Update From Hell

Can you feel that huuuuge hug which is building up across the blog - I can. Lie back, take a deep breath and we're all there holding you and sending you every possible good vibe to keep your room full of light, your life full of sunshine, your heart full of hope and, oh what the hell - your glass full of Cloudy Bay!!!

I vote that all us bloggers unite tomorrow morning at around 7.30 a.m. and send Mo the biggest virtual hug we can - Linda you will have to put down your porridge spirtle and Rosy - hangover or no hangover after entertaining your team, get ready to focus; Fi put your spade down; Dad - pull your van into the side of the road...let's close our eyes and send double our normal quota of thoughts - from every corner .......... Leominster, Aboyne, Austria, Egypy, US, down under - everywhere xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Not too much longer I hope for you,just keep hanging in there, it must be hell and back. Try and remember those days when I used to flick v-signs at your car on the way upt to school. Unfortunately, quite a few people had the same car after you went abroad and it had become rather instinctive to just flick at probably very nice and well mannered people. I used to say sorry I thought you were Moira. Have sent you a card to the flat - the picture is of me and Neil getting the guttering on the house done. Russell will show you when it arrives. Keep that little window open, my love, not much longer my friend Janet Lane told me how her stepmother's daughter has had the same thing done and is doing very well. Hers was a year ago. Keep pulling that little smiley man's legs, head and neck that is what Jack (my son) does. Will be back again tomorrow to talk to you. Lots of love and kisses Carry.

Somwhere in the deep hinterland of an ever decreasing memory bank,someone said Strength comes from adversity,your strength you have shown us all,now you must lean on us all and allow us to try and take some of the burden,my love as a Father knows no bounds to all of you,family is togetherness and love.Go to it my precious Hobgoblin,take in those new bags of life,come through the tunnel of darkness,just like the real Royalscot,steam down the track and dont look back,lots of love I'll catch the 7.30 and we will all be there,love DADXXX

Keep being positive Mo. I know it must be hard - especially if you're trying to picture us! Met a 'friend' at the Co-op tonight who told me I was looking dreadful! Thanks I thought - a day at work followed by an hour of aerobics (at Tarland we teach by example!) and then find something for tea at the Co-op after 6 o'clock - no wonder I was looking crap!!
So dear Moira, picture us if you must, but we prefer to picture you fit and healthy as we know you will be soon. Keep up the fight petal!
Love and hugs (especially the one at 7.30 tomorrow)

Hi Moira,

You are doing brilliant. You are amazing.

Been away for Easter break - I took William (Callums friend) and all the kids were sick!!! Typical.
Back to school today.

Thinking about you - you don't realise how popular you are.

Breaks out hearts we missed your call,loved your voice on our answering machine,were here now so if in the night you need us call darlng,Dad.

Dear Moira,

You are almost there - just a bit more! I do hope that the American cells won't make you half American, wow, would that be something. But then again, could be worse - you could end up half Egyptian, lol. Love and hugs and lots of wonderful energy going your way, Mira in Cairo

Todays the day my dearest friend, a fresh beginning. The children are all thinking of you and sending their hugs & kisses. Stay strong.....the final ascent......everyone is right behind you.....you can do this......you know it's all there in your heart.

Love you dearly, so much to look forward to

Sping has SPRUNG I think this is the best time in the year to have a transplant. The time is perfect for multipling!!
As for having American cells...Well I hope they are like a lot of wonderful Americans I have met, joyful and fun loving and completly dotty.........

Ps I have to give Russell a big compliment...I did not think that there was another man in the world as wonderful as my darling Kerr. Russell you are on a par!

G'day Moira

Count me in for the group hug - lots of warm vibes and postive wishes winging their way from NZ.

Jane

Always thinking of you Moira and sending more energy from here, have new PC equipment and now on broadband so lots more goes down the wires I think.
We're all joining in together in one big push up that mountain, you with your new cells will be soaring to the top.
Big hugs and all Love to you both
and happy birthday Ross
Mum and Dad S

I couldn't cross more things if I tried.

No, actually I can.

The Bassett Hound can spend the night with his ears tied together.

So Mojo's thinking of you, too.

Mo & Russ

Rooting for you both...

Like everyone else I feel so far away and yet so close...
That was a good hug this morning - we could all do with more hugs (virtual or real I'm not fussy...)...

You'll be relieved to know the team dinner was a hit..the house was tidy when I got home, the boys took coats, cleared plates and read geography revision notes to my bemused guests!... and I didn't poison anyone!

