A Difficult Quandry
I have not blogged much about Corlissa lately. Things have been a little difficult between the two of us. Those of you who know her well, know that she is pretty scared about everything that's going on with me. This has translated into an increasing distance between the two of us. On Tuesday night, one of my worst fears was realized: she is moving out of my house. It is hard to know whether this is for the best or whether to fight it tooth and nail. Everyone keeps telling me that I need to focus on my health and while I know that is true, it is easier said than done.
Please keep both of us in your prayers as we make decisions about the directions of our lives. As you can imagine, this is very confusing...well, off to radiation! What a crazy time this is.........

I've not seen you or even talked to you forever. I couldn't sleep last night and your face & whole situation came to mind so I thought you needed prayer!! I wanted you to know that I've been praying for you for the past year to 1 1/2 years since hearing about your cancer. I've been on your blog getting the updates how I could pray and how you were doing!! I have many great memories all the way back to middle school through college. But my favorite one is the hot tub incident!! Ash- I still laugh hard about that! If your friends don't know about it, I want to be the one to tell it!! Especially, your daughter!
Praying for God's will and your peace of mind! Your name brings a smile and a flood of great memories!! Thanks
Keep trusting God!
Hi Ashli
Just want you to know that I am praying for you and Corlissa. May God's will be done in your life. Keep the faith. May He meet every need and give you peace and joy.

Thanks to both of you (even though I only have a good guess at commenter #1). I find it interesting that I have a slew of regular commenters and only two comments on that last blog. I know that, for those of you who know Dthe Corlissa situation, it is likely hard to know what to sayl Do not fret, I'm taking it very well. I have to put my health first. I certainly can't help Corlissa, or anyone else for that matter, if I'm dead.
i finally got my blogger account figured out - sorry for not commenting sooner.
I sure hope everything works out with you and Corlissa - nuff said about that - without me putting my foot in my mouth.
okay - i love you and hope to see you next weekend :)
Ashli,
You're right, it's hard to know what to say. You're probably wondering what else can possibly go wrong. so is Corlissa. Try to keep the lines of communication open. If you can't reach her by phone or e-mail, you can always write her a letter. Yes, that form of communication is still used:) You are in our thoughts and prayers.
love,

Praying for you and Corlissa. I hope to see her at the banquet next week. The kids want her to present one of the awards, and she was nominated for two of them! It's amazing what a lasting impression she made with all of us from just one semester of theatre class and one small debut as herself in a sketch comedy show! She's amazing, and you've played such a huge part in helping her blossom in so many ways. Believe it or not, I've learned a lot about motherhood from you. Praying for both of you in the new situation.
Hey!
As a mom, I can completely identify with your feelings. Even though my kids are much younger than Corlissa, I know I've had times when it's been almost excruciating to let them step out of my protective care while they learn to navigate certain difficulties on their own. I know our situations are different, but I do understand the intense feelings of a "mother's heart!" The bond you have established with her and the positive impact you have had on her is solid, no matter what decisions are made regarding living arrangements. Parenting is a rewarding yet very, very difficult task......
I'm thinking of you and as always you are both in my prayers!!!
Love,
Patrice
Ashli-
This is your sister and I miss you. This is the last blog that you yourself typed. I think about you every day. Some days I cry some days I laugh, but everyday I am sad. It's not uncommon for us to go a month or so without seeing or talking so some days it just hits me that you are actually gone. I just want you to know that I would have taken care of you forever if it meant you would still be here. I am so sorry that this has happened to you. I love you.
