Thinking of Dale....on her birthday...saw a cat carrier at the vet that was slightly smaller than a Mini Cooper and thought of Orange...Hello to family and friends who stop by here today..

Hello Cathy...Mary...family and friends checking in silently...Dale lives on in our hearts and thoughts and smiles and tears.......She would want some great emoji of curly hair here I think so picture a personalized Dale emoji here! Perhaps her "I read the MeTiMes" character...

March 4th...a mantra for every day but especially today. Love to all family and friends who check in here today. Got the giggles today thinking about how many times Dale and I would laugh until we cried. It made me sad that I can type the sentence "it doesn't need underwear, it's a cookie" and know no one else will just burst into laughter. (Or maybe a recipient of the original print version of the MEtimMEs will remember Dale was making a loud to-do in a shop over the fact the girl gingerbread stuffed doll didn't have on any underwear. Finally the exasperated clerk said it doesn't NEED underwear....it's a cookie).

Dale - I couldn't help but think of you this past weekend, when I walked out of the house in my slippers. When I realized what I'd one, I burst out laughing, remembering your story of the time you went to Thanksgiving dinner and realizing after you had sat down for the meal, you still had your fluffy slippers on! Your stories and humor still live on. I miss you, my friend -

Wow, Dale has been gone over 10 years and even I failed to check this page on the 10th anniversary in spite or remembering the time and date. I remembered again when I caught up with Laurie W.in Phoenix last week.

Dale, I wonder if you had any idea how many friends you had and still have. You would be proud of me for 1) I've finally gotten a computer and am learning how to use it; 2) I've figured out how to get to this site (months of trying); 3)your "sMilE" is no longer my only CD. I think of you often and miss you. As I deal with some major health issues, I don't know how you got through all the various treatments you endured. Your strength, courage and positive attitude are qualities I admire and try to emulate. Thank you for being my friend.

A day late (and always a dollar short) but all day yesterday I was marching 4th thinking of you. I think it speaks volumes about your life and spirit that I don't remember the anniversary of the day you left us anymore but I will always remember the anniversary of the day you came into our lives.

I was signing something that I had to date. I was thinking "March 4th, now that has some significance." After repeating the date for ahile, I thought of Dale. I wondered if her site were still up. I knew Dale when she was very young. Our parents were friends. Not only is it up but so many remember. What a testament to her life the annual visits to her site are.

I came across this caringbridge on day while updating my son's journal. He is fighting a battle with Ewing Sarcoma now and we update regularly. I have to say that the humor was something I could relate closely too. Some people who watch me and my children wonder if we have taken the short walk to the looney bin. We tend to laugh at what would make most people cry, but it's how we deal with this life. I am so happy that the journey has just begun for her and that she is now a spiritual being on a spiritual journey. Thanks for keeping this site and allowing total strangers to feel some sort of closeness.

Waterllo, IL USA - Thursday, October 9, 2008 7:31 AM CDT

I first discovered Dale's journal when I was checking out the caringbridge website to decide if I would use it to update friends and family after my husband was diagnosed with leukemia (I did and it's been great). Thank you for keeping her words online-I read them at a particularly vulnerable time when I was very afraid for my husband and my family. Not only was I laughing out loud at her journal entries, I was comforted by Dale's matter of fact manner in addressing her cancer and treatment. I hate to use the stereotypical "courage" in describing Dale but I felt her courage in the way she continued to live her life fully and managed to see the humor of life, even when lived with cancer.

I wish you success in publishing her story; it's one I'd like to share with many friends.

It's been 4 years since my Whitney died of bone cancer at age 13. She loved to entertain us with her whit and humor, she certainly would have loved Dale. I only wish that I could have somehow brought the same humor into what was a devastating nightmare- I think my daughter needed that, but I couldn't provide it. Sometimes laughter is the best medicine. Much thanks to Dale

I was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer on May 5th this year. After going through three of my scheduled six treatments I was rushed into surgery on July 18th to have my appendix removed. The following week I had yet another surery to clean up the pocket of fluid that formed where my appendix was (after two days of telling my surgeon that I could not afford the risk of infection due to my cancer) and the following day I developed pneumonia. I was put on round-the-clock antibiotics and given 2 pints of blood before finally being released from the hospital after 5 days. Two days later I received my 4th round of chemo (which had only been pushed back by one week).
While I have many days of positive attitude and a keen sense of humor (according to my family, friends and oncologist) I must admit that there were days when it all seemed to be a bit TOO much! I have not been able to read Dale's entire journal; however, I have read a good portion and realize that it takes a strong spirit to battle what life throws our way. Reading Dale's journal has made me realize that there is so much more to my life than I thought was possible at one time. My daughter is a senior at The University of Texas and even though her Dad and I have been separated for over a year he is right there for me in all ways. I realize that I have been truly blessed in my life and Dale's story has confirmed that for me. She was an awesome person and I wish that I had known her personally!

