I'll be there ringing, too. Such brave souls in such a difficult battle. I am so amazed at their strength.
ReplyDeleteOh my my, I can relate to this,My husband died almost 8years ago now of Esophageal Cancer.He was young only 46.I will surely pray for him and find a bell to ring.I really know what hes going through.My husband was diagnosed, he died 3 months later.As with this cancer, its usually at the end when you cannot swallow that you find you have a problem.As was the case with my husband.he also was a heavy smoker and tried quiting several times.So Barry God Bless and prayers are with you,I have a little bell on some jewelery,lol its rings softly but you know it can be heard.;)
ReplyDeleteBecky ~ all types of bells are welcome! I've read that we have quite a variety! :)
ReplyDeleteI will be ready to ring any bell I can come up with in honor of Barry (bless him) and anyone else involved with this hideous disease. Your words were wonderful, Betsy!

What a wonderful, supportive idea! Having walked with my mother down cancer's road for the past 10-months I know firsthand how much the support of others can encourage a weary traveler. May the bells resound!
