My Wish......

Scott.Lee has given us a lot of challenges with this blog...a list of our favorite things...words to describe ourselves..coming up with pictures of head, animal sex and nipples...the alphabet game, but I have found this to be the hardest one of them all. I have listened to songs, I have read poetry, I have tried to put my own thoughts into words and nothing seems appropriate. All of us face challenges in our lives, each one different. This blog puts things into perspective. I wonder about how I will make it through the next 90 days til I can go home to see my family. I think of those of you who have children and the challenges and responsibilities you face and don't know how you handle it. And Deb, I pray for you every day...hoping that someone is listening and that my prayers are answered.

My wish, my hope and my dream for all of us is that one year from today, we will all be here...smiling...laughing...(having Scott.Lee recite the alphabet correctly) ..proving that in our own way, we are all survivors...that because of our own inner strengths and the support of the friendships we have formed here, we can accomplish what sometimes seems impossible.

I wish that I could cause the sun
To warm the world with love
Remove the clouds a moment
To reveal the stars above

I wish that I could wipe that tear
From the corner of your eye
Bring happiness for your sorrow
Bring a smile for your sigh

I wish that I could better things
Put hope within your heart
Make today the best you've had
Right from its' very start

I wish that I were able
To make your dream come true
I wish I could - I wish I could
Do all these things for you