I too would love to own a book with her journal entries. I actually printed it because I can't stop reading it. My mom is going through her second round of cancer. It's been five years of no cancer, and now Stage 4 Breast Cancer. Hopefully, reading all of Dale's entries will help me A: understand what my mom is going through better and B: learn to accept what is put in my path. I can tell how much of a fighter she was, and I pray that my mom can find her strength too.

Serendipity led me to this site of Dales...my younger sister had a tragic bike accident several weeks ago and has been in a coma since. We, her family, friends, coworkers, acquaintances , and people who have never yet met her have come to rely on our "Caring Bridge" to stay connected to Paige's progress. I too was born on March 4th, but NEVER got a message from that until reading Dale's obit. It's just what I needed to remind me to stay strong and hopeful, and to MARCH FORTH through this challenge. Thanks Dale!

Langdon, ND usa - Wednesday, May 21, 2008 11:20 AM CDT

I came across Dale's journal after looking at a page from a co-worker. I also had breast cancer. I could relate to her feelings of not sweating the small stuff. When I was faced with a life threatening illness, I realized that the things that bothered me so much didn't seem so bad anymore. I would have given anything to trade those days with the cancer. I wasn't even close to being as strong and as humorous as Dale.... who am I kidding... I had no humor. I admire the strength she had and the ability to still make people laugh. I only hope if I'm faced with cancer again that I can be half the person she was.

EP, MN - Friday, May 9, 2008 9:58 AM CDT

I stumbled upon Dale's journal entries while checking on my Dad. He is in Boston Mass right now, recovering from surgery. He was diagnosed about 6 months ago with Pleural Mesothelioma. It is a still somewhat rare form of lung cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. He was exposed some forty years ago while spending time in the boiler room on a ship. Its been a rough couple of weeks. We recently discovered that his tumor cannot be completely removed, or his lung as planned. It has connected itself to his aorta...a major complication. I wanted to say thank you for the smile that I couldn't quite contain while reading Dale's words. She seemed like quite the woman. God Bless all of you, and What a wonderful site this is. I am a full time student and mother of a small child. There is no possible way that I could be there with my dad and uncles. This website has saved me so much frustration and so many sleepless nights!

My wife is batteling Multiple Myeloma and just 2 days ago told her team of doctors, after one of them was trying to share his recent problems, "Hey, this is all about me!" They all cracked up. So we surely would have enjoyed Dale's company and humor. We missed her but thanks to her emails from beyond we can still relate. Wonderful lady. She can haunt me anytime.

My family is experiencing a very rough time right now, and to top it off our family is splitting over the little things. I read her life lesson on "not sweating the small stuff" and I feel compelled to fix the rifts in my family. I thank you so much for sharing her story. I'm going to make a phone call right now to one of those family members, and not let another minute go by.

I, too,stumbled on this website. My son's 11-year-old friend just found out that he has a treatable cancer. Cancer, nonetheless. I have learned so much in such a short time about life in general and the lessons that we all have to learn. I was so inspired by Dale's story. Thank you for giving everyone the opportunity to know about this remarkable human being.

My birthday is March 3, 1961 - it took me a bit to get the March 4th idea (evidently I lack to great humor that Dale had) but now I wish my birthday was March 4th as well. My daughter is named Caryn and is seriously looking at Drake to study journalism. Hmmm. Thank you for continuing to share Dale's site with us. What an inspiration to all.

Arden Hills, MN USA - Monday, April 14, 2008 9:00 PM CDT

I am 28 years old and recently diagnosed with leukemia. I am also a member of CaringBridge. I can see from Dale's story that she felt the same way about this website as I do. I can't believe she had such power to keep fighting her cancer every step of the way, even knowing what the end result would probably be. I can only hope I continue on with half the strength she had. In a world where you feel so alone, you finally realize there are people out there that feel or have felt the same way you do. And, Dale, if you can read these from the "Great Beyond" I just want to say thank you for sharing your journey.

Port Richey , Fl - Saturday, April 12, 2008 11:58 PM CDT

Thank you for allowing even those of us who did not know Dale share her story. It makes me wonder how many other caringbridge sites would be an encouragment to those of us who are going through difficult times. I for one would like our sites to be searchable. Like perhaps on our site we can add a yes or no to a question "Do you want your site to be searchable?" Seems like that would solve the problem. Always nice to know that total strangers, but brothers and sisters in Christ are praying for your loved one!

Again, thank you for sharing your story. We have been truly blessed! Laughter really is the best medicine!!!!

