My dearest Molly, you are so much in our thoughts and prayers right now. Alice has been stoking me up with lots of fussing and nose rubs to pass on to you - I told her she could send them to you directly, but she's too shy apparently! George says he's not shy, but is worried you won't know who they're from - as if his loving isn't distinctive enough! ![[Wink]](wink.gif) They were sooo sweet this morning, curled up together on our bed - the picture of domestic bliss! ![[Snore]](graemlins/snore.gif)
Mr B had a nice phone call last night from his incumbent-to-be - the bishop's said yes, so we're definitely just waiting for the official letter which we ought to get some time this week. But at last there's no doubt - we'll be Dolphy's new neighbours (well, nearly!) in 6 months. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) Thank you so much for your support and prayers through this time.
W*rk is going marginally better this week, if only because I've managed to improve my attitude slightly - which is just as well, since I'm all on my own for 5 days as my team member is off on holiday for a week!
B has yet another ear infection, so she's back on antibiotics *sigh* and has now been referred to the ENT department up in Oxford. We should get the appointment letter in about 3 weeks, then probably a couple more months until the actual appointment, but at least it's a step in the right direction, to see if there's any cause for them all and make sure there's no long-term damage being done...
Anyway, I'll stop waffling now - much, much love from us all, the cats and the bunnies
--------------------
Who wants to be a rock anyway?
toujours gai!

Good Morning Miss Molly,
It was wonderful having the opportunity to chat with you last night on MSN, and I hope I didn't wear you out, knowing you needed to rest. As promised, here is the update of my activities as you requested.
My final week here in Southern California finds me busy with last minute chores to finalize before the move back home and reunite with my family and the Lovely Lady A. Balancing the checkbook before closing it out will, I am convinced, take all week, lol. Other menial tasks include 1) Change of address card 2) Stop the phone service 3) pay last of rent 4) wash the car...(it's a Miata, what can I say, gotta look good on the road!) etc., etc.
I've had a nail in the tire for the last month and I finally had that repaired last night, so I won't have to worry about that on the drive home which will be about 900 miles and that will start on Friday evening for a return home on Saturday, late afternoon.
I have 10 finals this week to finish up school, and I completed 2 yesterday. First one was a speech presentation in Oral Communication. This is a class that I received "life/work experience" for, however, I still needed to present a final speech to complete the course credit requirement. A well thought out presentation on Professional Presentation of yourself in the Workplace and character expectations of Management Companies in regards to search requirements in hiring. It took about 40 minutes and wa received well by the instructor, ahhhh, 1 down 9 to go! The second one yesterday was in Golf Industry Operations which was 12 essay questions on Risk Management issues within the golf industry and the target of courses through a litigious society. This one was tough and the questions, in the way they were presented, were difficult to understand, so, in the spirit of Captain Kirk in the Star Trek movie (remember, he didn't like to lose) I changed the playing field and rewrote the questions to my understanding, and then answered them. The instructor loved my tenacity and boldness and smiled at my creativity, and let it slide.....whew! Ahhh, 2 down, 8 to go!
Today's class finals are Golf Shop Operations III in which we have had to create a Business Plan for a ficticious failing Golf Course and present our plan to the class. Ihave had my plan done for about 3 weeks now and will be presenting it today. The second class is in Golf Course design, where we were given a topo map of a 600 acre piece of property close to San Diego and had to design a course on that property. I loved this class and feel I have designed a course I would never succeed at, lol.
On top of the heavy schedule of 10 finals in 5 days, I need to finish packing my stuff and getting it shipped home (can't get alot of "stuff" in a Miata, so my best option wa to send it all UPS, btw....Lady A, you should have the first 20 on the porch when you get home today, hahahahahah ![[Razz]](tongue.gif) . Maybe you can get the boys to ![[Help]](graemlins/help.gif) you. I only have about 8 or 9 more to send, and those will go on Wednesday.
I went Christmas shopping last night for the family and with school this past year and student loans coming out of our ears for the next few years, this one will be a slim one but the best gift of all is the reuniting of our family, which we are all very excited about.
I helped my Landlady bring her trees home last night, and she was busy with the continuation of her decorating, which I might say is over the top! At last count she has 12 wreaths hanging "in" her house....don't you usually have 1 on the door "outside" the house?? A little over the top, I say. She cracks me up!
I shall add more in a couple of days Dear Molly, however, the shower is calling my name as I prepare for the days activities and more finals, oh JOY ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)
As we spoke of last night, there are no more secrets as Lady A has been informed of our plans for her visit, although, we may have to push the date up earlier, which is entirely up to you. I pray and thank the good Lord that he continues to hold you in his precious hands. Take care and rest up.
Your Golf Demigod bud,
Brent

