Marejo
Your post saddened me....I lost one Mary Jo this year, don't know that I can bare the loss of another....we all have different beliefs, thats what makes us so individual. I feel the need to voice my opinions sometimes, but they are that, opinions, the way I feel...I hope I never offend others with the way I feel, if I do, it is certainly not my intent...I believe in the power of posiitive thinking, and in the power of prayer...I do not think I would have survived the last 5 1/2 years without both. Did it alter my disease???, probably not, I'm back on chemo again, but it has made this whole ordeal easier to deal with, so I continue to what works for me. Now my prayers will shift, and be that you will miss us, and come back to the board...you are such an inspiration with positive thoughts and prayers...don't know what I'll do without!
Like I said, I lost one Mary Jo this year (my best friend), I don't want to lose another.
