My mom had her surgery last night,
and things are still very precarious as we speak.
The extent of the cancer was widespread, and the future
is uncertain and daunting to say the least.
Without my faith and your prayers, I would have
fallen apart a long time ago.
So thank you...so inadequate
but that says it all.
Hug someone you love today...
Call your mom...
Don't take the gift of time for granted.
With love,
Anne

Prayers for you, your mom, your family and those who are caring for your mom. A very tough time for all of you. With love.

I've been thinking of you Anne. I know this is a very difficult time and I pray that your faith will sustain you.
hugs
Sissie
Every day is a to cherish. Cancer is something that can be overwhelming and rob something from you.
My prayers are with you, there is nothing harder that watching a parent struggle with this disease.
My prayers are with you, your family and your dear mother during this very difficult time.
that is the best advice ever....I really don't think people understand it! prayers always!
Anne, I just want you to know that my heart and prayers are with you and your family. I throughly understand what you are going through, but I am a firm believer that prayers help us to have the strength to get us through some of the toughest things that we have to do in our life. They have come a long ways in what they can do now. Take care my friend. Your Missouri Friend.
Oh my precious friend, I will continue to pray for healing! Prayers and hugs from my heart to yours!
My mom is having her 2nd treatment for breast cancer tomorrow. Her hair began falling out today. Can't imagine going this road without the Hand of God leading us. I am so thankful that when we are weak, He is strong!!! God bless you and your precious mama.
Praying for ALL...Healing, Strenght and Peace.
Warmly,
deb
Keeping you and your mom in our thoughts and prayers.
Patty

Sending good thoughts and prayers to you

Maggie
Anne,
Prayers and hugs for you.:)
Sherry
Dear Anne,
I am praying for your mother, for you and your family.
May the Lord hold you all in his loving and comforting arms.
love is all around you...
Susan
Sending lots of hugs and prayers for both. I hope Mom puts up a fight and pray the doctors have worked a miracle for her. xoxo
You and your Mom are in my thoughts and prayers for a quick recovery so you have many more days to hug her:-)
Take care Anne,
Kathleen
praying for you.
Surely God is my salvation;
I will trust and not be afraid.
The Lord, the Lord is my strength and my song;
he has become my salvation.
Isaiah 12:2
Anne, we serve a good and gracious God! My prayers are out to your mother. Take heart and keep the faith!
Anne, We are lifting up prayers for your mom's recovery and future health, and also for you as you walk with her through this battle...
Prayers go out to your mom and you for strength, peace and healing.
Danielle
Continued prayers for you, your mom and your family.
Jane
You are in my thoughts....may you find comfort in the support of your friends & everyone here in blogwold
Joining you in prayer...
Continued Thoughts & Prayers, for both You & your Mom~
I know it is such a difficult thing to have Your Parent be the one in Need...
xox
Cheryl
love ya, I've been checking on you on Facebook. big hugs
Oh sweet Anne.....You and your mom are in my thoughts and prayers. I know you are a woman of strong faith.....and a strong faith is needed in times like these.
Hugs,
Jo
Prayers from Idaho coming your way...
~Trisha
Anne I am so sorry and I continue to pray for you and your Mother. Sending big hugs. Linda
Thinking of you!
Praying...
Vanessa
Prayer is powerful! Prayers for your mom!
Hi Sweet one, will continue to pray for your mom. Thank you for the updates. I really appreciate them.
Blessings and hugs from me to you.
Debbie
Prayers for your mom and you. Hugs!
I will be praying for you and your Mom tonight. It is so hard...I know.
Take care.
Anne, my prayers go out to your Mother, thank God she has you ...thinking of you in these hard times...
Anne,
I'll be praying for you, your mom, and your whole family. May you be encouraging and strong for her, and may your husband be for you. Love you! xo
Praying for you and your mom. Take care of yourself. May the peace of the Lord be with you.
Oh Anne, prayers are pouring your way and to your mom. God has this and will take care of you both. Being a nurse, I see daily how cancer tears into a family's life and makes the strongest, most faithful people question their faith. But I have also seen the flip side to that where faith and courage and the power of prayer and God turn even the most dismal of prognosis around. Hang in there sweetie and know you are loved by many and your mom is being lifted up by us all.
~hugs~ and prayers xo Rachel
Oh dear Anne I am so sorry to hear about your Mom...spend every second you can with her...tell her you love her over and over...I am thinking of you,much love Chrissy

