Michelle,
I am so glad you wrote in. I have been so worried about what I wrote and have been worried that I may have upset you. I don't know why, but I felt so strongly when I read your post and was very concerned for you when you said what's the point. You are absolutely BEAUTIFUL, and have so much to be proud of- the fight that you have been through, your children and a wonderful husband. My heart ached for you , I think because I've had some of very same feelings you expressed, and I know how they made me feel. I don't even know you, but felt so connected to you when I read what you wrote- I had a very strong reaction, and spoke only out of love and concern, please know that. I have also told my closest friends that from time to time I might need a swift kick (or two) and so far they have been more than willing to accomodate :-). After reading what I wrote, you might like to stand in line :-).
Love, Kelly
