Hi, Its me-Cynthia. (Danniebelle's daughter)
I agree with you sometimes. I just don't get it either. I can't understand how my mom can go through all that she has, and still remain optimistic. I have seen her in different times throughout her "ill health" I have seen her so totally bed ridden, that she couldn't even sit up by herself. She had to have someone change her-and I do mean diapers. She couldn't feed herself. I remember when she had her breast removed, and her leg removed two weeks from each other. I also remember when she began recovery. I remember when she took her first "steps" again with her prosthetic leg. I remember seeing her sing again in front of an audience. Something I thought I would never see again. I was with her when she test drove her electric wheel chair for the first time. The joy in her face when she regained her independence. I remember when she told me that she no longer needs assistance to dress herself. I remember when she drove herself to the corner restaurant to surprise myself and my three children at breakfast.
I was talking to my brother Charles, who in my opinion-along with my sister, can totally relate to how I feel (We recently lost my father to complications of diabetes) and I told him, "You know, I can't live without Mommy right now in my life" I know that I am being selfish by saying that, but its true--I can't. She just recently came out of an operation this past weekend that quite honestly had me scared to death. Do you know that she pulled through. She called me yesterday, and aside from some to be expected tiredness, she sounded alright. She called to reassure me because she knew I was worried. I had the nerve to be relieved. Me, healthy me. So yes I do understand how you feel. My mom reminded me of something my grandmother (also named Danniebell) used to say....If you're worrying, you're not praying, and if your praying, you're not worrying.
As far as my mom's music, I am working to get them on CD'. I can tell you that it is in the works, and will happen soon. (Probably sooner than I manage to complete the web site)
Thank you Andrew for your support, and God Bless You my friend.
Always, Cynthia "web daughter"
: Happier than she has ever been - those are the words Daniebelle wrote in her 27 April update. I guess I just don't get it. I can't understand how she could go through all the things she's gone through and still feel happier than she has ever been.
: I woke up this morning singin the Danniebelle song "I will Sing Holy" Can't get it out of my head. I wish I felt holy but I don't. I do't know who is going to read this so I won't go into my minor troubles - when compared to Danniebelle's.
: Does anyone know if Danniebelle's earlier muisc is going to be put on CD. My only copy of her first recording on Light Records, is a cassette and it is worn out. I can't wait for that recording to be put on CD