Sounds gruesome, but people whom I've known in similar circumstances, with similarly soaked lungs, have benefitted greatly from having it drawn off.
Molly, from your previous accounts of luxury stays at medical facilities, I know you've had that done at least once, though it might've been for diagnostic purposes rather than to relieve you of gallons of fluid.
I don't doubt it was terribly painful and icky, but try not to fuss if it needs to be done now.
I opened a new Canadian cd, a peaceful serene Christmas one, & started playing it this week, a soundtrack to the days after I get everyone gone to work & school.
Traditional, beloved old songs mostly, heavy on the devotional with only one or two of the 'fun and frivolous' type.
All instrumental...
bits remind me
of angelic choirs
worshipping on mountain peaks
as the sun sets in glory behind them
and the stars rush across the sky to join them
singing their crystal praises...
Beautiful carrolling bells, wistful pipes, all bathed in gentle harmonies.
It's the same as the wrapped CD I sent you. I hate-hate-hate to spoil one bit of your Christmas unwrapping fun, but, I think you ought to open it now.
You need all the Savior-scented calm you can get when breath is hard to come by.

Just called Molly -- she is weak and I told her to save her voice and lungs -- but I wanted to tell her again how much we (and I) love and care for her, in case she has not been able to see the thread -- her mother is with her, which I think is a great comfort to her.
Much love and many hugs, Molly -- and I mean it! Worried, but I believe you are in good Hands... wish I had that beating-heart smiley but this will have to do:

Hello Miss Molly
So sorry to hear that you are really under a cloud at present but you've got to do as you're told and take that medicine.
I've been recently thinking about Christmas past - especially when I lived in Winchester (ancient capital of England) and we had our school carol services in the rather large churchy type building in the centre of the city.
OK Winchester Cathedral if you must - but please don't try and sing that awful song (By the way a few friends once almost convinced some American tourists that it was for sale - they got a bit suspicious when the asking price was too low!)
Anyway, Winchester County High School for Girls (now unfortunately downgraded to Westgate School and co-ed) had ideas rather above its station as a state school thanks to the Head Mistress and music teacher. So each year we took over the cathedral for an annual carol service. You did have a choice - you could go to school in the afternoon or turn up and sing in the evening. Either way the register was taken so if you did not turn up for either you'd kop it.
We were all dressed smartly (?) in our grey and red uniforms (for ome reason I still can't wear those colours together ![[Confused]](confused.gif) ) And sat in class order in the nave whilst parents and others were ushered to the side aisles.
I never did make the choir but my best friend did. We always began with "Of the Father's heart begotten" as the choir progressed to the East wing with candles (unglamourously stuffed into potatoes!). I'm still moved by that song to this day. My friend used to maintain that she always tripped over the tomb of William Rufus - but nowadays she denies it ![[Embarrassed]](icon_redface.gif)
Being a pretentious school we never sang "O Come All Ye Faithful" but "Adeste Fideles" and the music teacher (who I won't name for in case of libel) would always manage to include an obscure arrangement of a traditional carol which my parents in particular would moan about "why do they have to change everything?" And of course there would be the carol written an composed by some smart alec schoolgirl who was the darling of the head (who I also won't name but who was despised with avengence). Ghastly.
I do love Winchester Cathedral (drat that song again ![[Frown]](frown.gif) ) It was resuced from sinking once - they stuck a statue of the diver to comemorate it but a couple of years ago they discovered that it was of the wrong man! Jane Austen is buried there and people leave flowers on the flagstone over her grave - especially on the anniversary of her birth and death. There are also the bones of various kings including King Canute whose remains are in one of many ornate boxes above the choir. I wonder whether he really did try and stop the waves
My particular favourite in the cathedral is St Swithun who was moved to the Catherdral he founded against his wishes - which is where the legend of raining 40 days comes from. Apparently he wanted to be and was buried in a small plain grave but the powers that be wouldn't have it so they dug him up. The day the did so it began to pour with rain - hence the legend that if it rains in St Swithun's Day it will rain for the following 40 days & nights. However my view is that it's just the medieval way of describing a typical English summer
Sadly, I rarely go back there for Christmas now. To many memories of being compelled to be present when a teenager.
I do still have a favourite service I try and get down for which is the Easter Vigil on Easter Saturday. Everyone ends up with a lit candle as the Catherdral gradually fills with light as the procession moves from East to West. Then the announcement "Christ is Risen" is proclaimed and the organ is played full power. It brings a tear to the eye (and the heart skips a beat). I have seen many a tourist leap into the air when the organist strikes a chord - I think they do it deliberately
Anyway enough reminiscing - I'm looking forward to our carol service at church and all the different groups involved with a nativity tableau; dance; a rap poem and of coarse the singers and musicians.
Now Molly - take care and do as you are told.
Love to your mother and family, and to St Seb.
Praying for you

Dear Miss Molly, the cats are both sitting on the landing looking rather anxious, even though they've been fed. I think they're feeling much the same as me - we all want to hear that you're feeling better!
Much love, and take care.

