i know these sorts of threads usually get deleted, but this isn't a usual thread.

our own hippiemom went in for surgery for ovarian cancer early Thursday morning. i'm having a hell of a day here. she should be home by now, and it doesn't seem like she'll be home soon.

i've been able to talk to her on the phone the last couple of nights, including the day of her surgery, and she sounded good, but yesterday, her lungs started getting congested. it's not good. she hasn't even been able to walk yet. she should be home by now.

i miss her so much.

we can't talk now. so, hopefully, next time we do i can read some of your support words to her. it would mean a lot.

    Hippiemom is the best. My thoughts are directed to her now for some positive vibes. Try not to worry too much, Steppenwolf, you know she wouldnt like you to get yourself sick on her behalf.

    I've never met her but I've known her on the boards for some time, shes a very positive person and she to my mind is the type of person who can recover from just about anything in some way.

    so some extra positive thoughts from me to her.......

    love you hippiemom. please come home.
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    Laura is one of the strongest women I know, I'm sure this will be nothing for her to shake right off. Soon she'll be back on the Train inspiring us all the same way she always has. Much love sis. <3
