Hi folks

I know there are wise and compassionate folks on this site.

I also recognize that there are those who have lived through tough times..when just breathing was about all that you were up to.

I am hoping that all you wise people will list out ideas for supporting folks who are going through treatments or their families.  Of course, it doesn't have to be cancer treatments; however, I figure it is one of the more common scenarios that you might think of

Friends

It is with sad news that I share with you that BusyMom's Dad passed this morning.

She and the family were with him, and as she has indicated to me, it was a holy moment.

Many of the wondercafe community have walked with Busymom on-line, as her father rallied time & again from the stroke, and shared the ways they were communicating.  We have been blessed by her offering of her life stories to us.

Please keep the Busygang in your thoughts and prayers.

And the Tree of Life burst from my chest

     Longing to touch the world around

        Tearing through the soil of my flesh

   My heart hung like a fruit in harvest

         And although it was not yet mature

       I offered it to your request

          In desperation I water it with tears

As part of another thread, questions were posed, and presumptions were shared, that got me thinking to evangelicsm.

I am not someone who preaches about my faith, or invites people to church.  If I meet someone who is a Hindu, Moslem, then I am interested in understanding about their faith.  I ask questions to learn. 

Hello all

Per another thread, BusyMom asked that we let Namaste's friends know that she will be off-line for a bit.

She is in the hospital...and will write when she can.

I'm sure she will welcome your warm wishes.
