That is what she would want of you, and even demand of you. Do it for her, do it for all who struggle in many ways in life, but especially with illnesses (and as carers). Do it bc you are such a good example of a carer. And do it bc you are someone who has illnesses and fights so hard to live, just as my John does. You are such a good example, as I said, just as Jane was. Continue to be that good example, Mort, instead of mourning Jane too much. You can mourn her some, but then go on, and take up her cause -- one who can be an example and great encouragement to others, bc that is what she wants. She is looking down from heaven and desiring that from you, Morton. Does that make sense. <br /><br />Did someone actually ask you why you would be upset at her death??? Sheesh! Never mind, heaven forbid I even think about that one. As you stated the person was well meaning...<br /><br />Gee, I'm so emotional tonight. I'm thinking about our Jland tonight. I found an old blog of mine. It was called John's Journey With MDS. I can't remember if you read it or not. I accidentally read some of it tonight. And cried. About 5 yrs ago john had his 2nd cancer, and a year or two later i thought the hospital hopping would be over. boy was i dumb... and i remember all the support we gave each other back then. yes, we still do give each other support. anyway, i was reading the posts, and reading the comments and all the support. and was crying tonight. and i don't even know why...<br /><br />anyway, thanks for your comment on FB. you're the best.<br /><br />I'm not even sure what i'm trying to say here. just go on as i go on. as we must go on. <br /><br />be an inspiration, cause jane would want it that way. and if you get scared, she'll look down and gently but oh so quietly cheer you on.<br /><br />krissy knox<br />http://twitter.com/iamkrissykrissy knoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14541923934162365673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234347550444887573.post-15438921429385581982010-06-06T10:11:51.892-07:002010-06-06T10:11:51.892-07:00Lovely Mort you are so kind and always thinking of...Lovely Mort you are so kind and always thinking of others, even when your not always in the best of health, but you have genuine compassion.<br /><br />Hugs<br /><br />Yasmin<br />xxxYasminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16891747646091928790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234347550444887573.post-45563032213894759542010-06-06T06:16:59.029-07:002010-06-06T06:16:59.029-07:00Hi Mort ,I know you through Jan my sister and you ...Hi Mort ,I know you through Jan my sister and you helped me with your kinds words when I was worried about my heart and was having tests for it .<br />You too have been brave like Jane and always think of others before yourself ..Bless you for this <br />Love JeanxxJeannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234347550444887573.post-26849733752610879472010-06-06T05:52:09.849-07:002010-06-06T05:52:09.849-07:00Mort, You are a good man, a compassionate man and ...Mort, You are a good man, a compassionate man and enough like me to feel the loss of someone you know and admired so much very deeply.

The true test is how we deal with this.<br />You my friend have impacted many lives, just as did your dear friend. memories are dear to us all. But we must take those memries to give us strength to rejoice in the life of those gone before us.And to accept that their journey is over and they are at last in sublime peace. love junjunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14297666218057914976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234347550444887573.post-51303276212815323842010-06-05T16:44:38.705-07:002010-06-05T16:44:38.705-07:00Sending a lot of peace and positive thoughts your ...Sending a lot of peace and positive thoughts your way, from WA.USA<br /><br />You are not alone, in fact you are inspiring as Jane inspired.
