Tears of joy and relief!

Hooray! My arms are around you Katalina. Five classes crowded into the Little Theatre and sang to you and lit a candle for you. Many loving tears were shed and much loving energy sent from our warmed hands and our loving hearts “hasta San Francisco!” We sang “Kwaheri” to your cancer and L.O.V.E. to you! Dearest, we love you so much and can hardly wait to be put to work in helping you in whatever you need! Rest! Peace! Thank you Howard, Diane and Brian!
love Therese, Lars, Dominic and Linus

We kove you.

We also love the whole support crew!

Glad to her the good news. Best of luck on your recovery.

O Kathleen, wonderful news! How could it be otherwise, with so many storming heaven’s gate and other portals on your behalf.

Much love and wishes for deep healing and dreams coming true.

Amber

What incredible news! Michaela, Katy, Phoebe and I wrote to you, read our poem/notes, lit your mango candle and sang This Little Light of Mine to you while sitting on the daisy-strewn grass in the glorious sunshine at the park this afternoon. (We also had some ice cream and decided we want to have ice cream with you soon, soon, soon!)

Muchisimos abrazos,
Lois, Michaela, Katy, Phoebe

Ditto Amber’s comments! Your Thursday chefs (Barbara Fuller, Marcia Adams and I) can hardly wait for you to return to an appetite so we have a good excuse to see you. We’re eager but patient ’til Caitlin signals us.

Good thing all these abrazos are virtual if you have lots of stitches.

Susan

We’re celebrating tonight! We will continue to keep you in our hearts, our minds, and our prayers. And wait anxiously to give you big BEAR hugs, gently of course!

Dear Kathleen
Thank God!!! God is smiling down on you. May He continue to bless you as you regain your strength. We will continue to keep you in our thoughts & prayers.
We are so happy to hear the good news. We have constantly checked the computer all day for any news. Tears of Joy & sore cheeks from smiling!!!!!
Much love & gentle hugs!
Love, Uncle Dave & Aunt Patti & the rest of the Nyharts

Hooray! Hooray! That’s great news!
Sending you our love…

Dear Kathleen:
Last year I looked up the root of of the word “surgeon”–which used to be spelled with a “ch” (like chiropractor.) It comes from two ancient Greek words for “hand” and “art”.
That’s what I had center in my thoughts for you today.

You give as you receive; this blog has been a gift to us who orbit it as well.

Best, Kim S.

We are thrilled!! We joined with the others in song to you at noon today. (thank you, Therese and others for your efforts)….those little angels at DeLaVeaga sang their healing songs of energy and love to you today….and (among other things) it worked!! -Much love, Pascha, Charlie, Emilie and Bella ox ox

Oh my gods and goddesses! All day I kept trying to imagine Kathleen without her bladder and I just couldn’t do it. You go Kathleen! Keep feeling strong and whole!

Kathleen, I am just thrilled at the good news and so are the rest of the “pray-ers” here at the Center. You are held in prayer and love. Now, rest easy and heal ever so gently. Love, Sister Aileen

Thank you.

YES YES YES! Thankyou life…can’t wait to see you back with Howard and kitties in your Santa Cruz home!

Dane

Well done, my dear and glorious sister of the heart, well done!
You are our marvelous flowering Katalina. And will be for a long, long, long time.
Great angels wrap you in their quiet wings tonight. Sleep the peace of healing.
Our love and prayers continue.

With so much happiness, gratitude and relief.
Your friend, forever, Jenny

Hi Kathleen,

Our deepest sympathies go out to you and our family.
We are so happy to hear the great news! You are constantly in our thoughts and in our prayers!!
Life is full of surprises, some happy and some sad. It’s all about how you deal with it. What is most infectious about you, is that you are always smiling and you always make people laugh, no matter what the circumstance is. You’re a REAL TROOPER, GIRL!!! You mean so much to us, and everyone that has ever met you.
We wish that we could spend more time together, but life doesn’t always allow for that. It would be nice to see you more often.
We are just so happy to hear that you got through this hurdle and that you are moving right along to happier times! We are looking foreward to seeing you soon.

Love always,
Danon, Joey and all of the furry kids too!!

Hope you’re doing well. Sending you lots of light and love. Patti

Hi Auntie Kathleen (this is from Breegan, age 4)

” Auntie Kathleen, I love you and I wish I could see you. I wish you had a scooter right now, so we could ride on bikes and scooters. Sometimes I draw happy faces and sometimes I see happy faces. I want to give you a big hug.”

Dear Kathleen,
I asked Breegan to tell me a message to write to you just now, and despite the random scooter comment, I think her message pretty much nails it. We love you, we want to see you, and more importantly, we can all now focus on your recovery and make it a happy faced reality.
We love you & I can’t wait to see you on Saturday. Dibs on your Jell-o!! (kidding..ok, maybe not) SMOOCH..SEE YOU SOON!!!! Love you.
Meg

Maestra Katalina,

I told Juanito this afternoon that you were all fixed up and hopefully would be back to school before too long. He said, “I know because she’s my English teacher and we have fun in her class and she teaches us too much.” We feel lucky to be a part of the Kathleen Flowers fan club. So glad to hear everything went so well. How can we get a movie to you? Hopefully you’ll be back in beautiful Santa Cruz soon to recover and rejoice

love,
Juanito, Shannon, and Aliah

Hi Sweetie, We are very happy to hear such good news! So many were praying and thinking of you today! Around 4:00 I felt so tired I finally had to take a nap. Probably when all the support group were able to have a sigh of relief. We are really looking forward to seeing you when you are up to it!

Tough as ever!

To Brian and Diane and Michelle and Howard, and everyone else involved, I send my affection. Thank you all.

Hi Kathleen,
What wonderful news! God is good! So are the UCSF doctors!
Love and continued prayers for a quick recovery, Ginger and Roger

Clearly that talk you had with your organs, worked! I am learning a lot through your journey. Thank you for that. We miss seeing your smiling face at school.
Lisa, Tim and Cole

Last night I wrote you when I read the fantastic news. But I don’t see it maybe I did not hit submit comment. I m so so happy to hear that the surgery went so well. I am anxious to hear how you are feeling. Continually in my thoughts and heart.

love and more love
diane

What extra good news today! Dreaming all those dreams of the future, and opening to the flood of love coming your way must certainly be impacting every cell in your body. It was joyful to spend an hour yesterday, while you were in surgery, sending you light and healing and prayers. Just know that you are wrapped in a huge, communal embrace from those of us who love you!

Hi Kath
Was so happy to hear the good news that you are doing so well. You are still in my prayers for a speedy recovery so you can be home soon.I just know you will miss those gourmet meals you are getting.

love

Jeanne

Dearest K,

Gracias a la vida, gracias a dios.

Hi Kathleen, I am so glad to hear you are doing so well. I am planting a veggie garden as we speak and the deer are eating it as fast as they can. Love, Uncle Pat
