A Message from HIMSELF! (The Quiet Man)

 

Above: Me and Pam this evening toasting the end of a long hard road with a glass of pink champagne. (Not the ALL CLEAR ...but the All Clear for a Year - and we'll take that)

Hi - Paul here.

To all of you readers and commenters of my wife, Pam's blog.

 Thanks from the bottom of my heart for all the love and support you gave us these last few months.

Any of you who've gone on this dark and dangerous journey will know what I mean. To have people think of you at this time and give you a little lift just when you need it means more than you can know. Thank you.

I was asked recently... if my way of thinking has changed any since all this happened? Well I wouldn't know where to begin as to how thinking and priorities change, but one thing I will say is .... I don't think I can ever think of weather the same way again. The feel of rain on my face or wind in my hair, (let's face it - this is Ireland and we get a lot of rain and wind) I can smile to myself and think, what a beautiful day. Every day is a beautiful day.

 Thinking of all of you and yours who are still on the journey. We light a candle every night for you and you are never out of our thoughts. You know who you are.

Grá mor go leir agus go raibh míle maith agaibh ....as mo chroí...Pól O' Fhlíonn.

= (Lots of love to you all and  a thousand thanks...from my heart...Paul Flynn)

 

Pam here .... (NOT  The Quiet Woman)....The wind in your hair???? Wha'  feckin' hair???!!! LOL!) Love yer' guts Flynner.

PS...regarding Irish weather...local lore has it that " If you can see Howth Head then it is going to rain. If you can't see Howth Head it's because it is raining!

Great to hear from you - best approach - enjoy each and every day rain or shine!

Aye, but 'tis a soft rain!
I am sooooo glad to heat this news! All of Utah (well, at least in my house) are doing the "Happy Dance" for you!

And yes, as one who has come to the "nevermore" part of my journey ('cos I will not let the big "C" get the best of me)I can say I am thankful for every moment of this sweet life..

And for those still in the trows..let me say this..they're MANY ways to beat cancer..while some may not "survive" cancer- it did not beat them down- it did not take their spirit or their beauty..it did NOT win...
