Lord have mercy, tears are flowing... my heart aches for you. Your words always have a way of reaching out, grabbing the reader by the hand and just sharing a moment with them. I feel like I'm sitting right next to you as you share this memory, these thoughts, this heartache... memories of dandelion beds and mystical fairies with your girls but yet the heartwrenching moment of knowing that monsters creep around the corner and surprise you, things like cancer. Oh, I'm crying again.

My dear Andrea I wished I could take that pain away. I have to agree it feels like I am sitting beside you and sharing memories. This poem had me totally captured and yes cancer will stop for nothing. You are a beautiful person and excellent mom and your children know that. As a mom I believe we blame ourselves I know I did when my oldest daughter had skin cancer. She was 13 at the time. I keep you in my thoughts and prayers and I am sending a big hug. If you ever want to talk I am here

Andrea, my heart hurts for you and your girls. You are a wonderful mom and you have given your girls the world. I love the fact you gave them a sense of wonder and enchantment , a belief in fairies and moonbeams. These other things can overtake us and cause the wonderment to cease. Hugs my friend-

Hugs to you, my sweet friend xx

Its surprising the magic that a mother can inspire in her children's imaginations. My mother used to tell me all sorts of magical tales when I was a child. My prayers are with you and your girls and I wish with all my heart that there was a magic that existed that could take away such dreadful conditions. Sending you warm hugs. Milly x
