My dear, not goodbye but au revoir. It will be like being born, but in reverse. You will be able to shed all the pain and discomfort and stand straight and tall, be young and strong, and with a glorious singing voice, and you will have nothing to worry about any more. May you go on to know more and more joy. I will be thinking of you often.

I hope and pray for you to have the strength to see you through this time and although you may be leaving us now we'll see you later for the biggest and best ship-meet ever.

It's 7 a.m. & I'm trying to find some interesting thing to post. I look out the back window (over the computer's shoulder, you might say...), having heard a blue jay... nothing of special interest... the sun has not gloried its way through the silver-grey overcast yet.
The brave, still-summer-green St. Augustine grass fools the eye... the 63 degrees Farenheit fools the skin... the glossy green oak outside waves gently in a balmy breeze.
Recent rains lifted the water levels in the bayou a bit, but the flock of little buff ibises out there will have none of it. They'd rather forage with their downward-curving bills among my faux-summer grass.
Why, it looks like a spring dawn, rather than a dull, dormant, "ending" out there.
You know, that's how it always is. Just when we think we've purchased ourselves a deck chair on the Titanic, the sun comes out and we find it was a Love Boat after all.

Molly, may I pass on to you this anonymous poem which I discovered just the other day.
I am standing on the seashore
A ship in the bay hits anchor
Spreads her white sails to the morning breeze
And starts out upon the ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength
And I stand and watch until she hangs
Like a speck of white cloud
Just where the sea and sky mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says,
"There, she's gone!"
Gone where?
Gone from sight, that is all.
Just at theat moment there are other eyes
Watching her coming
And other souls taking up the glad shout,
"There, she's coming!"
And that is dying.

Molly -
Still praying for you - Spudz appears to be a little down today - she appears to wish she could send you a message of her own - perhaps she will succeed.
Am going to see Bessie now (we are expecting our first winter weather of the year & she needs back up heat for her & Fearless in case the power goes out) but will post more later. Please know that we are all thinking of you - and you stay in our prayers.
Much love & many prayers -

Dear Molly,
An Irish Blessing
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand
Corny, coming from an Irish person. But it expresses very much how I feel.

Dear Miss Molly, the cats are still looking anxious about you, but I've told them not to worry, as you're on your way to somewhere much more amazing and wonderful that they (or I) can imagine.
I'm joining in all the prayers that are going on for you, and your mother, and St Seb, and Marian, and all your family and friends.
Much, much love from Margaret and cats.

My darling 'Dame Molly'
Although I have sent you an email via St. Seb, I wanted to keep on posting here too. I have just come back from having a rather wonderful lunch with my parents (forgive me, I have garlic breath!); they send you their love and prayers and hope that you will have a bottle of wine open for them when they eventually join you at the Banquet in Heaven (I quote their words). I want to thank you for the joy you have brought into my life and my thanks for trusting me with your secrets and you accepting mine. I also that you for the writing you did for me - it will be included in my PhD and I'll save you a seat at graduation three years from now - I expect you to wear your hat with gold ribbons as you promised!! ![[Wink]](wink.gif) And thank you for all your support during the beginnings of my long court case, I expect you there for the final hearing!!! I will continue to post here but for now I leave you with the song 'You and Me against the world' playing in my study... God bless you Molly as you begin another journey. Brandy and Jessie are with you as always, as am I and Jack. With all our love and hugs, Dolphy. Our love too to your family and friends and to echo Smudgie's sentiments, the two very special men in your life. You will be forever my Guardian Angel...and I thank you for that. So, as the final curtain begins to fall, Act 2 begins. xxx

I was telling my little cub that Molly was going to die. She was wondering if she had a hole in the heart, but I explained that Molly is having problems breathing.
My little cub said that she knew the reason: the doctor didn't hold her upside down and smack her bottom when she was a baby. I asked if it might work if someone was to smack her bottom now. The cub wasn't too sure, but thought it might be worth a try.

