(DEDICATED TO
FARRAH FAWCETT)
My Flash Fiction Friday 55 is dedicated to Farrah Fawcett. I felt the desire to dedicate this week's serialized segment to her not because I was a particularly wild fan of hers (although I always thought she was gorgeous - full of light with a radiant smile that dazzled), but for a more personal reason.
The diagnosis and course of Farrah's illness is being mirrored in a woman I was introduced to last summer by a sponsee. I have placed my hands on her and this always creates a very special bond. I have blogged about her before. She is a single mother with a 4 year old son. She is vivacious, lovely, full of life, but slowly being beaten down by cancer.
I ask everyone who reads this installment of "THE BOX" to, at the same time, say a prayer for Elizabeth.

She is remembering her confusion feeling so uncomfortable with his concern over where she was going, who with, and when she would be back. These were signs he loved her. Weren't they?
Why did it feel wrong?
She continues, "he hit me the first time about a year after we were married. I returned late.”

Thanks PG, for this touching 55.
Prayers will be said indeed...
Thanks for visiting, thanks for playing, and have a Wonderful Week-End...G
FF defined a decade, that is for sure.
Your 55 is painful, but at least we know she is getting help.
a great posting for your friend as well as Farrah.
Nice.
Prayer said here too.
I wish you ahd a whole bunch of 55's so I would not have to wait for a week between breaths.
Good job...and Farrah was one of my "angels"...now she IS one of my Angels.
This was very touching. I watched her documentary on my last flight from CT, and she so intimately shared her progress and struggles, in order to help others.
Thanks for reposting last weeks 55...now I get it! Very clever.
May God bless and comfort Elizabeth and her family as they walk this journey. Thank you PG
the difference between caring and possessiveness...
Anna, any abuse is painful. What we do to each other is painful. Nice tribute to FF.
I'm with Steve. I feel like I hold my breath between "episodes". Great 55 PG.
I cannot thank you and Steve enough for coming to meet Kristin and I, how amazing to see each other face to face! You all are amazing!!!
You post is amazing and prayers are being said for Elizabeth.
Thank you!
Gabi
Prayers and good thoughts for your friend!
Thanks PG for sharing this wonderful post. I deeply delighted for your grateful works for your friend and Farrah. It was my pleasure to get to know you. Thank God.
it gives me chills.
Elizabeth, I'm asking God for comforting for you and your family (friends included); His healing touch to continue to come to you in spirit, mind and body; and love in abundance to be showered over you.
