A quick hello everyone and thanks for all of your messages and support. Things have been extremely challenging over the past couple of months, including reading messages and watching TV. I have been spending most of my days sleeping a lot, when I can. It's been difficult to find enough energy to leave my condo to go to medical appointments. It's also difficult to have many visits from anyone outside of my caregivers or send messages through my phone (Tasha is typing this for me right now). So please don't take offense if I haven't responded to your messages or request for a visit.
These challenges have led me to question whether continuing treatment is giving me the quality of life that I'd hoped for. In the last week, I was given the results of an MRI and CT Scan that were positive in a remarkable way. This has left me confused based on how I've been feeling. I've decided to take a 3 week treatment vacation to see what happens and decide my plan from there. Life is unbelievably complicated.
I graciously ask for you to continue sending me strength so that I can try to get through this time.

In fact, we have just re-read your Visual Celebration of Life Moments card entitled ‘The Black’.🎨 Today, you and Tasha honour us by ‘shining the spotlight’🔦on a time when life is so ‘unbelievably complicated’ that you need to step aside for three weeks🚶♀️, see what happens🔮 and make another plan🧘🏼♀️.
💕We just want you to know that, as ever, we respect the choices you are continuing to make for yourself👣. Based on past evidence🏖, those decisions will be right for you👩🏻, no matter what.🎢

💌Dear Tricia,
🛫Today we are beginning our journey back to Peachland🇨🇦. One of the first things I packed🧳 is our set of the cards from the Celebration of Life Moments🎭 that you held in June. 📜I read one of them every day when I light your candle🕯. Thanks again for the visuals🎨, ideas💡 and inspiration💕.
Love you lots,
Louise and David🥂

Dearest Tricia,
It's Lisa Wells here - I was Melissa Homenuik's right-hand gal in the marketing department in Calgary! I thought the world of you and have never forgotten you. I wanted to see how you're doing and here you are. Will keep in touch now, thanks to this blog. Most important - please know I too am streaming strength, healing and comfort around you and through you. Non-stop with all my might. I'm living in Halifax, NS (since 2013) and my energy has the power to blast through a thousand planets in the name of love & purpose. We're in this together. xo
