Love Letter to Life 12.19.25 The Hidden Disease

Dear Life “This is a great PetScan” the oncologist said, later adding, “The kind of lymphoma you have is very tricky. It can hide out in your body.” I know this, but today, we can celebrate excellent health.

I thanked Dr Herbert for working with me since 2022, after two years of “big guns” chemo and Stem Cell Replacement did not work. He said, “You are a brave and unusual person who has asked for what you needed. Not every patient can do this.”

My message is: Please be your own best health advocate. Your medical team wants this even though it can be uncomfortable. Doctors are not gods. But they want miracles, too.

Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Love Letter to Life 11.29.19 Expect Miracles (Reposted)

Dear Life, The days leading up to Solstice lose a little light while the darkness grows longer. My heart’s desire and gratitude deepen in this twilight of mystical stirrings. I have candles lit 24 hours. It is the season of Lights.
Hope holds out her hand and says, “Expect Miracles”. I do.

Love Letter to Life 08.21.2025 Rose 1930 – 2024

Dear Life, A year ago, my mother Rose, passed from this world. She is still a force of energy making visitations in the form of bees, butterflies and “bling”. She loved all things that sparkled. Rose had a deep hope to meet her first grandchild and my daughter, Tracy, who was released at birth for adoption in 1968. This dream came true in 2021 after Tracy and I reunited through Ancestry. Rosie did not quit before the miracle. Mom you are loved and missed by many. Let Rose be an inspiration.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Love Letter to Life 05.11.2025 Happy Mother’s Day!

Dear Life, Happy Me! I was reunited with my daughter in 2020 after she was released for adoption in 1968. After 50 years of searching, I put my DNA on Ancestry.com. Tracy found me the on the same day I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lymphoma. Mother love surged through me and my life force has defied the odds. I am here, healthy, and celebrating our love. Another gift: my mother got to meet Tracy and have a relationship before Mom died in Aug 2024. To all mother’s and families, miracles happen. Keep the faith and love one another. Feeling lucky!
Your’s Truly, Pamela Rose

Love Letter to Life 01.14.2025 5 Years

Dear Life, Five years ago today I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Large Cell Lymphoma. That evening, I received an email through Ancestry.com from my daughter who I had released for adoption 50 years earlier. We connected the next day and now have a strong, loving relationship. A miracle. I have been through Stem Cell Replacement, Immunotherapy, clinical trials and ongoing Chemotherapy/cancer drugs until Sep 2024 when my body said, “I need a break”. My bloodwork was normal yesterday. I feel the best I’ve felt in 5 years. I live a day at a time. Miracles are happening every day. Thank you Life.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose

Love Letter to Life 10.16.2024 Daughter In-Flight

Dear Life, My daughter, Tracy, arrives tonight for a 10-day visit. Woke early with excitement. Plans with friends are being made plus a road trip to Jemez Hot Springs. I released Tracy for adoption in 1968. When she turned 18, I began a search for her that went on for thirty years. On 1.14.2020, she contacted me through Ancestry.com, the same day, I had been diagnosed with Stage 4 Large B-Cell Lymphoma. I was given the gift of hope and love beyond measure. A miracle happened that day and continues each day. Don’t quit before the miracle!
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
