I am so sad this afternoon. I just found out that someone who has been thru more physical challenges than anyone can imagine is going back into the hospital to have surgery, and on the eve of Christmas. It certainly cannot be a good thing if she has to go in today and the Doctors couldn’t wait till Wednesday.
I am just taken aback by this woman’s spirit. She is so up and has such a positive view of all that has been dumped at her feet. To say she is special would not be appropriate. She’s more like an angel and it manifests in her emails. I’ve never physically met her. I just know of her through our online contacts in our club. Her emails have the presence of a message being delivered to all who read it. An aura.
I recently asked her to write about herself for the SWC newsletter and I am so happy she took me up on the offer. She told me that it gave her the opportunity to go back and be with her grandmother again. I feel, she gave us the opportunity to familiarize ourselves with an angel. http://www.saywhatclub.com/newsletter/dec07/heartsoul.html
Though I rarely pray and try not to make a habit of it, I hope she will be okay. Actually, I hope she will be more than okay. She certainly deserves an opportunity at having a life, a life that doesn’t involve being in bed and in hospitals the majority of her days.

I’ve known Dawn for many years, from Vistas and SWC, but never realised the full extent of her struggle.
I know that my life has also been up and down, but from now on, when I am at a low moment, I will think of Dawn and take a leaf out of her book.
Thanks for sharing this
Cheers
