There are many, but here are the big ones:
My sister is here from overseas with her husband and two very small kids. Wonderfully chaotic.
My mother was just diagnosed with breast cancer. How can this be? It has been 8 months since my own diagnosis. I am wondering if it helps her having watched and helped me through my diagnosis and surgeries, or if it means it is all too real. Suddenly we have a family history of some significance, and my other three sisters have much to worry about. Not to mention the five granddaughters. I am letting myself off the hook from writing for a little while, both the NaNo novel, and the blog, at least until after I know what the plan is with my mom. I hope to be able to travel to be of some help to her.
I feel responsible somehow.

Dear Queen Mum,
You know, of course, that you are not responsible, I'm sure, but I understand why you might feel that way. I'm so sorry to hear about this difficult news for your whole family.
Holding you in prayer,
Songbird
I too am so sorry to hear about your mother's prognosis. You have a wisdom of experience that you will be able to share - if only in the way you are with her. Know you are in my prayers as well. God bless you all.
Oh dear friend: you and yours are all in my heart and my prayers, and those of many others.
Peace,
Mags
Dearest Queen Mum,
I am holding you and your family today in prayer and I want you to know that.
I wish I could come over and cook you a casserole or drink a bottle of wine.
It's hard this time of year without this kind of news -- I am praying that God pour a spirit of healing and hope over you and our mother.
Peace and blessings,
Theresa
May God cast a mantle of protection and healing around your mom, you, and all of your family.
prayers going up for your family, qm! i pray you all have a wonderful thanksgiving!
Queen Mum, you are in my prayers. I went through a biopsy at the same time my sister had to have more radical surgery. It is scary. Know that you are held in many loving arms and prayers, today and in the weeks to come.
Praying for you all. God bless you and keep you.
(o) a blogstone and a {hug} from another RevGalBlogPal...
God's peace as you walk through all of these things...

More healing thoughts and prayers.
Wow! You have so much to contend with that it boggles the mind, but because of your own experience you'll be able to guide your mother through the uncertain days ahead.Nothing like having someone who knows just what you're experiencing at hand. For the record, Mom is probably feeling somehow responsible for you! (o)
more prayers and blessings offered up for you. hope to see you blogging again soon.

Peace and prayers to you and your family as you journey through this wilderness. When my own mother was diagnosed in '02, she received a "Sojourn Bear" which has a tag that reads:
"This bear is given as a sign of love and understanding from one cacer patient to another. To sojourn is to stay for a time or reside temporarily... It's our hope and prayer that your time with cancer is a short sojourn with a happy, fruitful ending. We've learned that hugging is the perfect cure for whatever ails you!!... Our Love and Bear Hugs are with you..."
I can't physically give you the bear, but I'd give you a hug if you wanted one.
Prayers ascending for you and your family. (o)