I am sorry to hear about your mom. I am sorry that you have to go through this, mom's are so special. My heart to you and your family.
Sometimes it feels like the whole world is on fire. Keep praying, most especially for mom's comfort. This is a huge cross to carry.
regards, andrea @ townandprairie
I will say some Hail Mary prayers especially for you and your Mom, Anne. Our Blessed Mother knows your heartache.
xo,
Susan
You and your Mom will be in my thoughts and prayers dear anne. I know your heart ache...truly. thinking of you....
Continuing to pray. I remember hearing those words of cancer about my dad and the lump that welled up so inside. Yet those last 18 months were precious and eternal and longer then any dr expected.
Your mother's every breath is from the Lord- she is in good hands.
bee blessed
mary
hugs for all of you and sending special prayers up
i am so sorry to hear about your mom, anne. i will keep her in my prayers. hugs to you.
Anne....I have been where you are right now. My mom's cancer was pretty wide spread. (ovarian) but even when she got it in her early 80's she did well with surgery and chemo. Keep the faith Anne....sending lots of prayers you way! ~Hugs, Patti
I will continue to pray, Anne! God will give you the strength to go through all of this.
Blessings,
Shelia ;)
Oh how my heart goes out to you.
You must be all over the place.
I am wishing you and your mother the best.
May she be comfortable in what ever takes place.
Stay strong.

I am currently going thru personal health issues and have my mother also slowly failing..I will send you prayers of strength, and love your way. and remember sometimes things that look bleak have a way of turning around. Marlene
Thinking of you , and praying for your mom .
I am keeping you all in my prayers, Anne, for healing, strength, comfort, and peace...XO
dear anne.. you and your precious mama are in my prayers!!
So very sorry to hear this Anne. Sending lots of love and prayers for your mom. Great advice to hug someone who is dear to you, and do it today. Just lost a dear friend, 81 going on 50, talented, vibrant artist. So hard to say goodbye.
Hugs, Riki
Like so many of the others commenting, I've been through this too...God is so good to give His peace when you think you can't handle a situation. I'm praying for you both as you rest in His sweet care.
Dear Anne, I just stopped in to check on you and your mom, your both still very much in my prayers.
When praying for you this is the passage I turned to:
Psalms 18:31-33
For who is God except the Lord?
Who but our God is a solid rock?
God arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect.
He makes me as surefooted as a deer, enabling me to stand on mountail heights.
I'm praying that you find strength in our Lord and his word.
Love and warmest hugs...Tracy
Hugs and prayers to you, Anne xoxo
Hugs and prayers for you darling....love love love ....xxx...
Such hard times. Please know I understand, and will keep you and your precious mom in my prayers.
Anne I am still praying for you and your mom.
Anne, you and your mother are in my thoughts and prayers. As you know, my mom is very fragile as well, so I have a very good idea of what you are going through. Blessings, strength and peace to you, my friend.

Claudia
I pray that you and your mom will be given the strength to deal with whatever the future holds.
I will say a prayer for all of you.......hugs......
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your Mom. I have been there Anne...stay strong.

Sandi
Anne,
It's hard to stay strong and focused when it's our mothers...believe me...I know.
You can only do what you can do. Everything is in God's hands and has been from the start. Hebrews 11:1 was the verse I clung to during Bella's early days. I hope it will help you too.
Standing in the gap.
Deb
Praying for you and your mom. I've been in your shoes...it's time to lean on those who love you :) And trust God. Thinking of you always through this...
You must be such a comfort to your Mother right now, just to have you with her. God bless you both, you're in my prayers Anne. Sending hugs. xoxo ~Lili
My heart is heavy reading about your mom this morning! My mom passed almost 9 years ago and some days it feels like it was yesterday. It is never easy dealing with a loved one that is sick. I hope things go the way they are suppose to and you find guidance from the big guy upstairs!
Prayers and hugs to you!

Anne, this song came to my mind this morning as I read your post. I hope it's okay to share it with you here.
"I was sure by now that You would have reached down and wiped our tears away,stepped in and saved the day But once again, I say, Amen and it's still raining
And I'll praise You in this storm and I will lift my hands For You are who You are no matter where I am and every tear I've cried You hold in Your hand You never left my side and though my heart is torn I will praise You in this storm
I remember when I stumbled in the wind You heard my cry, You raised me up again But my strength is almost gone how can I carry on if I can't find You
I lift my eyes unto the hills where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth..."
I know you are in the midst of a storm that seems endless, but know that we are out here adding our voices to your prayers for your Mom. Keep your eyes lifted up...He holds your mom in the palm of His hand! Love you!
Heather

..sometimes God calms the storm,
and sometimes He allows the storm to rage, and calms His child. I stitch these words in samplers. They often comfort me.
I pray for your storm to calm, I pray for Him to calm His child. You and your mother are my last thoughts before sleep overtakes me. May you be comforted by the love and thoughts of all of us who surround you.
praying for you and yours. I understand what you feel like having gone through something similiar with both my parents. Every moment we have is very precious.
Take care of yourself as well during this very hard time.

I feel like I should write something but don't know what. I have no words of wisdom or magical cures. I have lost many people to cancer but have also had loved ones beat it. I pray God gives your Mother the strength to get through the treatments and you the strength to hold up. Peace be with you.
