Omg I Was Able To Get On Hipforums

2004 to 2009 mostly

probably even before that but i wasnt around myself until 2008

 

Good luck, Trish! I hope everything turns out for you. It broke my heart reading this...I hope you are ok...

 

I think it's very healthy to not define yourself solely as a "mother." It's normal to be a whole person, but seems like we put a lot of pressure on parents to identify themselves only as parents. When did that happen, and when did we start hating on people for being more than just a part of their kids, instead of the other way around?

 

I will be thinking of you lady and sending good thoughts your way

 

In a thread where someone is fighting for their lives, I have no idea why there has to be negativity.

Trish, you and the kids will be in my thoughts and meditation. Hang in there and I hope you are home soon with your little ones.

Love ya!

 

Trish, my dear....thank goodness one of your good friends let me know you are now Adventuregirlx! I am sitting here flabbergasted that you are sicker, and fighting for your life. I wanted to dress that up and try to say it pretty but I know you would just want whatever stated plain and frankly.

You know I am a believer and I promise you I will be praying for you. I do NOT expect sickness to magically disappear (or not necessarily to do so) but I hope my thoughts and prayers will help you to find answers and strength.

I remember some of the funny threads and your witty answers....this is really so damn unfair and you are young with the 2 little ones.

I'm shaking my head at this...and will have to go outside and sit for a bit.

I know you know do NOT quit fighting...but its always good to have plans made.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

 

Keep fighting it. Like you said it's not over until it's over. I hope at least that you're not in pain.

 

Man, I had to come back to this thread again..mainly because I remember when you were posting here a lot as AT I really got the sense you are one of life's good people

And I feel like good people are so, so hard to find.

I don't know how much you remember of me but I do remember you for your kindness and fairness..even when people said unecessarily unfair and hateful stuff to you (as illustrated in this thread) you were always kind.

And I remember you posted of your son a lot..at the time I think you only had one child.

So I know you are a wonderful mom and my heart aches for you and your children.

I just hope once you make it back to HF and read this thread you'll know your kind heart did not go unnoticed: ) and I just know you've passed the gift of kindness onto your children as well.

 

I'd like to applaud the "fight it" sentiment, while at the same time suggesting that there's more than one way to beat cancer.

We usually think of beating cancer as sending it into remission. Often, that's done with harsh chemotherapy and radiation. That can be a legitimate way to beat cancer in some cases, and despite the harshness of the treatments, the right path.

With certain severe and advanced cases of cancer the success rate of chemo and radiation is much lower. People who get palliative care usually live longer and have better quality of life than those who go the chemo/radiation route, but doctor's all too often are reluctant to recommend that path for fear that it seems like giving up.

In my view, chemo/radiation is one way to try to beat cancer, but palliative care can also be a way to beat cancer. Focusing on getting as much quality of life as you can for as long as you can is sometimes the shrewdest way to beat cancer, the best way to fight it.

 

I'd say around 15 to 20 years ago.

 

I miss you AT- hang in there honey, I will be thinking about you. And I know what you mean, my daughter is my life too. Dont worry about mean people on here, there are actually some nice ones around. Keep us informed, love ya

 

I already sent you a message but what I didn't say is I'd love to talk to you, certainly don't have your number anymore but I remember some great conversations with you via phone and all those early 2000 messengers. I miss you and I'm sure you know to just ignore the haters. You have an amazing heart and I'm wishing you peace and healing.

 

This is really sad news to hear, you're such a good person. I'll be sending positive thoughts your way. I'm sure you got this though, you're a fighter!

 

Dear Trish -

I hope nothing but the best for you and for your children. Sending you much strength and love throughout this time.

 

As I start to type, I hope AT/ Girlx reads each of these with a smile. Fuck the stupid shit.

Right? .

Damnation if I know wth would be going through my mind...but it would be to learn or strive or whatever to Live.

When its your time, its your time. I might go tomorrow when I take Mama to get her glass frames and the grocery store. Lord only knows wtf will go down when we get in public. Anyway...you never know.

Sometimes we are afforded time to know the next phase is coming soon...and we're able to prepare ourselves and our children for probable possibilities.

Sometimes it happens with a zip.

You may write a book about the experiences you are going through, and fixing to face. In the meantime I'm visualizing you reading this and it helping...but I think this without pity. I almost have envy. lol



blessed be

 

don't really have words to say that don't pale in the light of your reality.
so sorry your vehicle has become damaged
if you decide to stick around, hope to converse with you again here soon, if not, I hope we meet again on the next twist of the spiral.


oh, and the trick to understanding karma is knowing that I am he as you are he and you are me and we are all together....we are all the same stuff in different manifestations, we are all mirrors.

 

Love you and miss you, Trish. Lots of healing thoughts from my side of the country.

 

Stress due to issues such as harboring bitterness has a way of putting the mind and body into an inflammatory state. Sometimes it seems to cause the body to literally rot from the inside out with diseases such as cancer. I've seen it happen to various people I've known who are no longer around. I don't like to see this happen and I'm not intending to be scornful about it. I hope everything goes ok with Trish.

 

Keeping my fingers crossed for your hasty recovery, AT. Hope to hear from you again in due time.
