May I please ask for prayers of love and support
for my best friend Dorothy,
and her partner William.
He has been unexpectedly admitted to the hospital
and will be getting double bypass surgery tomorrow.
Both are frightened and upset over this sudden news.
I will light a candle for them both
in a group called 'will'
with much love . . .

Dear Sparrow,
 
Dorothy is close to your heart! I will be glad to keep her and William in my prayers and light a candle for them.
 
Heart surgery would be scary for anyone, but by-pass surgery is done so much that physicians have a lot of experience with it. So there is every reason for hope that all will go well! 
 
I will light a candle in  thanksgiving!
 
Much love,
Edda

Peace and joy!

Dear Sparrow,
I hope you and Dorothy, and also William will take heart from what Edda has said, and I know it is true.
All the same...scary indeed! Bless them both. I will light a candle for them and for William's safety and a good recovery.
 
with Love,
Jude

Love is the only way

Sparrow,
of course I will light a candle.  And of course its scary.  And of course Edda is right.  I am sending huge love to you, and light to your dear friend Dorothy and her partner William.  With love and light and angels, liliwings

William's surgery went well
although it lasted quite a long time . . .
five hours.
He remains in intensive care,
but Dorothy is very relieved.
Thank you
for your heartfelt prayers
with love . . .

Love is the only way

I too am delighted to hear that dear William is  out of the operation
what a long time for his devoted Dorothy to be waiting bless her
I know you are a great support for Dorothy, Sparrow
and I wish all three of you my heart felt hugs and healing prayers
Love Bsp xx

Sparrow.
I am so pleased that everything went well.  Although I am not surprised.  It must be such an ordeal to wait while your husband is in surgery.  And now Williams ordeal is to heal.  And heal he will.  (no pun intended)
 
Lighting another candle for speedy healing for will.  Blessings and love, liliwings

Dear Sparrow,
 
Let me join the chorus of happiness that the surgery went well. I am hopinge like all the others that William will make a good recovery.
 
Five hours of waiting is a long time, but what a relief, when good news comes!
I know how it felt waiting for Leon to come out of hip surgery last year!
 
Much love,
Edda 

Peace and joy!

Thank you all so much . . .
the new challenge will be
to learn how to eat better!
It may not sound like a hard thing,
but William has eaten one way his whole life,
and Dorothy is beswoggled by all the measuring and calorie counting
that is involved with WeightWatchers,
so this will be very difficult for both of them . . .
so please,
just keep them tucked into a corner of your heart
as they face these necessary lifestyle changes
with love . . .

Yes, I would agree that changing your diet can be very challenging indeed, although I am assured by people who have had to do it, that you do come to like your new diet.
 
I will of course keep William and Dorothy in my prayers
 
With Love,
Jude

Dear Sparrow,
 
William and Dorothy remain in my prayers!
 
Almost nobody really stays with a "diet"! My guess is that the more one thinks about food the more one wants to eat. I prefer calling it a change of eating habits for good! Perhaps a dietician at the hospital could be helpful in advising a healthy approach to eating that is less confusing and doesn't involve so much counting.
 
Love,
Edda

Peace and joy!

just keep them tucked into a corner of your heart I have already Sparrow

Thank you all . . . thank you

The wonders of modern medicine!
Five days after this heart surgery
William has been released,
and is now home
with Dorothy
and their two cats.
 
I printed up your messages for them,
and dropped them off . . .
neither one could read them,
they were so moved.
Dorothy wept as I read each heartfelt prayer
from all of you wonderful people.
In case you don't realize how much this means to people,
I can give you positive testament
to the power of what you have so lovingly offered
to people you have never met.
They are both incredulous
that 'strangers' would pray for them
so kindly and thoughtfully
Dorothy has asked me to thank you,
and so I thank you from the bottom of my heart
and on behalf of grateful friends.
I took over a little brass ornament
with hanging hearts and little bells.
I told them that whenever they look at it,
or hear its song
to remember
all the hearts
of those who care
with love . . .

Dear Sparrrow,
 
Thank you for the good news that William is back home!
 
Even though we don't know him and Dorothy in person, it is a privilege to accompany them and others in difficult times!
 
Love,
Edda

Peace and joy!

Thank you for the post Sparrow
That was a beautiful idea to print out all the messages.  A true gift from and for the heart. 
 
I am so glad to hear that William is home now.  And yes, that seems very fast.  What a miracle modern medicine can be !!!   I stayed in the hospital longer than that for something rather minor back in the olden days .,.... 42 years ago.  So glad to hear he is recovering. What a blessing and miracle.  with love, liliwings

Thank you for your post sparrow for Dean. If you are interested in seeing her smiling face, Ive included pictures of her now in the post i made about her here:)
 
My heart goes out to dorothy and william. They will be in my prayers/

Thank you Janessa,
for your prayers.
 
William had a followup appointment this week,
and the doctor is very pleased with his progress.
Thank you all so much
for your thoughtfulness and your prayers.
It has meant the world to them.
Dorothy keeps telling me
how astounding it is to her
that people from all over the world,
people they don't even know,
are taking the time and energy
to be concerned
for a stranger.
I tell her,
that there are no strangers here
with love . . .

Dear Sparrow,
I'm pleased to hear of William's good progress.

Love is the only way

A candle please,
and a prayer . . .
William continues to improve.
It is for his sister
that I ask this prayer.
She has terminal cancer,
and is relinquishing treatment . . .
all in the family are grieving deeply.
I pray for guidance and love and support
as they enter this new chapter in the journey . . .
peace and compassion
as they prepare to let her go
with grace and with love . . .

ps. candle group is 'will'
thank you so much.
Your prayers continue to mean so very much to Dorothy and William.

Dear Sparrow,
 
My heart goes out to William, his sister and Dorothy! The choice of not seeking further therapy can be hard for the family but needs to honored and supported. This time of Good-byes is precious for all of them even though very difficult.
 
I will light a candle for them! My prayers will accompany them as well!
 
Much love,
Edda

Peace and joy!

Dear Sparrow,
I'm with Edda here,
 
I will light candles for them all with Love,

May I ask again,
for candles lit for Dorothy and William.
Elsie, William's sister
lost a long battle with cancer on Saturday night.
Although Dorothy is not able to visit the forum,
she has been visiting her candle group
since I told her about it.
The candles lit mean so much to her,
to William,
and to his family.
They do not understand how complete strangers
can be so kind and loving . . .
the candle group is still called will.