Miss Molly started on morphine today; I took it over this morning. Things seem to be progressing at an alarmingly accelerated rate. She said she held out 'til Thanksgiving and her sister's birthday and that seems to have used up her resources. She said she's tired and ready to go Home. Both of us think she'll be celebrating Christmas with the Church Triumphant. I know she's mourned losing her ability to sing; I imagine her adding her True Voice to the heavenly chorus and I get chills.
I don't know how much longer she'll be able to post; I'm going to start printing the posts and I or her mother can read them to her. I'll offer to post for her when she's up for dictation. Hospice went by today and they are going to be taking over her medical care. She cancelled her appt with the doctor tomorrow; there's really no point. She won't be leaving her apartment again, though she's asked me to wheel her into the park when possible. Her spirit is still lively.
I believe we're in the home stretch, my dears. Know that Molly is ready, though, and today she told me this has been the happiest year of her life, and it's because of all of you that she can say that. Feel free to email me anything you would like me to give Molly but don't want to post here, though I'm sure she'll be on a few times yet. I've fixed the flaw in my email filter that caused me to miss some of your earlier emails.
I and she appreciate your prayers. They must be efficacious because I assure you I feel not the slightest strain or stress but feel very privileged to be able to help and to share this part of the journey with her.

Dearest Molly.
I've not posted on this thread before. I'm not very good at finding words to say things like this. But I'm going to have an attempt anyway. I don't know if you remember me. We've met in the café a couple of times. Whether my name rings a bell or no, what I have to say still stands.
I joined the ship sometime last year on request of my friends known here as Sophs and Mookoo. Before I even joined I was told about Sophie Aubrey and how amazing she was. When I did venture into the café, you were one of the first people I met there, and you really made me feel welcome.
As I say, I'm not very good at this. What I want to tell you is, thanks for being there when I was a lowly little apprentice. Thanks for all you've done for my friends (from what I've heard about you from them, you really are a miracle worker.) You are in my prayers, and have been ever since I was made aware of this thread back when it was about 2 pages long.
May God's blessings be upon you.

Wandering with Hope called me as I was leaving work to tell me of your post, St Seb and the latest news of Molly. I'm signing in to say this before I go home.
I love you Molly. I continue to pray and will do so for the rest of my life til Jesus calls me home. Then we'll rejoice face to face. And someday you'll see my precious splendid Fearless, for I know without a doubt that our pets will have a home with us in Heaven.
Please just rest and receive the ministry of those God, in His Divine Love, has placed by your side at this time.
St Seb, you are in my prayers. Tomorrow we have Vespers and Thursday we have a Divine Liturgy for St. Nicholas - candles for you, Molly and her mom.
"O Heavenly King, O Comforter, the Spirit of truth, who art in all places and fillest all things, Treasury of good things and Giver of life; Come and dwell in us and cleanse us from every stain, and save our souls, O gracious Lord.
Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal: have mercy on us."
I'll never forget the gifts you've given me, Molly and St Seb, both tangible and spiritual.
Be at peace.

Dear Miss_Molly,
Prayers ascend for courage, serenity and a deep sense of God's presence as you make the journey into the heart of God.
A poem by Joyce Rupp to be with you on your way...
Leaning on the Heart of God
I am leaning on the heart of God.
I am resting there in silence.
All the turmoil that exhausts me
is brought to bear on this great love.
No resistance or complaint is heard
as I lean upon God's welcome.
There is gladness for my coming.
There is comfort for my pain.
I lean, and lean, and lean
upon this heart that hurts with me.
Strength lifts the weight of my distress.
Courage wraps around my troubles.
No miracle of instant recovery.
No taking away of life's burdens.
Yet, there is solace for my soul,
and refuge for my exiled tears.
It is enough for me to know
the heart of God is with me,
full of mercy and compassion,
tending to the wounds I bear.

Miss_Molly, may you be confident in God's enduring love for you, and may God's peace fill your spirit and ease all concern. May you be given inner strength to peacefully enter the realm of new life. The blessing of God be with you, and accept my gratitude for sharing the final leg of your earthly journey with us...

