Thank you Flori for sharing this. Your daughter's thoughts truly touched me. I have 2 step daughters (20 & 22) and 2 of my own children (18 yo daughter and 15 yo son) and I have seen and felt the pain that they feel throughout this fight that invades their sleep, disturbs their thoughts and disrupts their day to day. Both their dad (and mom for the step daughters) were dx within 12 mos from me and everyone has been fighting! They are so affected as young adults and it is so painful to watch them deal with it and still want them to be so hopeful as young people entering this world.

Thank you again for sharing with us.

Hugs (to both of you),
Patricia
