NOSSA SENHORA APARECIDA

Demorei muitos anos para visitar o novo Santuário de Nossa Senhora Aparecida. Mas foi um dia abençoado assim como a viagem em sí. Fui para agradecer graças recebidas sem saber ainda que já estava doente.

Agora rogo em súplica ardente a intercessão de Nossa Senhora na minha melhora e forças para lutar contra o cancer que assola meu organismo.

Nossa Senhora Aparecida, ajudai-me a lutar contra a doença, intercedei por mim junto a Jesus, para que eu tenha forças para suportar o tratamento. E que quando eu estiver curada e em condições de dirigir novamente, possa visitar novamente seu Santuário para agradecer de todo meu coração.

FIRST REPORT AFTER ILLNESS

I am at home finally!

Recovering day by day, very little progress each day, nevertheless hopeful that I can get back to my life once again. Being with my girls, traveling around to see my sons, that is my life!

Recovering has been as hard as can be. I have pain in my stomach and inside where the stitches of the surgery are and there are many.

I had pneumonia and had to stay at CTI for 18 days, without leaving the bed. When I got better and was lead to walk it was a sacrifice. I thought I would never make it again. My legs did not obey, I felt such despair, my limbs and reduced muscles ached like hell each step I gained. My back were injured for such a long staying on bed and hurts yet.

This is the hardest time of my whole life. Events that even in a blink of an eye, never crossed my mind that could occur to me. Now I have to fight this unknown enemy with the power of God and the strength of Jesus and Holy Spirit. But I feel so desperately impotent to fight against it.

Thank you Lord for the bless of being back home.

AT THE MALL

Afternoon at a small caffée, aber.....sehr sympatich.

Anyway, Lorena applied the light make up on us and on herself. Great good day!

This is outrageous! Nobody does it better, don't they?

Born to sunbathing, for sure. I love that illness!

One day I feel very well, next day very weary. The following day, very well again. Next day fever.

It has been like this, for a couple of months. But I am losing strength.

But life goes on and Lorena is the greatest water splash companion.

There we go to the pool! So God help us!

LORENA SWIMMING

Amazing little fish.

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?

I thought this was a new beginning. My plans were to get married to the most wonderful man I knew since long. It had to be postponed. I was redecorating my place for the big event. I wanted to make it the coziest place on earth, just like a piece a heaven down here. Nevertheless, my wishes are still the same and so are my expectations. It meant a newer destination to my life and the dream come true for us both. We are praying devotionally to the Mighty Lord to my recovery and

overcoming from it all. I beg of God, the strength and faith to face the operation and the subsequent treatment. I plead to God the holy touch on the doctor's hand and to Holy Ghost to light my mind and never lose faith.

THANK YOU LORD FOR MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO SUPPORT ME WITH SUCH DEVOTION.

AT THE HOSPITAL

Nobody could guess, nor even me, that on this very day I would be in a hospital.
Ilness and suffering coming to my life, no warning, unexpectedly.
All plans hopelessly postponed, sine diae for returning.
