Support and Inspiration in Memory of LTS

[NYMomof2]

<p>Thank you for the inspirational quotes, ADad and aibarr. Aibarr, I am sorry about your teacher. I still remember the spandrels you designed in honor of LTS.</p>

<p>Ah, I was reading a thread on care packages in the main CC Parent Forum, trying to get some ideas for Halloween, and I stumbled over this, from LTS:</p>

<p>

I absolutely LOVE to send the goofiest, happiest, silliest fun stuff I can find. Bottles of bubbles, slinkies, silly string, decorations, interesting or unusual toys, sometimes a really cute stuffed animal (not too many of these though), frizbees, etc. Also like to send fun food. </p>

<p>I think that even when I’m in my senior-most years I will still be sending my daughter happy, fun mail.

</p>

<p>My heart did a little leap, and then I realized the thread was started way back in 2006 and someone had added to it today.</p>

<p>Oh, I miss LTS. And it makes me so sad that her D will not be getting goofy care packages from her mom. Life is short, guys. Let’s enjoy our kids.</p>

<p>incamom- I know what you mean, I have read old threads and come across posts from LTS and gotten teary realising she is gone but not forgotten!</p>

I am convinced life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it.

<p>Picking up on ADad’s last post:</p>

<p>

We were now about to penetrate a country at least two thousand miles in width, on which the foot of civilized man had never trodden; the good or bad it had in store for us was for experiment yet to determine . . . However, as the state of mind in which we are, generally gives the colouring to events . . . . I could but esteem this moment of my departure as among the most happy of my life.

<p>I have thought of LTS often lately, and wondered what she would have been saying about current events. I miss her voice so much.</p>

<p>That post about the care packages is so poignant, momof2inca. She had so much so live for, and she gave so much.</p>

<p>I came here to say I thought of LTS yesterday. On Yom Kippur there is a time for remembering those who have passed on, and I counted up the friends I have lost to various cancers, and thought of LTS, whose real name I never knew.</p>

Paying very close attention to your intuition is perhaps the most important rule of all.

<p>I miss LTS. And the community of CC’ers supporting her.</p>

<p>^^ Ditto for me.</p>

If I am not for myself, then who will be for me? And if I am only for myself, then what am I? And if not now, when?
