Re: Going through a difficult time

Shiela you are one of the most remarkable woman I know. I draw strength from you and all you have had to deal with over the past 7 years. I can so relate to many of your experiences with your parents. For the last 5 months I have been the primary care giver to my Dad. This is no easy task for a person with my health problems. The cancer has always been my easiest problem to deal with. It's all the other health issues that day to day play havock with my body. I look at people like you and it reminds me how fortunate I am to wake up every day and be able to lead a pretty active normal life. You are a true inspiration. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Hang in there.
