I enjoy reading your messages..you are truly a survivor, in fact we are all survivors and doing everything we can to stay in our world and lives longer. My parents were both holocaust survivors and my mom always told me, never give up on hope because where there’s life there’s also hope, don’t lose your sense of humour and try not to take yourself too serious. I feel if these words of advice kept her alive for five years in a prison camp then I’m listening… one more thing, she always said we can take a lot more in our lives than we ever thought possible…if someone told me a few years ago that I would go through a global pandemic and also get lung cancer twice in the past two years I would have said that I could never have survived such a thing but I was wrong and I’m still hanging in there, amen.

You are amazing...and blessed to have a mother who gave you such a life message. My heart aches for their suffering but is also filled with gratitude for their survival. Humanity continues to do the unthinkable...we are all incredible survivors and I wish I could give a group hug. A virtual hug to you! Are you still having treatment for your lungs? Your Mom was so right...when we dig into ourselves, we find courage..and groups sure help!💞

For you I will say Mi Besherach. My parents came to Canada much earlier - right after the Communists came to power in Russia. I heard stories of hiding in fields, etc. When you come to think of it, it is awful what humans do to other humans. And what is still worse is that we haven't learned a thing, because it is still happening. I am so very sorry of what you have had to go through during the last two years and grateful that you are persevering and overcoming it all. May it always be so.
Starting another weekend, I will have to get the suitcases in because I leave on our cruise on May 26th. So nervous about this. First one without my husband. At my age I wonder if this will be the last one. I guess it all depends on what the future holds and we don't know what that will be. I do not pray, but will have good thoughts for you in my heart.