I just came across Dales journal, and I am totally amazed at what one person can go through. I have a friend that has a web page on here now that has cancer. She has two little boy's, one is four and the other is ten months old. She had a tumor in her spine and thought that was where the cancer started, but now it is in her pelvic area and hip. Now the doctor's know it started in the pelvic area. My husband had Polycythemia Rubra Vera which is an incurable blood disorder that turns to Leukemia, he passed away ten months ago. He had been sick for six years, this is a very strange disease which causes blood to pocket in the organ's and drowns them. He also had a heart attack and stroke. His spleen was removed and had burst into 14 places when the doctors took it out from this disease. Dales journal made me realize that yes we had been through a heck of a lot, but you can always look around and find someone else that has gone through things that are worse. I am so sorry for your loss, she is for sure one person I would loved to have had the privilige to meet. WHAT A LADY!

Breast Cancer can turn total strangers into sisters can't it? One woman, her family, her friends, sharing her journey through technology touching so many others traveling that same road. Donna Caltagirone, the oldest of three, was diagnosed with breast cancer in December 1994 a few days before her 35th birthday. My sister lost her battle almost two years to the day on December 15th, 1996 just three days after turning 37. I wish that we had known of Caring Bridge back then. My sister was a bright, loving, funny person that would have been less scared and less lonley with such a site and the love and support it can bring. Thank you for all you do Caring Bridge and bless Dale's energy and her family - she was an amazing woman and I imagine many people hovered around her like moths to a flame! I myself read her journal and sat here smiling and crying at turns but amazed none the less by her reactions, her thoughts to what was happening. Thank you for sharing with so many. I did my part thanks to Dale, in memory of my sister and all the women over the past eleven years that I've know with it and who lost thier battle to it. I setup a reoccuring donation to help ensure that CB is there for anyone that needs it. We don't have to tell you what an amazingly unique and brilliant woman your sister was! Peace and love....

To the family of Dale,
You have been down an amazing road and learned much from a wonderful, spirit driven woman. I too, have been on this journey with my granddaughter, Amanda Daniels. She also has a caringbridge website. What we learn from Dale and Amanda are things no one can ever take away. Amanda is 8 with Ewings Sarcoma. She was given a 10-15% chance to live and like Dale rose to the challenge! By the grace of God, Amanda is doing her last chemo treatment March 8 and is cancer free at this time. Keep us in your prayers as you are in ours. A friend, Sue Daniels

Wow,
She was and amazing woman and your family is so blessed and lucky to have had her in your life. We have a teacher in our school who has only a few months to live with cancer and I was hoping to find her in the caringbrige site, but didnt and I came across reading Dales Story, I am a nursing assistant work in a small hospital and I have been so blessed to work with some patients in hospice..My dream has always been to have my own hospice home or somewhere, where the family can be comfortable and patient. My experiences have made me a stronger and more compassionate person for the sick and dying. As I read her story tears couldn't but overrun my cheeks and sadness in my heart. I hope that life has treated you all well since her death and only happy memories keep her alive. Life is too short, and life is really long only if you know how to enjoy it they way we all should. This world would be a much happier place. God bless and thank you for sharing your story it makes me want to really get going on my hospice work.

I am so touched by Dale's beautiful sense of humour, joie de vivre and breath-taking spirit that battled through her illness.

My thoughts and prayers are with Dale's family.
Please know that she has touched yet another person's life.
Her courage is truly inspirational.

I was told of this website from a friend whose son has a journal page. I saw Dale's picture and was drawn to explore her site. My sister Carolyn, passed away on 9/28/07 from Breast cancer that had also spread to her liver. She was a beautiful young 59, and full of life just like Dale. I wish so much that I had known about this website for Carolyn. It would have been such a positive, healing and loving tool for her to have. Carolyn was told on a Monday that there was nothing else they could do for her and she left us on that Friday. I noticed Dale situation was very similer (time) and I felt very drawn to read her words. I know I was meant to find this and reading her journal will help me in so many ways. I want to thank her family for still sharing her. They were both amazing women and how privilaged we were to be a part of their lives.

I just happened upon Dales story while checking the page of a friend of mines 5yr old daughter who was diagnosed with cancer last March. She is currently in remission and is just a real trooper! I was very intrigued by Dales story. She was without a doubt an amazing woman, a real fighter. To think that over three years after her passing that her words are still inspiring is awesome. I know that her family and friends are truly proud of her and very blessed to have been a part of her life. God Bless You All!!! Kelli

I laughed out loud many times and came away from the reading refreshed and with a more positive outlook on life/attitude. It would inspire many people if there were access to it in book form.

