Day 11 for Linda and Day 12 for Marcus

Today is Thursday August 6, 2009
Linda, I got a phone call from one of your daughters early this morning while you were in the hospital room taking your chemo. She told me that you had asked her to call me and to say hello to me for you since you are not able to call me on the phone because you are too sick and fatigued to talk. It was so good to hear from her and from you even if it had to be through her.

I miss talking to you so much, but I totally understand Linda that you are not able to talk on the phone. I was sad after she and I hung up the phone because I miss our daily chats, but I had just come out of daily Mass and I had just carried you in my heart to Jesus in the Eucharist and had asked Him to be with you. So, I was able to turn to Jesus and His blessed Mother and lift this sadness of mine up to them. I asked them to give you strength during your treatment and to help you feel better soon. I know they will answer my prayers for you because they love you so much. I love you too Linda, and I look so forward to the times we can talk again on the phone.

I wish I didn't live so far away. That makes this even harder. But even though we are miles apart, you are close here in my heart each moment of the day. I pause often throughout the day, as I think about you, and say a little prayer for you. I hope you feel my love for you even though we can't talk, and we are so far away from each other. Know Linda, that I am "walking with Christ" for you with the hopes that you will feel better soon and that you will be lifted up on "angels wings" to the presence of Jesus and comforted in a special way each day. I love you so very much. I miss you so------ Love your little sister, Sharon

Marcus, I am praying daily for you...Let me know when you return from vacation..
Love Sharon---
