The Ever Rushing Stream

Written by Morgan

The River of Time

It has been some while and I know some of you may be wondering what happened to me. Where have I been? What is going on? Never fear, I am still here. Life threw me a vicious curve and knocked me off my feet, but I’m in the process of brushing myself off and getting back up. Your notes of concern and friendship, your prayers and hugs and the positive energy streaming in my direction have been and continue to be a great Comfort and beacon of Hope.

THANK YOU EVER SO~

Not to go into too great detail, but so you are more aware, should you care to be, the sad news I (we- as in, my family) received last week is that my mother has advanced Leukemia. Time is precious (more so than usual) and friends and family have been stopping by. So, I have been dealing with this new reality and struggling to put my Faith forward, in spite of it all, Trusting.

Life moves on, like the ever rushing stream (as my poem this morning expresses). I find my thoughts twisting from shadows to bright ribbons of light, and I have been contemplating many things we all rather not consider. So my poetry/posts may be few and far between, my comments lacking, my responses delayed….I am sorry. This too shall pass and the Blessing of prolific words shall return. Until then, be patient with me, Sweet Friends; I shall make every effort to continue onward.

~Morgan~

      1. It is extremely powerful. *Hugs* I’m here if you need me for anything at all. lisaoja@gmail.com. 🙂 My mother had ovarian cancer. I can probably answer questions and help be part of your support team.

      2. Thank You Lisa 🙂 Truly!! It sounds so flat, but I mean it heartfelt 😉 There are no words to adequately express the amazement of the heart to find so many friends reaching out. It means far more than I can say.

  7. Keeping your mom, you & your family in my prayers….it’s rough when we’re faced with life’s realities but having friends and family near us is what makes us strong. Know we’ll always be here for you and when the words are ready to flow, they will. Take time to be where and with whom you need to be xo

  16. My thoughts and prayers are with you. My dad died of leukemia 27 years ago. He was a printer and for years (before they knew better) had cleaned the presses bare-handed with chemicals that they now know are carcinogens. We were fortunate in a way that he did not suffer long. His death was unexpected, and he was only 68. I will keep praying for you and your Mom.

    1. Thank You so much Ste J 😉 I am good one moment and then not so the next and it may be this way for some while., who knows. For myself and my own spirit, I am trying to post at least once a day, something uplifting, to remind myself, if no one else, that Hope Abides. Maybe that is just may way of keeping a “stiff upper lip” though.

      It is always so nice to know that friends are here to talk to, should I need 🙂 Thank You!

      1. Yes, if you need anything, feel free to drop me a Stemail my friend.

        You keep a stiff upper lip like a true Brit and just take it one moment at a time and you will work through it. All the best people are here which is handy for you!

      2. I do appreciate that Ste J.. its nice to know there are “shoulders” there should I need one.

        It is indeed handy. Friendship is a true Blessing, whether it is in person or in electronic form ( in most cases!) and the support and friendship I have been graced by is…indescribable.
