I had the pleasure of meeting Elizabeth briefly on Tuesday February 16th and when I learned she was terminal immediately it shook my soul and I began to cry, I couldn't help myself, I also couldn't understand why I was crying because I had only met her 5 minutes before she told me and a customer who asked her how she was doing with the chemo that she was terminal. Elizabeth told me not to cry because she has excepted her fate and she is ok with it. Her children will be taken care of and she's good. I still couldn't get myself together and I don't even know her. Elizabeth for the brief moment we met I felt you and I felt your beautiful spirit. I have never met anyone as brave as you, I'm very proud of you for being the person that you are. Please enjoy the time you have left, cherish every moment, make videos, record messages, just make every day count...especially for your children. I feel very fortunate for meeting you and I have decided to make some changes in my life....I want to live each and every day as if it were my last. Bless you sweet angel.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth,
ReplyDeleteWell, well...don't YOU rock. I had a very special time visiting you yesterday, and I look forward to many more. Your spirit lifted me and reminded me of God's great wisdom. I was so glad to hear your statement of Trust in His knowledge. So many people are not in tune with that belief. It's really too bad, because they are missing out on the greatest PEACE available to us . I pray that you will get to demonstrate that awesome peace for a LONG time. I hope to share many afternoons discussing all kinds of things. I love your outlook and opinion of things. Keep on SMILIN' and LAUGHIN'...and let me make you laugh once in a while!
Your Fan,

Thats funny, My wife and I took Elizabeth in last year right before Christmas.We live in a very small house (900 sq ft)but had sympathy for her when we found out she was terminal we decided to let her stay with us against our better judgement.
ReplyDeleteIn that time, she continued to see her children's deadbeat father who hasnt paid child support in over a year, had me take her to the hospital twice for an addiction to pain meds,stole our 14 year old son's dvds and skipped out owing us a very modest rent of 300 dollars three weeks before Christmas.
Dont be fooled by the act, whether she's dying or not the only person Liz cares about is herself.
