Facing my fears...

I wish I had the energy to write everything that is going on in my life, my heart, my brain... and my body. As you know, we are moving. What you may not know is that we leave here in a week. Oh, my heart is so broken to leave. I am not sad about leaving Dallas but I am despondent to leave all my loved ones here. You guys mean the WORLD to me and I will be leaving a part of my heart here with you.

I feel so driven to get settled in Michigan. I am craving calmness, woods and stability. I am running on nearly pure instinct and intuition. This is such a big deal. The house we live in now is so lovely. I always say that it wraps its arms around us every day when we come home. Our new home in Michigan will be full of love too...in no time at all. The kids will settle into their new schools, I will have my final months of treatment with a new doctor (whoever that will be...I do not know yet), we will have new vets for the animals, new grocery stores, new phone numbers..........too many changes to mention. Most important is that we will be near Megan, Molly, Marty and the boys, as well as my loving Michigan friends.

I have cried a river of tears already but I am so excited too.

God is at the wheel....or rather I am at the wheel but God is my GPS.

Thank you for your continued support of me and my family.
Much love,
Maureen

I can't imagine what it must be like to leave almost 20 years of roots in Texas, but Michigan can't wait to have you. Getting the red carpet ready now! Love you! --Janice.

Hi Maureen,

I am a friend of Sue Tornlof and when I was diagnosed with cervical and breast cancer, she suggested I check out what you and your family were doing for support. I have been so inspired by your blog and your courage and it gives me hope too that I can get through all this, whatever it is to come! So ever though you do not know me, thanks for that so much!

Your blog even inspired me to create one of my own which I have just started. It is MA Healing Journey on wordpress.com. The link is http://mahealingjourney.wordpress.com/

It will be nice to "virtually meet you!"

And thanks again for writing such an honest and courageous look at this whole process. It really really helped me get a grip and know I can get through mine too. Thanks so much for that!

Warmly,
Mary Anne Dorward
