Buckstaff Spa
My yearly selfless act for her
a gift that gives back
When she emerges like the night sky
With stars in her eyes
From spa treatment
In my refuge under glass roof
19th-century room puts nostalgia
Into my teary eyes
She steps off the elevator
With a smile from long ago
When our love was young

Thank you so much Foxy. Every time we visited Hot Springs I got her this spa treatment. I waited in the glass ceiling roof room for her. When she stepped off the elevator she had the biggest smile ever. It was the highlight of my trip to Hot Springs. <3
Rick, thank you, my friend. Glad you enjoyed. She is now sadly in hospice care, perhaps her last battle in her ongoing struggle with cancer. Yet she still is concerned about me and my life. It breaks my heart to see her so ill.

I am so sad to hear that, John. That is hard times and my heart aches for you. Of course, she is worried about you. That's how it is when you love someone. May God bless and help you both through the days ahead. |

Foxy thank you so much. She has grown children who love her and help her. But her health is declining rapidly. She has lost a lot of weight. With her breathing problems, she can hardly talk. Thank you for your blessing my friend. She looks at hospice care as a positive thing because she will get restaurant food and says she will be going to heaven. Her spirit light shines even while her body declines. Yet the cancer in her lungs amazingly is declining by leaps which is good news. Maybe her breathing problem is unrelated to the cancer and she can hold onto life longer. She believes this improvement is due to her vegan diet and herbal remedies. It is good to know that I am alone.
Dip your peace wish means the world to me. I thank you and return your deep bow.
John

It is wonderful that the light of her spirit sustains her. I'm sure it does much for all those who love her. ![]()  |

Wonderful uplifting word tag my friend. I talked with her a minute ago and she sounded fine and hopeful. We talked for a long time and she didn't get out of breath even once. Her CT scan showed her breast cancer was improving. And her blood test showed her cancer was going down a lot. People can live a long time on hospice care and can even get off of it if they improve or so choose she said. So there is hope. Thank you for your compassionate words, my friend.
