Tribute to Paula,
This past weekend the Myeloma community lost a bright
soul. She used knitting to spread love
to my family and many others. Still to this day my kids only know of Multiple
Myeloma in the context of the “Myeloma
Buddies” that they cherish and sleep with every night. When Ruby was born
we got a special special package from the UK. Paula had knitted a beautiful
baby blanket for Ruby, the one she clutches to every night to comfort her when
we leave the room for her to go to bed.
Paula’s generosity and sense of humor was something someone
newly diagnosed with MM thrived on. She is going to be dearly missed, but never
forgotten by our family. Our kids will one day know her, as they have known the
gifts she has given them.
Paula – you will always be loved and thought of by the
Brabbs family. Thanks for sharing yourself with us. We wil continue to doMMinate on your behalf.
Wonderful tribute Phil. We are all thankful for our Buddies, which will always keep us close to Paula. I will include these pictures on the collage for Bernard.

ReplyDeleteI am willing to bet there are hundreds of people across this globe who connected with Paula and benefitted from that exchange... She is already missed.
ReplyDeleteI too am sorrowful that Paula has passed but she gave us so much. I have written to her family and hope they find comfort in knowing how many lives she touched.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are doing well Phil. I have made a great comeback after a tough 18 months.
We love our Myeloma Buddies!
