Free of body, free of soul, Part Four in this Holy Week

[rosywonder.livejournal.com]

I can hardly believe that Holy Week is upon us again, but it is, and this will be the last Holy Week we celebrate here, the last Holy Week my husband celebrates before retirement. So it is even more significant, more special than normal. In case I don't get the chance to say it, may I wish a very Happy Easter to all; may the joy of this season radiate among you!

It seems appropriate during this time then to ask for your thoughts, prayers, or whatever you can offer for my dear friend and a one time contributor to this on-line family, Suezeeque. Some of you may remember her, or may have met her when we spent those very amusing, nay riotous three days in New York a few years ago. She has been undergoing extensive treatment for cancer of the bowel and for a while things looked good. However, it now appears the cancer has returned, spreading to her liver. She is a life-affirming, fun-loving kind of girl and I know that she will be glad to know we are thinking of her. Jesu mercy, Mary pray.

Below, the link for Part Four of my story. Thank you so much to those who have manfully struggled through the last three parts and have posted their comments. Much appreciated.

I have meant to ask you about Sue earlier, so thank you for the update. Please let her know I'm thinking of her, praying for the best.
Thanks for posting the story.

Thanks - I hope that this season brings peace and a sense of joy to you too.

She will appreciate that. I will keep everyone posted as to her progress. Hope you'll enjoy the story too!

I certainly can relate to this since I have precisely the same illness now (though in a very limited area and looking good after the surgery, but who knows?). I'll pray for your friend. A friend of mine had it years ago and is fine now. Keep hope. This life is just a passage to a better place but I'm in no hurry to get through...

I know that she would value your prayers and I will pass your comments. You are right, there is an eternal perspective to all this, but I for one am praying that her time wont be up yet. We owe our friendship to this community but it has become more than that now and we have had some great times together. She is such a life affirming person; to be horribly selfish I am not ready to lose her yet.
