For Chery aka Momma C,

Starbuck8 aka Starby and I have been talking about doing this for a while, so here it goes. Chery, we hope you don't mind.

As many of you may know, Chery has terminal cancer, and she’s recently taken a turn for the worse.

Chery has been a member of AMHD for many years; she is a wonderful person, a great listener, and a great problem solver.

Chery is always there when she’s needed, call on her and she comes running, ready to give a hug, a kind word, whatever is needed. Now she needs us, she needs our support during this difficult trial.

What can I say about Momma C, there’s so much to say. She is everything rolled in to one, and I, for one, consider myself blessed because she is my friend.

Tears are running down my cheeks as I’m writing this, I don’t know what to say, how to describe someone who is indescribable?

I know that all of you want to give her the support that she’s always given to us on AMHD. It’s our turn to give a shoulder, to lend an ear, to be there for our wonderful Momma C.

Hopefully you are all allot more eloquent than I am.

Chery, all I can say is this, I love you dear, you have made such a big difference in my life. I’ve never seen you face to face, never held your hand, never gave you a real bear hug, but that doesn’t matter. I see your heart every time you write something on this site. I see your soul when you talk to us. You are an angel on earth, a bona fide angel, and you are loved.

What a cute little blondie, and your grandson is adorable too.

Great pics Chery, so nice of you to share them with us.

I sure hope that new therapy works well for you. We know you are strong, and you can kick some royal butt against those nasty little scouts!! Cheers to you Momma C!!

Love and Hugs from the little girl that first asked if you could adopt me, and if I could call you Momma C! You've got sooooo many children now to take care of now! What have you been doing with your nights? LOL!!

I loved seeing your pics when you sent them to me, and I meant to comment on how sweet little baby A is. Those eyes are some real lady killers!!

Only a very special person can reach around the world, and touch so many hearts, and minds, I for one thank you, for taking time, and just being so darn special, to so many.

I guess I am not as tough as I thought I was Chery, I am sitting here typing with tears running from my eyes... "Indescribable" does not begin to to speak to how I feel about you my dear. You and I go back over a year and a half, and every time we "spoke" your first concern was about me....me, can you imagine?....Wow (sorry...I had to stop...couldn't see my keyboard)....... damn...

I have posted many times about how much I miss my mother and what a great adviser, friend and consultant she was to me. When she passed, you were one of the first to help...there was so much pain. Your sincere caring and help was so needed, but...you were there, not just once...you were there for me always.

If anyone would have told me that someone living half way around the world, that I have never seen in person could mean sooo much to me, I would never have believe them, never. But you do Chery, you do.

All the posts on this thread sum up how I feel about you, you are SPECIAL, very special. If anyone ever came close to being for me what I lost over a year ago, it is you.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you. You gave me the strength when I needed it.

There are so many forms of love Chery, My love for you is admiration, respect, caring..I feel like you are one of my family.

Well, I know that mom is looking down on you and smiling...and that you helped her boy when he needed it and nodding her head in agreement...

Much love to one of the best people I have been blessed to call my friend.

Oh, Chery, i feel very sad for you.... i don't know what to say.... i met you so recently and you're perhaps going soon... but this short elapsed time was wonderful with your presence, and that of the others. i was perhaps the first time that i could talk to people so openly. I know that you're a fighter and will always be for me, as you proved on one of the other boards. And you have a wonderful grandson there! Keep strong and don't be too sad. I'll pray for you as i did before and perhaps i'll even try the green apple candles for you. I love you much, you were like a mommy for me. Peace be with you, always.

Big big hugs,
Jeremy.

WOW
How did i miss this thread

Chery I can only echo what everyone else has said on here , I have been on this site now for a year and have found so many good people who I have never met and yet I still classify as my friends.

You are one very special person , one who gives people hope and i can't imagine how many hearts you have helped to heal with all your great and caring advise. I wish you all the best with everything you do

Chery

Aw, Friend, that's such a cute picture. Thanks ever so much. You too have already been 'adopted' so call me Momma C any time.

I always wanted a big family and am happy to have this one - better late than never.

Chery

Thanks dear, call me Momma C any time - all of you can.
One favor you can do for me is send me a nice postcard from Mauritius please. My address is: C.M. Inglehart, Am Stuhl 4, 66849 Landstuhl, Germany. I've always wanted to visit there.

Oh and by the way, any and all postcards are welcome, so all my children - I urge you to send some from where you all live too. P.S. Pass it on.

When I no longer need them, Alexander will have on heck of a collection - I hope.

Nite,nite for now, going to try and sleep for at least an hour.


Just thought I'd send a few postcards from one of my favorite places too.