I just spoke on the phone with Molly's mother and VERY briefly with Molly herself -- she was a little better last night and today (!), because they brought a new oxygen tank and a hospital bed. She is still not expected to last until Christmas, however -- but I believe she has a few days left, at least. She was very very grateful for the prayers and for everyone's love, and asked me to tell everyone "to give them my hugs and kisses" and her love for you all.
And, well... I suppose that's all that needed to be said. I told her of our love for her, the inspiration she has been for us all, and she was very pleased.
Off to the post office to mail one last package to her as quickly as it can get there.

Thanks for all you've done - you have been an inspiration to so many of us.
'Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace: according to thy word.
For mine eyes have seen thy salvation: which thou hast prepared before the face of all people.
To be a light to lighten the gentiles: and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen'

Miss Molly, walk with the Lord when the time is right. We will all miss you but rejoice in the joy you will experience...and we will meet you when the time is right to the biggest shipmeet in the sky.
I know your dog will meet you...and loved ones.
I hope Gordon Russell meets you up there, a lovely man who just passed away in my church. I called him "banana man" since he brought bananas for fellowship many Sundays to my church. He was in his 80s but I bet he doesn't look a day over 30 now, God be praised.
Miss Molly, it is hard to let you go so I must consentrate on the wonderment you will have when you leave and join loved ones in heaven.
God be praise and bless you.

God bless you on your next "awfully big adventure".

Dear Molly (who will always be 'Iron Mary Kidd' to me!)
One of my favourite poems, a shipmate kind of poem, special to me because of connections with my seafaring father. You probably know it.
'Sunset and evening star, and one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar when I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell, and after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell when I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of time and place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.'
Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
All my love and prayers to you, Molly.

Good morning blessings from Australia, Dear Heart... for I am well and truly home again, jet-lagged, finding it hard to cope with the heat- but loving being home with family and friends.
And back to work. Yesterday was my first proper day back on the wards with meaningful interaction, marvelling that so many people are walking soooo close to God, as they walk dark vallies with courage and hope in the Resurrection to enternal life.
I thought of you often...
I saw the dearest babe in our chapel- I assume the parents were in giving thanks. And I remembered again that image we once spoke of- how glad parents are when the infant is born, and her mummy holds her tight in her arms. First hold, full of love. Then death... God -Mummy and Daddy- holds us close as we are born therin, with arms of welcome and love... for the first time we see each other face to face, and God welcomes us into new life with great joy. The angels stand around and murmur "Ah, isn't she cute!"
Have a marvellous birthing , my dear...

Thinking of you Molly and praying.
I found this by Joyce Grenfell which we had read when my father died and which had brought me great comfort.
If I should go before the rest of you
Break not a flower nor inscribe a stone
Nor when I'm gone speak in a Sunday voice
But be the usual selves that I have known.
Weep if you must,
Parting is hell.
But life goes on,
So sing as well.
I know I'll weep but I'll sing in your honour ![[Angel]](graemlins/angel.gif)

Ma Chère et Belle Molly
Did I ever tell you the funny story of staying in the Holiday Inn in SLC, when I was 15 with my parents? They had lived in Toronto for 10 yrs before I was born, and promised me the "big" tour, after my exams.
I didn't like SLC at all. I felt it was a very prickly place, it made the hairs on my arms stand on end. It has been so strange talking to you over all these months thinking back to that time. Well, we went out for ice creams. It was so hot, I went out without a bra (are you amused J?? ) It WAS August after all! When we got back a maid had pinched it!! (It was a good one, Sports make!)
I know that is frivolous, but I thought I'd tell you know rather than later.
Thank you so much for the prayers re: Maths. When you see Dad, who went last year, (Bert) tell him about the Maths for me? He would be very proud.
I really want to tell you about the tiny ickle babies. I am getting a great deal of support from the midwives at the "Birthing Centre" as it is now known. A cottage hospital is usually an outlying, district (not big town/city hosp), where probably no ops are performed, but various cares/wards. This one is part of a Victorian building. We have the only Victorian bathroom in the area - beautiful tiny black and white tiles! They installed a shower since I was there.
Well, you have been a huge inspiration for me, and I want to thank you for that. The tiny babies today were lovely, although we had one today who would NOT put her tongue down to latch on to feed. The Mum was getting upset about it all. I love speaking to those mothers.
Em and Tobes have a very busy few days, but are so very happy in their school. He is a monkey and a rat in "Captain Christmas", and she plays a solo on her flute in the Abbey for the school Carol Service on Friday. Do you remember hearing her practise? I shall light a candle for you whilst there.
au revoir sweetheart,
Your friend who loves you with all the other brothers and sisters