A friend of mine has a nephew with a caringbridge page. While on the main page, Dale's story was listed, and that provided a link to her page. For 2 days I have been reading her journal in my every spare minute. I started at the beginning (knowing how it ultimately ended), and read until I finished. I laughed out loud - numerous times. I feel like I was given a special glimpse into the life of an extraordinary woman. I found myself imagining her pets, imagining her couch, imagining her "slide" shoes. Her ability to create such profound storytelling about her personal life is amazing. This story has inspired me. I wish everyone I know could read it, and don't you worry..I'm referring them to it!

Found your Humor just in time!!!

Having personally experienced much of the anguish with a loved one passing from breast cancer recently, it was with great joy to read of another's perspective.

My wife Stacy also shared the gift of humor when confronting the confusion of diagnosis and acute discomfort. It was when her organ failed to play its tune that I was comforted by Dale's words and the knowledge that they would be together enjoying each others comedy.

Knowing the spirits thrive in sharing their stories, I have passed along dale's stories to Stacy's circle and invite Dale's circle into Stacy's.

I lost my 16 year old son to the cancer beast in Feb. 04, so I have been down a similar road. I only hope that I can face the rest of my life with the wit, humor, and love that Dale faced hers with. Peace, Dale.

I find your humor and smiles on earth to be a gift from God for those who feel like crap right now (me). For me it is systemic lupus. But, lets hope my journey measures up to yours. I know you read from heaven. So keep the smiles going, give my love to my daddy Arnold Hodes who lost his fight against Lou Gehrigs disease (May 2006) and until I get there.....God bless you sweet lady. kisses from below, Debbie Wewer

As I was checking this Caringbridge site to get updates on a former student and the child of another former student, I happened on Dale's story. I have been engrossed for over three hours. I don't know the words to express what I have read, but a few that come to mind are inspiring, touching, REAL, remarkable, tragic, and enlightening. What an incredible woman! How amazing that Dale's words continue to affect us in such a profound way. I would love a cd if any are still available. Gail ganders@magnoliaisd.org

I hope this doesn't rekindle the hard and sad times that Dale's family must have went through but, I felt I had to leave a message to tell you what a blessing it was for me to read Dale's story and some of the journals and well wishes. My daughter Abigail was born on July 14th. She has been diagnosed with a very rare condition called Wolf Hirschorn Syndrome which is a partial deletion of cromozone 4. This could effect any number of vital organs for my Abigail. The doctors have tolds us that 90% of babies diagnosed with this do not make it through the first 2 weeks. Well today is day 18 and she was removed from the ventillator yesterday and is breathing ON HER OWN with a little help from a SiPAP machine. The support we have received has been tremendous just like Dale's was by the entries I see in her guestbook. Her story and the support we have received for Abigail has brought back my faith in the human spirit. Again I hope iI haven't brought back memories of a sad time in the lives of her family I just wanted you to know how inspired I am by her story.

I stumbled upon Dale's story as a complete accident while going to update my own caring bridge site. I am 31 years old with advanced breast cancer with metastasis to the liver and reading Dale's entries brought a smile to my face - I am so sorry that you have lost this beautiful person but she lives on through the journal - she has helped me to be more hopeful and to know that I really need to enjoy the time that I have left ( however long that really is ). I am also glad to see that someonelse besides me wanted to write their own obit - everyone thought I was wierd but I wouldn't want it any other way - Thanks so much for allowing us to read Dale's entry - I am sure you miss her terribly but just leaving this for others to read is helping her to live on by helping others. - She certainly has helped me! Thanks!

What a wonderful woman Dale must have been! I did not know her, nor did I know of the caringbridge site until recently. We don't always understand, but God takes the best for reasons he fully comprehends. Our 18 year old son, Andrew, died four days following a severe head injury sustained in an auto accident on July 16th, 2005. We never had an opportunity to say goodbye. He was simply there one minute and on life support the next, with no brain function. I am so happy for your family to have had that wonderful time in which to share Dale's journey, to witness her strength and to be able to smile at the fact that somewhere, @ some point, she wrote her own obiturary. What a beautiful Angel sores in Heaven now. Please feel free to visit Andrew' site, light a candle or leave a condolence to let me know you stopped by. I have met so many wonderful people through this site. Thanks and May God Bless You all...Debi Collins

I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year at the age of 31 and have been communicating with friends and family through Caringbridge ever since. I stumbled across Dale's story on, strange enough, the anniversary of her death. To say I was riveted isn't enough. I literally have spend the past three days GLUED to the computer absorbing every detail of her life, her humor, her intelligence. This absolutely MUST be published! Please, please tell me that publication is in the works! What lucky people you were to have known such a special person.

Dale,

It has been two years---and it seems just days ago I was laughing while reading The Me tiMEs. You continue to inspire your old friends, and all the new friends you've made while reading your journal.

God bless,

Cathy
