UPDATE Maggie's surgery will take place at noon tomorrow EST. Please pray at this time for God to guide the doctors and his team. For healing and acceptance of His will.............................................................................God Bless you all for all you have done. You have been such a Blessing to me and Maggie................................... My eldest sister who has advanced parkinsons, called me tonight to tell me she just found out she has lung cancer and it is blocking her bowel. They are going to do surgery as soon as they can get it scheduled. She will be 74 on the 13th. She is the reason I have any interest in sewing. She taught me how to cook. She taught me how to can foods. I was always under foot. She could not put her shoes on without me saying,"Where are you going?" She has always been there for me and now I can't be there for her.She is over 900 miles away. I don't see a possibility for me going to see her so all I can do is pray and ask all those that can to pray. As soon as my machine comes back from the mechanic I will be making Angels to send to her. Please remember her in your prayers. God Bless, Theresa UPDATE: Maggie's surgery is this Friday. Please pray that day for her to make it through the surgery and heal. I was told today they found cancer in 3 spots. Lung, Liver, and bowel. She never smoked and grew most of her fruits and veggies. Cancer does not care . It grabs anyone at any time.

26010This is such sad news, Theresa - the difficulty of not being able to be with her right now is especially hard. You both are in my prayers!!
I always wanted a sister (I have 4 brothers) so, your description of how close you two are is so very touching. Get a bunch of stamps and send her a written note every day, write about something she did for you while you were growing up. Send her a joke to put a smile on her face - I know you can call her but there is nothing like letters in the mail. Lots of prayers to you and your sister! Hugs and love, Laura*

4401I feel your heartache, in your beautiful description of your relationship, with your sister. I sense your circle of love for each other. I pray for strength, for both of you, as you both face the unknown. I ask for peace and comfort, to weather this storm in your lives. You ask for prayer, so I am trusting this knowledge of our dear Lord and Savior was also taught to you, by her and that she is saved. Knowing this will bring you great peace. My heart aches for your desire to be with her in person. I pray a way will open up for you to be by her side, not just in spirit. I would love to send an angel, but I haven't had any luck with the FSL. I'm sorry for all your heartache. In Christian Love-Toogie

318448Praying for miracles for both of you! Your sister sounds like an earthly angel. May you both be blessed with all you stand in need of at this time.
My elder sister also taught me all things to do with the home. She is still the one I turn to in time of crisis and need. She also leans on me now too.

rescuer, Thank you for the prayers. And yes she is an earthly Angel. She was my 2nd mom.
God Bless
57675My heart aches for you. You so well described loving sisters. I belong to two angel groups online. If you belong to one, I will be looking for your request. If not, and you would give your or her address, I will send an angel right away. I am praying for both of you, Joan

360644Theresa, I am so sorry. I feel your anxiety over not being able to visit her. You sound exactly like my little sister. She spent the first weekend I was married with me and my very new husband! LOL
I will pray for her and for you. I will pray that a way will open up for you to go put your arms around her, as I do realize how much you both need that.

158716Most of us claim our learning and our heritage from our parents. What a blessing that she has taught you so much and made your life so full. I know you are dumbstruck at the thought of losing her. I was 1,100 miles from my sister and very poor when she went through her cancer. I felt helpless, so I organized prayer chains. Every detail and need my family shared over the phone, I translated to the prayer chain. It was such a comfort to me and gave a sense of power and helping. She has survived more than 20 years and moved on with her health returned. I pray that God will bless you both in some way through this trial.

66910Theresa, I am grateful Crafter will be helping you out with an angel until you get your machine back. Grateful you were able to talk with her on the phone tonight. If you both have a laptop with a camera you can also skype which has a basic service which is free, that works like a phone call but you can see each other through your computer screen. If you both had full sized computers you would each need a web cam to be able to skype I know when our daughter and grandson were living 800 miles away, we were able to continue to see them daily. It may be a way that you could feel closer, than with only a phone call. Just being able to see the facial expressions while a person talks, or to see them as we often can read the expressions which can tell us more than words how the person is doing. Hope this may be an option for you. I will most definitely pray for your sister and her doctors that they will be inspired on how to best help her, and prayers for you also as your desire to be with her during this time is obvious. I can feel your heart ache and I hurt for you that you are unable to be there with her. May you each feel comfort from our Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ as you are all going through this difficult trial. Pam

7955Dear Theresa.I will pray for your sister. Being so far away is always upsetting and one feels helpless. Since your machine isn't working yet I would love to send a angel. Send me a PM with the address if you would like for me to do that.