Today's picture is of microscopic American guided missiles or maybe even nanno-bots (how trendy is that!) zooming through your system to your bone marrow... right on target, so direct...
zap! pow!
and
they will be in there...

Todays poem...hopefully it's not a repeat (attributed to Mother Tereasa)

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is a beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is costly, care for it.
Life is wealth, keep it.
Life is love, enjoy it.
Life is a mystery, know it.
Life is a promise, fulfil it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it!


...I know you will...

All my love (from my infite love pie) is going your way...

Hi Moira,

We are joining in the big hug too. Thinking of you loads and loads love Just, Trev, Jenny and Charlie XXXX

Hi Mo, Russ, and the boys
Just to add to Clare's note of earlier having chatted to Aine... we're thinking of all of you all the time and got so many things crossed so hard our boys are in danger of lapsing into falsetto!

It seems so long since I dropped in on you, and at last the big step has been crossed, just hope the cells are starting to do their stuff as planned, and that you are managing to get at least a little peace and rest...

Hopefully it won't be too long before the sunny Moira smile that we all love so much will soon be firmly in place again as the Yanks win the most important of all battles. At least you can see that you've got allies on just about every continent through this blog!

Looking forward to dropping in on you again as soon as you are strong enough....

Humungeroonous amounts of love from the Dowally dudes.
Mark

Dear Moira,

we are helping with all our might to push you through this tricky (to say the least) time!

We would like to join the huge hug... it's getting bigger by the minute. I know you would hug us all back too if you could....save it for later.

Love Lisa , Angus and the girls in Cairo.

Hi Moira I've been following your progress for weeks, but never been brave enough to join in til now. I have visions of millions of little cells rushing around iside you and as they tumble over each other to reach the best bits of you they call out to each other as only cells can, Yipee, a new body, lets take over and multiply! There are a few comic strip zaps and pows as well as they smother and kill any badies still lurking. I'm sending a poem too,I found it on a card in the library last year, its now a book mark, and I think of you(and me and a few other friends as well) as I read it and it makes me giggle to think of us. I love getting out on the dance floor And shaking my bum for a laugh But sometimes I just want a quiet night in With a jolly good book in the bath! Thinking of you often, love Joss

Dear Moira
How lovely to be with you yesterday on day of days, day of cells and bells and day of Ross- the big fellah. You are doing wonderfully wonderfully well. You are so strong!
Sitting here with Elliott next to me on the other computer, busy on msn.....no, my mistake, I mean busy revising Chemistry! Fred and Will also frantic with GCSE and A Level preparation, for which read....'music downloading, surf talk and ebay purchasing' No, fear not, I'm pulling your leg- there is some seroius application going on here too, in the Herefordshire inner sanctum of high academia..
Thinking with you every minute and here, because I know you love these e e cummings, is another ...all our love ken, amanda and all the lads xxxxx

may my heart always be open to little
birds who are the secrets of living
whatever they sing is better than to know
and if men should not hear them men are old

may my mind stroll about hungry
and fearless and thirsty and supple
and even if it's sunday may i be wrong
for whenever men are right they are not young

and may myself do nothing usefully
and love yourself so more than truly
there's never been quite such a fool who could fail
pulling all the sky over him with one smile

Day 1.....
The fresh new beginning has begun, keep going missus you're doing a grand job!
Love always

Positive vibes coming from W21! Keep on with the visualisation. Those good cells are heading in to the bone marrow now and doing their funky thing. They are bound to be bossy Yank cells too! Channelling good vibes over to Kings - you are doing wonderfully!

Lots of love
Emma

Sending you love, hugs and positive vibes to see you through this tunnel and out the other side.

Tuia te rangi e tu iho nei
Tuia te papa e takoto nei.

Join sky above
to earth below,
just as people join together.

I hope you like this Maori poem about depending on each other - it seemed to fit the moment! We are all holding you tight!!
(if you feel up to a massage before going back to Kings ... then just call me!) LOL Jux

Moira et al,
Hang on in there and be buoyed up with all the thoughts winging your way. Here's a little more of the blue sky from Deeside, with the hills & trees to have in your mind when you want something different to look at.
Lots & lots of love & hugs from the Graham crowd, including the very huggy dog!!

Moira: Such a moving story, the trials you are going through. I applaud your strength. Thinking of you and your family across the ocean in Nova Scotia, Canada. Many thoughts and prayers are with you.
