A few days ago at about noon I was on the computer and Madeline was resting on the couch when a shadow danced across my desk. I looked around to find out what had cast the shadow and spied the prayer flags from the congregants of our UU church (Thanks Diane) hung recently on our old flagpole, a spar from a famous new england ship (our house was the home of a ships captain over one hundred years ago). That low winter sun brought them into our home. Thank-you for your blessings.

Technology has the most amazing effects, speaking as one born before TV (I think)--here are these beautiful flags and banners right on my screen, and all the hope that comes with them--Chris I'm here all day if you want to stop by--can't come to your house because of a bad cough but I'm here if you need me. Ginny has to work on history day with Sarah after school.
Its great to know you are part of a community!
either cyber or real!
mady i hope you get well soon can you call me when you can come see me? love kaitlyn s. love you mady
hey it's cameron
i would love to say i know what you guys are going through, but i can't...and you have probably heard this a million times, and i know this has got to be hard. but i think its good to hear it over and over again. Like a poem when you emphasive something to make it stick out(just learned this by the way :j). Try to keep going, pause for mourning if you have to but never let that mourning overcome for too long. Thats all i can say really...well if that doesnt help i'll stick to the simpler words because sometimes they can have so much more meaning...I hope for the best.
love,:j
We love you all very much!!! J,T,F
How did they do that?!!! What a great Christmas decoration---the colorful flags on your flagpole---giving hope and strength to all who see them! Love, XXXXOOOO

Chris & Trey, I have been moved by your prayer flags almost daily as I go to and from work, and have sent your family and maddy many good wishes. I was hoping to maybe see maddy playing her sax at bandorama but that shows you how little I know about leukemia and its arduous treatment. Julia and the flutes were wonderful though. I'd love to be on your puppy care list and I am just across the street on weekday mornings until 1:00 if something comes up. Julie Kirrane
Chris, can we add to the prayer flags? LOve ya, J,T,F