I've lost count of the times I've started to hit the "reply" button, and then never posted because I felt like I couldn't find the right words.
I still don't have the right words, but didn't want to miss adding my own expression of love and prayers going out to you and for you.
I look forward to continuing to share stories with you once we make it through this dark glass, and to rejoice in God's presence with you again one day.
For now, may the pain be little, and may you be able to let yourself go into God's loving embrace.
Much love

Dear Molly,
Very late - and here are the two ladies of the house still at the computer. (Shame on us!). The great work of art is due in tomorrow. Poor Ms M will be burning the midnight oil, I'm afraid. As is Mr M (still at work, unfortunately). Mephi is snoozing by my side, as usual.
I'll be at my weekly lunchtime prayer 'space' tomorrow and with each candle lit, will be offering up a prayer for you and yours.

Hi Molly,
Like Kirsti I don't really know what to say but I thought I should just say I'm thinking of you. I still have your prayer card by my bed and in case I didn't say earlier, it says "In my music I try to represent who I am. It's very difficult because I'm always changing" (a loose paraphrase).

Can't think of much to say tonight, but "God bless you" and "sweet dreams".
I'll still be thinking of you tomorrow, particularly when I make the journey on the grubby trains! Bit of envy there- it's the Gospel train you're travelling on. "Get on board, little children, there's room for many more."

Sitting here in the lab, I felt I should write a poem for you. As my supervisor, and others will state english is by far my worse subject, but I still wanted to write this for you.
In a bleak world a smile brings sunshine in
In a cold world a hug brings warmth in
In a dull world a laugh brings brightness in
In a harsh world love breaks down all barriers.
You brought all of them into our lives on the ship.
love

"Death be not proud, though some have called thee
"Mighty and dreadfull, for thou art not soe,
"For, those whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
"Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill mee:
"From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee,
"Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
"And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
"Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie.
"Thou art slave to Fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
"And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwel,
"And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,
"And better than thy stroake; why swell'st thou then?
"One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
"And death shall be no more: Death thou shalt die."

Dear Miss Molly,
My thoughts and prayers are with you in every moment that is quiet. My heart and mind turn to prayers for you and all those close. I want to thank you so much for wanting to meet with me. I truly am honored. In the midst of all this to also offer some tourist activities (!) in the area gave me a squeeze all around my tears. Your giving heart is still beating strong. St Seb, how kind of him offering me his car. (I had drawn up some wonderful plans for him when he took the car back over, just a few tinkerings here and there that we could've done together ![[Snigger]](graemlins/snigger.gif) . I figured that if you couldn't help with the actual work, I would just shove you behind the tires to keep the car from rolling whilst I 'fixed' a few things....!)
We will meet again some time, and I will expect a great tour from you when we meet in heaven. Could you scope out and see if there is a place called the Lion's Mane? I would love to sit there with you and Toolie sometime. We will invite all the shipmates there and have a great dance surrounded by the light of the Great Lion himself.
My empty moments are filled with you till the end.
My prayers are filled with you and your family, close and of the heart,
My life has been richer for your laughter on the keyboards, your gallant insights, and the life that you have shared for all of us here. I have been blessed by you.
Love always,
Lady A

Dear Molly, this weekend I will go back to Shaw's Garden for you. It is snowing here, and it will have a bleak beauty in its blanket of white.

Molly, it's been a privilege to share in your life over the last few months - I hope our prayers are as great a source of strength for you as your words and example are to us. I'm sure that God is holding you close in his arms now, and is drawing you closer to him with each hour that passes.