Dear Miss Molly and St Seb,
I am thinking of you a lot as this takes me back 4 years to my Mum's final ilness and death. Like Miss Molly, she deteriorated very quickly, and a week or so beofre she died she said"I was going to hang out to Christmas but bugger that, I've done everything I had to do". So she celebrated with the Church Triumphant after dying gallantly as Miss Molly has said she intends to do.
It was quite extraordinarily joyful, but sad-but no regrets.
Toujours gai, Miss Molly. Salve atque vale.
A special salutation to Saint Seb; not a terrible warning but a shining example to others.

Dear Miss Molly,
I wish I had some stories for you today, but my heart is too full. I can only give you a blessing:
May God's peace surround you. May you float home on a sea of love. Warm trade winds blow and an evening star shines to guide you. Safe harbour and a joyous landfall!
Let us entertain you, but don't ever think that you have to tarry for us.
A blessing and a prayer for your mother and for the heroic St Sebastian (whose blood remains worth bottling).

Dear Miss Molly,
We prayed for you last night at my fellowship group. In fact we prayed for you twice (I think someone got a bit muddled) but I was really rather pleased about that .
Hope you are more comfortable and that you have had a good night's rest, watched over by many angels and blessed by many prayers. I hope too that your parents and St. Seb and your friend Marian are well rested.
love and God Bless

Much, much love, Molly. Praying for strength and peace for you, your family, St Seb and your friends (meaning that St Seb is a special friend, not that he's not a friend at all! ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) )
George & Alice send lots of loving, purrs, and headbutting (it's a sign of affection, honest!), and the bunnies send extra special whiffles.
Love and prayers,

Molly,
I've not posted on here before, but you have been in my thoughts and prayers since I arrived aboard ship a couple of weeks ago.
May Father God hold you ever so close.

Dear Molly,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your parents and family, St Seb and Marian just now.
I'm no good with words. Better refer you to the two very different settings of Psalm 23 from the CD that I sent you. They've been an anchor for me many times in the past, and I hope maybe for you and those surrounding you.
Ms M is at home with me today - catching up on her sleep after two nights awake with back pain. I will need to pass on your visualisation techniques to her, as I will to the physiotherapist with whom I start this afternoon.
Peace be with you Molly. I'll try and post again later today.
love
Miffy

All I can do is pass on the blessing which ++Rowan used at his Confirmation of Election.
The Lord bless you and keep you
The Lord make his face to shine upon and be gracious unto you.
The Lord lift up the light of his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
Thoughts and prayers are with you, always,

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Reading all of these lovely prayers, thoughts and blessings reminds me of when Molly had just be diagnosed. The hospital got so many message, phone calls, and emails that they were trying to work out just who Molly is; some international film star?
Molly, you are a star. And if you feel that the time is right for you to return home then that is what you must do. Don't hang around here waiting for us, we will catch up with you later.
You know our tastes quite well, any chance of you spying out some heavenly mansions for us? I think that we would like to be dotted around the New Jerusalem..... Oh please, if the process hasn't started yet, make sure that we have a decent super heavenly highway.
Molly,(or Seb), assure your family that we are and will continue to be praying for them.

Molly, I know I haven't posted on this thread much, but please know that my thoughts and prayers are often with you, even more so now.
I am so glad that you liked the quilt and that it got to you safely, it is so like you to go through all the squares and acknowledge those who contributed. In fact, I am sure that like me, all the others felt that we were the priveledged ones, to be able to be a part of something like that for you. You have enriched so many peoples lives, more than you know now.
Right now you are with us, looking through that glass darkly. All our prayers are with you as you journey to the place where you will see face to face, and know fully, as you are fully known.
I think we all feel sometimes as though we are running out of words, but we know what a wise woman you are, and that you can hear our hearts behind our voices. Thank you for that, and bless you, Molly.

ps) you do know, don't you, that you have almost converted me to being a cat lover? Most of the cats on our street come to us to say hello now, and even partake of a saucer of milk!

Hey Molly,
After all our MSN conversations, you'll just love to know that the doorbell here just rang and, thinking it was my dad, I nipped to open the door dressed only in a towel!!!! A bit of a shock for the poor chap who'd come to upgrade the settop box for cable television - and I didn't even have my bedsocks on!
Molly, I told you there would be no goodbyes, 'cos I am relying on you saving me a space near you for when I catch you up my friend. You have given me, and continue to give me, so much and I love you far more than it is possible to love someone you have known for such a short time and without even meeting them. Strange thing, that....especially considering you're foreign!
My love and prayers to you, and especially to your Mum and Dad and the rest of your family, and to those two men you love so much for such different reasons.
Now, no sneaking in through the kitchen door, my friend.... there's a special place just waiting for you, I know!
--------------------
Miss you, Erin.
