Less work to do in November, amirite? Kept meaning to do it and have finally accepted that it just isn‘t happening, so…..Christmas all year! 😂😂🤪🤪#wdncw #wedonotcarewednesday @dabbe

AmyG Why put it away when you are just going to have to take it back out??? 2mo
Amiable I‘m guessing your tree is artificial! 😄We cut our own tree and by Dec. 30 I‘m sick of the needles dropping on the floor so the tree goes out the door before New Year‘s. 😖😀 (edited) 2mo
lil1inblue Is it still up from last year, or are you just way ahead this year? 😉 😂 I had a friend who left hers up all year, and just changed the decorations for different holidays. I thought it was genius. 2mo

dabbe HYSTERICAL! Keep that Christmas spirit all year long! (horrible paraphrase of A CHRISTMAS CAROL) 🎄🎄🎄 2mo
TheLudicReader 🤣🤣🤣 2mo
CBee @AmyG you get it, my friend 😂😂♥️♥️ 2mo
CBee @Amiable artificial, yes 😂😂 2mo
CBee @lil1inblue still up from last year, sister. I thought about changing up the decorations too, that really is brilliant - but ain‘t nobody got time for that (not me anyway 😂)! 2mo
CBee @dabbe it‘s the gift that keeps on giving….year after year (best part of the movie Christmas Vacation, IMO)! 😂😂 2mo
JenlovesJT47 😅😅😅 My aunt had a fake tree she would decorate for all the various holidays. I miss her. 💜 And hey, my mom watches Hallmark Christmas movies all year round so you‘re in good company! ♥️🎄🎄🎄 2mo
CBee @JenlovesJT47 oh, I‘m sorry you lost your aunt. She sounds super cool ♥️♥️♥️ Glad to know I‘m in good company 😊 2mo
JenlovesJT47 Thank you! 💜💜💜 we lost her to pancreatic cancer last year. #cancersucks 2mo
CBee @JenlovesJT47 oh Jen 😢😢😢 I‘m so sorry. Cancer DOES suck. Pancreatic can be so hard to treat too. I‘d love to hear more about her anytime you want to share! 2mo
JenlovesJT47 Aww thank you!! 🤗 Speaking of her holiday trees, she collected gnomes of all shapes and sizes. At her memorial service, my cousins had all of her gnomes lined up where we were eating and everyone got to pick one to take home with them. I thought that was a really cool thing to do. 2mo
CBee @JenlovesJT47 ♥️♥️♥️ that‘s so lovely. I also love gnomes 😊 I bet she had quite the collection! 2mo
Eggbeater My Halloween window stickers wouldn't come off of my storm door. So now, every day is Halloween at my house because I'm too cheap to replace the door. 🎃👻🤣 2mo
AnnCrystal 👸👏🏼🥳👌🏼💖. We need the magic of Christmas all year this year...and now it's Christmas in July 💖🎄💝. (edited) 2mo
CBee @Eggbeater solidarity! Halloween and Christmas all year!! 2mo
CBee @AnnCrystal this is true! Fitting that I posted this on the 2nd day of July 😊 2mo

I'll Always Miss You | Raine O'Tierney

Today would be my Uncle Glenn‘s 75th birthday. We lost him 14 years ago to pancreatic cancer. This is one of my favorite pics of him holding me when I was a baby. He was a straightforward, no nonsense person who loved his family deeply. He will always be missed. 💜 (purple is for pancreatic cancer awareness)

Today‘s your birthday
and I feel you smiling down.
You‘ll always be missed.

Dear Brave Friend | Leigh Gerk
post image

For those of you who might not know, it‘s with a very heavy heart that I share the loss of a dear friend that I “met” here on Litsy…Elisabeth Anderson (@eanderson).

Elisabeth fought hard and bravely against cancer for 4 years before gaining peace last month.

She was a sweet, dear person, who shared insightful and often funny reviews of her favorite books. And she especially loved her some Kim Stone. 😉😊🕵🏻‍♀️
🔽

robinb Elisabeth was 37 and leaves behind her husband Zach and their 5-year-old son Matthew. Please keep them in your prayers/send positive thoughts for healing and strength as they move forward.

She will be missed. ❤️

Here is the obit link which includes a beautiful photo slideshow of her life and loves: https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/fort-wayne-in/elisabeth-anderson-1229... 🔽

I got my first invitation to read a book to review with a link to the book on Kindle Unlimited. I have 2 good friends with kids fighting aggressive cancer. I've lost too many good friends to cancer. #cancersucks
Anything that alleviates the pain and suffering is gold in my book. Even if it's only for a moment. This book is precious.

My brother Greg died on August 18 of this year. I had the privilege of being right there with him when he embarked on his journey to the hereafter. He told the best stories, was an amazing dad, and above all he loved fiercely. Here's a photo of him doing one of the things that he loved most. #cancersucks #thoughtfulthursday
Thanks @MoonWitch94 for asking this question. Sharing this is cathartic.

Too Tired | Ann Turnbull
post image

Really tired the last few days; the radiation is starting to really affect me. All I can do these days is just watch TV and play games on my laptop; reading just takes too much effort at the moment. #cancersucks

RaeLovesToRead Really sorry you're having a tough time. Hope you have some good games to play 💕💕 Sending best wishes 3y
Pageturner1 🙏 🙏🙏 3y
melissajayne @RaeLovesToRead it‘s to be expected to be tired for a bit after radiation treatments, as this is when the treatments are actually starting it‘s most important work. I will just have to pace myself a little bit more and rest as often as I can. I also had a couple of weeks that were busy with family. 3y

ravenlee I wish you rest and recovery. My mom‘s last bout of radiation treatments really left her exhausted and sore for months. I hope you find some equilibrium. 💓 3y
melissajayne @ravenlee the nurse said to my mom that the next two weeks that the exhaustion will hit really hard and that it should start to get better the next four weeks after that. 3y
Anna40 Feel better soon! 💕 3y
CarolynM Whatever you need💕 The books will still be there when you‘re ready. 3y
Ddzmini Hope you feel better soon 🤗 3y
