Dear Life, I am upheld and sustained by love. I waited 51 years plus one year (due to Covid) to meet Tracy, my daughter in person. The Spirit of Love was always present. Now this amazing, beautiful woman, is a part of my daily life. I have gratitude beyond measure.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
Dear Life, Thank you for your love. Chemo side affects made me take a trip to the Emergency Room on Saturday morning. Doctors stabilized and sent me home within a few hours. I am grateful to have a respite for 10 days before I return to the hospital for round two. This chemotherapy is a whole new rodeo. I am learning to become a Chemo Bull Rider!!! Your generous outpouring of support and donations uplift me.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
Dear Life, I am happy be home with these beautiful flowers placed between photo of my daughter and sister and painting by Richard Kurtz. First round of treatment is almost done. Receive an injection at the Cancer Center this morning then I have ten day reprieve for my body to restore before going back into hospital for second round. Thank you all for the support. You keep me moving forward with love.

Dear Life, Last week, I went with my sister to a beautiful garden. Today, I go to Christus Hospital where I will receive in-patient treatments for several days. I’m bringing a green plant, my computer, phone, Bose mini-speaker, books, drawing materials, and most importantly, my life force upheld by all your love and a Higher Power. Thank you everyone. Here we go!

Dear Life, A Caring Bridge site has been set up for me so family and friends can follow my healing journey and help support the additional medical services and living expenses needed. This is a another new experience of the life. It is humbling, scary, and amazingly showing me how to live in the moment while preparing for the near future. Your love, prayers, and support are deeply felt and appreciated.

Dear Life, I will start treatments this week. Port placement is Monday. Tuesday- Saturday, I will be in-patient at Christus Hospital oncology ward where I will receive all the professional care needed. Then home for 10 days followed by two more hospital stays in May. We begin the first part of this treatment journey in Santa Fe where close friends are supporting me. I appreciate all the love being sent from everywhere, far and near.

Dear Life, I woke up and asked myself, “how do I want to be in this day?” Every moment truly is asking this. I have a rigorous chemo treatment plan out in front of me for the next several months however I know: I live a moment at a time. Right now, the light is beautiful in the loft, I love and am loved beyond measure more than words can express.

Dear Life, I flew to CT on April 2nd, (without my computer hence no letters) where I visited for 10 days, reuniting with family. It was a miraculous time of love, heart-felt sharing, and joy; the first in-person visit with my daughter, Tracy, and her children, Laurel and Christopher. My sister, Arlene, picked me up at the airport with a huge hug. On Easter, we surprised our mother when I walked into the kitchen. She stopped breathing! Then burst into tears of joy. My nieces and nephews, ages 2 – 32, were a delight to be with. I am filled with so much love and ready for the road of medical treatment and recovery in front of me. Here are a few pics of the trip.

Dear Life, At 15years old, I gave birth to a baby and released her for adoption. On 1.14.2020, she connected with me through Ancestry. Then the pandemic hit so we’ve had a Zoom relationship. Today I fly to CT. Tomorrow, I will meet her in person for the first time. I return to Santa Fe on 4.13 to begin chemotherapy. I have two kinds of Lymphoma cancer but a heart of love and Spirit of life. So grateful for your ongoing support. Thank you.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
