My... Peg.

I haven't written too much... about My Peg, lately.

Seems... this 'Vortex'... 

'Silly Silo'....

has kept me...

'occupied', to say the least.

Mostly... 'within' myself.

Between the Kids... Polly... Shop... Shows....

Struggles.... 

I...really.... haven't had it in me... to 'write'.

Peg... has been battling lung cancer... for several years...now.

I remember... sitting with her, a month before she was diagnosed.

It was the last day... of a Grueling.... Fall Harvest Sale.

I'd had the rug...pulled out... from under me, by some folks...in 'the business'.

my heart....was heavy.

I was 'broken'.

Peg sat there...with me... as she had, over the years.... through Thick and Thin.

As I visited with her.... today.... I said, "Remember... that day? : ) When we thought... that day.... was the Worst...Day....Ever!!!"....

we both burst out...

Laughing!!!

A month later... she was diagnosed...with lung cancer.

We All... Stood Tall.... Prayed.... She Fought...So Hard.

Went Trough Hell....

and...somehow... : ) to the Dr.'s Amazement.... 

Made It.

: )

then... 

the cancer....

came back.

Again... Peg... Fought.... and... kept it at bay.

: )

Then.... John got sick... and...everything....Everything....

went so quickly.

Peg... got sick, again...too.

I remember... the last words, John...said to me....as he was walking out the door...

taking his last two...steps...en route to the Hospital.

{Peg was there... in front of him... smiling... at him.... : )  }

"Well... maybe...they can give me a 'Pill."

: )

He always hoped... there would be a 'pill' that would make the body...fight against cancer.

Seems... there is... something like that...now. 

The commercials come on the t.v., selling that Drug.

I always switch the channel.

{Too....Damned Late.... for John. }

: (

but...

Not... for Peg! : ) 

She began taking that drug... a few months ago.

There was still...a tiny spot in her lung, that the chemo... last year... {that made her So Sick...Again}

wouldn't touch.

So... : ) she began this treatment. 

The drug... is much like John had imagined... It helps your body, kill the cancer.

It seems it has worked... just the opposite... for My Peg.

Where there was No cancer... before.... 

{None}

in a matter of a couple months.... has attacked her breast.

aggressively.

She just got home... from the Mayo. 

We talked.... for quite a while... today.

I said.... "Don't You Dare... Give Up!!!"

She promised....me.... she wouldn't.

Below... are a few... of the pictures... I have of My Peg. 

During Shows..... and Events. 

With... Friends... Family...{two and four legged }

Good Times!!!

Peg and me....

when we are together....

rarely... have 'bad times'. : )

We LAUGH!!!!

and

LAUGH!!!

even... today...

with all of the SHIT... that's Swirlin' around...us.

We Still....

LAUGHED!!!

Have You... Any IDEA... what a GIFT...

that is????

: ) 

She calls me... 'The Sister she never had'...

She... is, in my Heart... My Sister.

I couldn't Love her... More. <3

Please... Keep Peg..... in your Heart... Arms...and Prayers.

{She and I... again...today... Laughed about how... few 'feathers' we have left....

on our...smouldering...singed... pinfeather...encrusted...

 'wings'.

oh dear. 

: )

We Rely... on Yours! <3 }

Please.... include... Michael, Peg's Girls... and Grandchildren.

They... are quite broken hearted. 

Love...to ya....
