Dear Hermiracles,

Congrats on the remission. I'm so glad you are here to complain about those pesky side effects! When we fear we are dying, we don't think about how we feel, we are just concentrating on staying alive. But once that fear subsides a bit, we can take a deep breath and look at our quality of life. Once you reached the goal of staying alive, you want to do something with that life. You want to enjoy it. So naturally you begin to feel all those aches and pains. So to me it's a very good sign that you are complaining. And ofcourse we are here to listen to your grumbling and virtually stroke your hair and say: "This too shall pass. We hear you. We know."

In the mean time, I'll do my happy Dutch clog dance to celebrate your remission.

Love

Jacqueline
