love,
and giving is the treasure
that contentment is made of.
Thank you!

1924: The Ethics of Friendship
1924: The Ethics of Friendship
It is not enough to make friends; you must know how to keep them. When you make a new friend whose friendship you value and wish to keep, learn his idiosyncracies and respect them. Learn his little peculiarities of manner and bear with him. Force yourself to be conscious always of the fact that while he has faults of which you are aware, you have faults of which he is aware. The ideal friend overlooks these little things and looks only for the big.
Doubt and suspicion are fatal to friendship. A friend worth having is a friend worth trusting. In time of doubt there should be a frank explanation. A true friend will not listen to criticism from others regarding his friend; will never gossip about him; will protect him from slander; will refuse to hear or believe evil of him.
There should be absolute sincerity in friendship. If your friend has done something or said something of which you disapprove, go to him and talk to him about the matter. You are false to your friendship if you talk to others about it.
If you want to correct a friend for some mistake he has made, do so with all the grace and tact you would use in correcting a stranger. No one resents being corrected. It is the manner of the person who makes the correction that is usually resented. Your friend is certainly entitled to as much consideration as you show your acquaintances.
Too many of us feel that we can take liberties with our friends that we would not dare to take with strangers. Handle your friend's book as carefully as you would the book of a new acquaintance, more carefully than you would handle your own. Do not feel that because it is with your friend that you have an engagement that you can be half an hour late. Real friendship is founded on courtesy, kindness, and understanding.
