WHITE RABBITS!!!!  
A difficult August 1st to feel optimistic - but Mom would be disappointed if we didn't at least try.  This month I am hoping for a little extra strength and courage.

It has been a very difficult couple of weeks in our house.  My mom is at home, in her own bed, surrounded by her loved ones.  Thank you to everyone for your cards, flowers, baking sheets, emails, notes, phone calls, pastas, soups, cookies, cakes - for your stories, your love, your support and for sharing your heartbreak.  I feel like I know my mom's blog followers well...even the ones I don't know face to face.  You will never know the strength, encouragement and purpose you have given to my mom and family.

  3. Dear Leslie:

    I have followed your blog for months, knowing the battle that you have been waging, and sent this note to you through a FB message because I had not figured out how to do a comment here. Now I have, woohoo! Know that you are in my heart and prayers always It is amazing to me that you have written your blog with such humour, honesty and integrity - but then that is what I know comes from you all the time.
    When I think of my job at Ranchlands School, you are the first one who comes to my heart and mind. The incredible way you were with my little charge who is now 23 and an upstanding citizen - I can never thank you enough. He had many challenges in those early years & you were forever positive, warm, loving and inspirational yet firm with him and all the kids. You don't even know all the folks you have left a mark on so I am telling you....You have made a tremendous impact on my life! Believe me when I tell you that you are the very best that humanity has to offer and I am blessed and honoured to know you. You are the best!!
    Sending you big hugs, love and fantastic energy your way with tons of life, light, love and laughter,
    Marjorie Tite Aucoin xxoo
