This is how it looks now, it has been filled by so many of my new friends Gloria, Shirley, Sue, Susie, Terry, Kyle, and Dee. All these people have been so good to me, and I can't tell you how much all of you mean to me. Now the only thing I want for Christmas is.......Peace! This is a wonderful place, we have so many good people here. Life is to short to let petty things come between us, believe me I know. There is a impressive body of knowledge here, I have learned alot from you guys, somethings I wish I hadn't learned, I understand the trust issues, I came to you all with the issues, and even after a bit of time still there are some that don't trust me and that is OK I understand. The thing is there is alot of history here, and that should be put aside, we have lost some good people to this battle. So I am asking, one last time think about everything, do you really want to lose friends over differances, for instance not everyone belongs to the same faith or political party, but we still are friends with them. What makes this any differant? Now that I have gotten this off my chest, I will tell you all something, not even my best buds know, only one here knows. I have battled cancer twice, I am 36, and I have found three lumps. So believe me life is to short, enough said.

Tracey, you are such a sweetie. Thank you for posting this and I'm certainly putting you in my prayers.
Oh my goodness Tracey. You have been such a sweetheart to me and all the time you have been facing this alone. Your friends are here for you Tracey. You must be so scared. You have mail.
Meant to put this picture here...Sorry
so very nice Tracey! Looks like a calm place to relax and gather your thoughts. Is that a justica? sp? in the back there?
Tracey, you will be in my prayers.
Tracey, can I move in with you? That is a great greenhouse you have there. Is the red plant in the back the Justicia or the other one you posted about? Beautiful.
Hi Susie........glad to see you here. It has been too long.
That is it, Brazilian Red Cloak. I have two more of them but from where I was standing you can't see them. Those are the ones I will be cutting on a little later. I had those brought back for me so I could share them. I took a couple of pieces of it to Susie and she showed me how to fix it up. Thank you for the prayers, I will need them to get through the holiday's.
Tracey, your are right . . . there is so much beauty in life and I try to remember that and to be thankful each and every day as I get out of bed. I am so sorry about your find. Do all that you need to do. I will pray for you to have the strength to handle yet another battle. I will email you tomorrow when I get home.

Tracey - my thoughts are with you this Christmas - take care.
Tracey . . well said. I will have you in my thoughts and my prayers. We will all be pulling for you.
Susie . . I too am glad to see you post, miss you.
Tracey beautifully said. That would be the best Christmas present we could all ask for. WE all want peace on earth why not peace and goodwill on our favorite garden site. You are in my thoughts please take care.
Tracey my thoughts and prayers are with you. I Hope you have great holidays at Christmas and more.
Tracey,your words carry an excellent message,life is way to short to let good freinds dissapear from your life.
We are a big family here,and if you think about it, families do fight.But there is to much love for any of us to walk away over a difference of opinions.
Plus you guys are way to much fun!!!
Tracy ,you will be in my thoughts and prayers
and can only hope that everything will settle down and all of us get back to doing what we love
Praying for you Tracey. Hope everything turns out ok for you, wish you the very best!
Tracey,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you. Even though I have not faced this battle there are other battles just as devestating and I have battled that my whole life. Like you I do not like conflict in my free time, there is enough of that in life and at work. Peace, what a wonderful thought!!
CC, I couldn't have said it any better.
Tracey my friend, I've come to know you quite well the last few months and must say I trust you fully with anything. I'm so sorry to hear your news. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Now we need to go back to what we have always done here on this forum. Love each other and grow our Brugs.
It is the holiday season and I hope all of our differences can be put aside. It's time for friends to be friends again and share our love of growing Brugs.
Time for Peace on Earth AND the Brug forum.
Tracey, I am so sorry to hear the sad news.....I wish you a successful battle and may God be with you all the way.
Hey Guys.............. it very well might not be cancer. Lets direct our prayers towards it not being that but hoping that Tracey is just being a lumpy lady!!!
It looks like you have a lot of prayers and best wishes coming your way Tracey!
Tracey,
I was just going to say the same thing as Kell but she beat me to it...I know you are going to be just fine.
As far as the Brugs it was a joy to send them to someone that appreciates them as much as you. Take care!!!
Thank you for the Snowbank.
Ohhhhhhhh, now this is more like it!! Group huggies and smoochies all around!! Let's all make peace before the sun goes down!! Send some love around today!!!

Anybody got any cuttings of an olive branch?
I sent all mine out a while back.
Tracey, you are so brave to post something that you haven't even told your best friends, not to mention I feel your post comes straight from the heart. I know we haven't had the chance to become friends, but I hope one day we will.
Just my luck - soon as I ask for something, nobody has any left.
Roz, I found another, check your mail.
I can get enogh small cutttings of Olive Branches for us all!! Who's the first taker??
"eyes"
I'm hear to say that if I need to send out an olive branch to anyone, all they need to do is write to me. I've always said that if I'm wrong about something, I'll be the first to apologize. I do think that this is the season to get things squared away, but feel that whatever problems there are, if there are any, it should be between the people involved. I really don't want to know what problems others have. The holidays are stressful enough without reading about personal problems, between others, online. I wish everyone here a wonderful Holiday Season filled with love and peace.
Edited to say that my post was not in any way referring to Tracey's problems. I have all the compassion in the world for anyone who has health problems. Tracey, I know you know that I wish the best for you and any other DG folks here that need my wishes and prayers.
