Number 3

I'm leaving in about 15 minutes for my third chemo. Three of six. Halfway through, hopefully.

For some reason, I am more nervous about this chemo than I was about the first two combined.

I'll talk to you all later. Promise. - Elizabeth

Elizabeth - Good luck today. It was great seeing you on Easter! Stop encouraging my Mom to be such a trouble-maker. (: I'll be thinking of you and continuing to check your site. Hope to see you again next time I'm in NY.

Hey you,
it's half past eight in Germany and I guess - and hope - that you finished your chemo for today. Hopefully everything went well today.
Love Melanie
PS: I'm to lazy to write more in english, so Katrina, here is another job for you:
Hey Liz, weisst Du noch als ich im Sommer 99 bei Euch war. Wir waren doch damals bei Sigrid in Washington. Morgen kommen Ihre Zwillinge nach Bödigheim zu Edith zu besuch. Ich bin mal gespannt wie sie aussehen. Ich sehe sie immer noch als kleine Kinder vor mir - werd wohl ziemlich überrascht sein, oder? Ich muss in letzter Zeit sehr viel an meinen letzten Besuch bei Euch denken. Es war wirklich toll. Denke gerade daran, dass es auch manchmals etwas unbequem war - zum Beispiel auf der Fahrt von Boston nach Nantucket - zu viert auf dem Rücksitz vom Auto! Malst Du immer noch so toll? Du solltest das machen - und natürlich weiter die Verwandtschaft mit Deinen Tagesberichten erfreuen:)
Ich denke ganz fest an Dich und drück Dir die Daumen

Hey Sara, I'm innocent here and always the best choir member, never talking while other sections are practicing. I do believe it's Elizabeth getting me in trouble with Scott and sometimes Samantha too. Why I even had to stick my foot near Samantha's head to stop her from whispering.

Well, since we're all being terribly truthful here, the person sitting next to me in choir always gets an ear full of my jokes and one liners. Maybe it's Tim's fault because I learned that from him.

Truthfully, I love sitting next to Elizabeth because she and I share music, hymnals, pencils, bullitins and sometimes water. Oh, that's me sharing with her but what I especially like is the times she is so tired or feeling so sick that she'll put her head on my shoulder for just a moment. That's when I want to wrap her up in my arms and shelter her from all the hurt of the chemo treatments and the fatique and the nausea. There's no need for me to do that because she's there to give others the hugs and the funny stories and the most beautiful smile that God has given anyone. It's really the rest of us that need the pep talks and the laughter and Elizabeth, you are the girl.

Forgive me folks for writing so much but I don't write often and am always moved by what I've read.

Love you Elizabeth. I'll see you at church on Wednesday and I'll have
both shoulders ready for you.

Please....I am the angel of the soprano section and you all are troublemakers :) Nel gets Liz's head on her shoulders...I get her barenaked feet on the back of my chair near my head! Where's my sympathy?? Liz, I hope today went well and you had nothing to worry about. Love you!

I would be nervous too with Janette's driving. I am sure she kept you laughing or just telling the nurse what needs to be done!

Translation from Melanie

Hey Liz, do you remember when I was in America in the summer of 1999? We visited Sigrid in Washington DC. Tomorrow her twins are visiting Edith in Bödigheim.
I'm interested to see what they look like now. I still envision them as small children, but I'll be pretty surprised, don't you think?

I've thought a lot recently about my last trip to you guys. It was really great. I was just thinking that sometimes it was rather uncomfortable too -- for example on the trip from Boston to Cape Cod (when we went to Nantucket) with all four of us in the back seat of the car! Do you still paint as well as you did then? You should make something and naturally keep making all of the relatives happy with your daily updates.

I'm thinking of you and wish you luck.

Melanie

OK Jacque, I didn't tell the nurse what to do, Aunt Mil was there for that, but the driving, I unfortunately hit the pot holes on the Taconic~sorry! And Carol, you are on a roll girlfriend. Nel, you nailed the thoughts to a T.

Thinking of you.
janette

Liz, it was fun.
