Re: Another Twist in the cancer
Dear Sheila,
I read your post and just kept saying "oh my" - I haven't been here an awhile and came back to check up on my friends and I find you with such devastation in your life and yet I don't detect (still) any bitterness or defeat at all - just some annoyance - and that with humor! You are still so "YOU" and that's why you are still here, still the amazing woman who was one of the first to jump in and help me here when I showed up 5 years ago!
My prayers are with you and your family - keep on moving forward with your usual lovely, amazing self!
Love to you, Donna
