SADNESS

when i started in j-land, i met lots of really great online friends.  one of those was lahoma taylor.  my "hard" life paled next to hers.  she made me feel good about things again, due to the great attitude she had about life and the hard knocks life had given her.  i have been able to access the internet today via my home computer and local wifi.  so i started reading some journals tonight, making up for lost time.  when i got to one of my online friend's journals (who lives right here in georgia where i live) i found out that lahoma was in intensive care in a west virginia hospital.  lahoma has been given 48 hours to live.  she has a loving fiance and a 17 year old son who need and love her.  she has been through numerous surgeries and illnesses.  she has had both of her breasts removed due to breast cancer, and has recently had problems with congestive heart failure.  her kidneys have now failed.  and she is only in her early 30's.  my heart is aching for her and her loved ones.  please keep her in your thoughts and prayers, whether you know her or not.  she and i had a falling out online a couple of years ago and we never got back to being "close" again.  now i wish we had.  she is a fighter and if she has any strength left at all, she will fight this latest set back.

lahoma, i am pulling for you my friend.

Good Morning friend,  I to have known lahoma if only for a fairly short time and like you I grieve for her and her family.  She was so looking forward to Christmas.  However we can only pray that they will all be sustained and know that she has many many friends, who have so enjoyed her friendship.  Bless You  Love  Sybil x

It is a tough one on Lahoma, and I hope against hope she'll pull through.
