All-

I feel like I've been asking for healing for my family alot lately! My Dad's having eye surgery Tuesday and if you can send out positive thoughts and healing for him I'd really, really appreciate it.

Thank you all in advance!

-Leslie

You can count on me, Leslie.

~*Megs*~

Will send Healing when in The Healing Sanctuary this weekend.

Love
Dave

I hope that all works out. Don't forget that surgery is the same that I went through...it's a long process, that I'm still going through and there are a lot of "side effects", but be strong and tell your Dad not to get lazy with his eyes. Get sleep, and rest the eyes when needed. There are good and some really bad days.. but it is needed to save the eyesight in the long run. Will send positive healing and thoughts to your dad and family.

God Bless,
Rafaela

Be quiet.
Listen from your heart.
Forgive."
I Listen to the sun, and it says:
"Nurture others.
Let your warmth radiate for others to feel.

I Listen to the earth, and it says:
"I am your mother.
I give you life.
Respect all that is around you.
Find beauty in all things -- living and not -- including
yourself; for we are all one -- not separate.
Be especially respectful to the very young and the very old,
for they are both very near God.
Give up the belief that you are a higher form of life;
there is no higher form of life.
We are equal because we are the same.
When you return to me, I will welcome you,
and I will set your spirit free.
Love and nurture your children;
cook good food for them,
and hold them very close to you often.
Hold me close to you often as well,
and I will hold you in return;
I will support you.
Have faith

I will send some healing today.
Bruce

To a safe, successful surgery for your father, and a speedy recovery.

John

Thank you everyone!

I had dinner with my dad last night and he seems more worried about this surgery than his heart surgery a few months ago.

I really, really appreciate this!

-Leslie

Some loving thoughts coming from RI, too. God bless.
Ellen

I'll keep your dad in my thoughts Leslie!

Also, feel a bit weird asking, but could people also keep Mr Quaife in their thoughts and (if its your bag) prayers. Anyone on hte KPS will know that hes going through a very tough time of it at the moment, and it saddens me greatly how someone could be so heartless!

Carrie

Leslie,

You have my prayers and thoughts. Julie

Leslie, prayers and healing coming up! And also for you and the rest of the family. These health problems affect all the close family.

Yes, Carrie...Pete is having a very bad time of it at the moment (emotionally). Thanks for posting that. We've had Ellie's Christening this weekend and I've not had time to get on the computer.

Olga

LESLIE,
FOR YOUR DAD

LOVE IS FAITH AND TRUST,
LOVE IS HOPE AND SHARING,
LOVE IS KIND AND WARM,
LOVE IS CARING.

I've sent an email to Pete and wish I could do more... what a bummer. What can you say? He's been treated infernally.
Best of luck to your Dad, Leslie. I'd feel pretty anxious about eye surgery, too! I can't even stand the glaucoma test...

Leslie, best of luck to your dad.

~Randy~

It never ceases to amaze me how cruel some people can be. I guess some people just don't have a conscience.
~Randy~

All-

Again, thanks. I let my dad know that others are sending out well wishes, and he was touched.

I agree about Pete! Poor guy, I am definitely keeping him in my thoughts and prayers.

-Leslie

Re: Pete. I just spoke with Randy, as I do not subscribe to KPS anymore. You could knock me over with a feather!

Pete, you are in my prayers tonight; lots of loving light coming your way from me. I'm so sorry this all happened to you.

God bless.

Ellen

Me either Randy. There are not too many things worse on this planet than deceit and betrayal.

There is a whole load more from Pete in todays KPS.
I am attaching his message. A lot of healing needs to go out to everyone concerned, even those who could be conceived as the "guilty parties". I know you will all help in whatever way you can.

Olga


"To all of you that were so kind as to reply the way you did. I treasure
every word that you wrote. All of your kind wishes meant a lot to me and
gave me the strength that I needed to carry on. Thank you, each and every
one of you!

Here's an update.

Wow! Did I find something out that NOBODY would
believe! Here we go.....

Apparently, Ole (Hanne's stepfather) had taken out a $75,000 insurance
policy on her mother. Upon her death he claimed that money and began to
live the life of Riley. This evening I rang Hanne and asked her if she
knew about this.

Her answer ....?

"No, he didn't! Its all a lie!" (etc etc etc) Every time I tried to tell
her that it was true Ole would put the telephone into a radio speaker so
that Hanne could not hear what I was saying. After a few minutes (when I
could speak again) I told her that it was entirely possible that he was
about to do the same to her, that he might have taken out a similar policy
on her and that he was waiting for her to die so that he could claim even
more money. She said that Ole would never do something like that.
UNFORTUNATELY I had just spoken with Ole's first wife, Susie, and she told
me that Ole had boasted that he had just received $75,000 on his wife's
death. (Unknown to Hanne he was down there in Tottenham, Ontario asking
for a roll in the hay for old times sake. Susie told him to go to hell!
Meanwhile Hanne thought that her wonderful guy had gone straight home to
Elliot Lake). It would appear that someone doesn't want to accept the
truth!

