Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsToday is my B-day. I ask all of you for what I need....please.
It's not about me.
I have a beloved friend in rehab now....
My only wish is to hear her voice again.
We are kindred spirits....I love her.
Will you all please keep her in your thoughts and prayers tonight....
She has lost her ability to speak....
L is a young woman who had a cancerous brain tumor removed when she was only three-years-old. She is disabled...but is a happy and beautiful shining star....through many eyes. Tragedy struck once again...she fell ill.....I've only seen her once since her hospitalization....
She is weak...motor skills have failed....
When I walked into her room .... her mother was feeding her.
I tried not to cry.
L was tired...visit was brief...she was not very responsive.
Her mother led her to bed and covered her to her chin...L is always cold.
When I went to her bedside...(she can only use one hand) ...she pulled her hand out from the covers to hold mine.
My birthday wish....to hear my beloved friend's voice again.
I want her to get well....I don't know her prognosis...
Please keep her in your thoughts....she is all I've been thinking of....
I plead for prayers...light and love sent her way....a thought...many healing thoughts...
All that you can muster.
For this, I will give heartfelt thanks.
Sweet dreams my beautiful friend....
My wish today is for you to awaken with your voice....your words...
Your health...
I want you back the way we were.....
And will forever be your friend.
peace and love to all...

I had to share this...
Some things we can't do alone...
Healing light and energy and prayers from all of us are what she needs...

Dystopian
(6,421 posts)Greatly appreciated...
It's so difficult when the medical profession can't figure out what is wrong....
She has seen the best of the best....and evals sent to Boston.
So the PT...and everything involved in rehab is all they can do...
You understand....
Again...heartfelt thanks...
I do believe.
peace~

Sweet... respectful Happy Birthday
Thank you for acknowledging so very appropriately....
Some birthdays are wonderful....we own them... others filled with thoughts of things of which we have no control....
In time ... L will know of the love light sent her way...
And so I thank you...

Dystopian
(6,421 posts)L came into my life in a way that I can't explain...
She is a kindred spirit...
Sometimes people come into our lives for a reason....
Yes...as I prepare myself..I hang on to a thread of hope.
Hope is all we have at this time....and I am hanging on to it with all the strength I have...
Thank you for the vibes...
And so you see....the vibes and a possible explanation and recovery are all that I can think of...
And I know her family is doing the best they can.....keeping faith and hope....
As her mother continues to ask for prayers....I am spreading it here....
For L ...for her and the family....
Thank you for vibes.......touches my heart...and becomes a part of the universe...
peace~

(6,421 posts)Thank you for hugs and best wishes.... thoughts...
I do believe that the wave of energy sent to my sweet friend L will lift her spirits.
She is a fighter....a very strong young woman...
She was vibrant... and wish with all my heart to see her return to who she is....
And she is a light in the dark....
The world needs her... and more people like her.
The way it is....

(6,421 posts)Your thoughts...words...vibes..much appreciated.
I am sorry that I stopped short in this thread...
It's been difficult...I wish that I could be stronger...
L is still in rehab...slight...ever so slight progress....
But as long as others are thinking of her....
There is the power of healing light....
I believe...and so I give you my heartfelt thanks..
My appreciation for thoughts of her mother also...
I don't know how she can deal with this...
But she is.

(55,014 posts)do we really share this day? after all this time at DU I did not remember this. Happy Birthday. Thankyou for that reminder that there are real and important things in the world. I hope for peace and comfort for L.
Dystopian
(6,421 posts)We share the same day....
And yet I still wonder why I'm older than you....
I hope your day was wonderful....
Heartfelt thanks ....L needs peace and comfort....
I can't imagine being aware.....getting speech therapy...not speaking.
But she is smiling and laughing...remembering good times...
Yes...there are things so much more important than the trivial things that often get people down.
It's difficult to stop and think at times how fortunate we really are...
Thank you for your kind words and thoughts..
Please continue to keep her in your thoughts..
She needs us all...
In real life...and the unknowns whose thoughts find their way to her...
And in turn...become a part of her...

Please continue to keep her in your thoughts...
It's going to be a long road...and no one knows the outcome.
I'm trying so hard to stay positive...
If only I could relate it all....
Thank you once again...
peace~

(6,421 posts)Dear Ones
I'm so very sorry I had to leave this thread for a while.
I will get back to each of you tonight.
Thank you for your thoughts and outpouring of love for my friend L.
Today is her BIRTHDAY!
I am on my way out to visit her...
She loves anime....so bought some special gifts for her.
Sadly....there is not much improvement...if any.
Although she is very slowly regaining her strength and mobility...
She can't speak.
Last time I saw her...she smiled and laughed.
Once again....reached out for my hand.
Please keep your thoughts and prayers with her...
I'm trying to keep faith..
She needs all the healing light she can get....
From us all.....
L needs to find her voice again...and I am still praying.
This should never have happened....
That is the most tragic thing of all.
She is still in a rehab facility.
Happy Birthday my dear friend....
You came into my world for a reason.
Heartfelt thanks
peace and love to you all~
A very Happy Birthday to you and your dear friend.
I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers. You said that she is very slowly regaining her strength and mobility. That is a little flame of hope and healing. It needs to be fanned so that it will grow.
Never lose hope.
Sincerely,
Laura