My wife is in complete denial about the entire affair. Somehow or another
she seems to think that Ole is a paragon of success and virtue. (bollocks)
Later, Susie tried to ring Ole and Hanne, trying to speak to Hanne and
tell her that what she had told me was true but Ole refused to let Susie
to talk to Hanne. Hmmmm.....

He just screamed at her and said she was this and she was that. BUT, he
didn't let her talk to Hanne ....? Ole made a killing (excuse the pun) out
of Connie's death and I refuse to allow him to also profit out of my
wife's death. Each day he is giving her all the alcohol that she can
drink, plus all of the prescription drugs that he can get from the local
doctors. If any of you had ever seen my Hanne you would know that she was
a beautiful person, eyes that glittered, a smile to sink all of the
battleships in the World and a personality to cleanse any hearts. And this
filthy bastard has her in his grip! When I picked her up on Monday last,
she was unrecognisable. All of her hair had fallen out, she had no teeth
and she had gained ten years in two months. Not even her friends here in
Marmora recognised her .... The bastard is killing her! I know that Hanne
is an alcoholic ( who isn't?), but when she was with me I could control
it. But when she is with HIM there is nothing I can do! I am pleading with
you all, don't let this beautiful woman disappear, like her mother, into a
little glass vial of ignominious ashes - as she will if we all don't do
something. Her heart is at the centre of many of the songs that we
composed, at the centre of the book Veritas and at the centre of all of my
paintings. Her stepfather (lover) is killing her deliberately for his own
monetary gain - in the same way that he let her mother die - to profit out
of their deaths.

Please, all of you, make your voices heard - in all of the World and in
Elliot Lake - (and the hell with the OPP who have threatened to charge me
with harassment). Even if myself and Hanne never again see each other I
have to save her life! Please help... She means so much to me....

Peter Quaife"

On so many levels I hope this story is a hoax as I am surprised Pete would post such a personal tragedy. I don't know the guy, so who am I to say? Assuming this is all true I am certainly sending healing out for Pete's Sake. WOW, I came up with that by accident. I hope he gets through this crisis and can move on to better things.

God Bless,

Bruce

If it's a hoax, I'm going to feel even dumber than after the recent 'Ding Dong' controversy (lol).

Its not a hoax Sharon and Bruce, although it has the makings of a Soap Opera! :-)

Pete posted his feelings to the KPS on Friday because he needed emotional support. The post I quoted today is a update. His original post is below. You can see how things have developed, and that his love for Hanne is now to the fore, despite what has happened.

I know it seems atrange for someone to pour out their heart like this in public, but I don't think he knows where to turn. His brother lives in Denmark and he is very concerned about him. I think that the more love generated through the Kink Kommunity the better. We also know that amazing things have been achieved on this site through its members pulling together on the healing front.

love to you all

From: Pete Quaife
Subject: A scream for help

This is scream for help!

Last Monday I received a call from my wife, Hanne, to come and take her
away from her stepfather, Ole Thomsen. She had, unknown to me, been having
an affair with this seventy year old man for quite a while. She told me
that she loved me, missed me and that she wanted to come home. I drove for
about twelve hours through the night and eventually picked her up at about
one thirty in the morning. I then drove home again with my wife and
arrived home. She assured me that she had made a colossal mistake and told
me that she would never again leave me again.

This morning, at five thirty, I left for my dialysis treament. Hanne
assured me that she would clean the house and that she would wait for my
return. When I left, her stepfather, Ole, was waiting around the corner.
He, and my wife, then proceeded to ransack my home, taking all of my
paintings that I had cherised over the years. They took everything. There
was no mention of her intentions - on the contrary, she assured me that
she would never ever again leave me again, that she would always love me.
I have spoken to her since and her attitude is one of "so what?"

I cannot begin to explain how I feel about this duplicity, all I know is
that no one can, even in their worst mind, attempt to do this to another
human being. I leave it up to you all to make your feelings known. All I
know is that I have been hurt so badly .......

To you all, trust and love, PeteQ

This sounds like a movie I just filmed for the ABC family chan. I will send healing and hope no one gets hurt any further. Seems like a sad situation that is not going to get better anytime soon. Healing will help.

Julie

I was outside last night sending out a whole bunch of healing, Pete, and I intend to keep at it. Please remember; karma has a way of sneaking up, and biting one on the arse. Or as the song goes:

"it's true what they say, every dog has it's day..."

Hang in there, Pete. We all love you, and will do what we can. God bless.

Ellen
