A much needed group hug...........

[Mary Jo]

Hello sisters and brothers....

I felt the need to start a thread as a way for each of us to hug one another (in a cyber kind of way). It's been a rough year. Our her2support family has grieved many, many times this year. TOO many times.

We all love those who have passed on and we here who are left are saddened by what this disease can do. Not only does it sadden us but it scares us. Everyone of us.

I hope you can "feel" my hugs to each of you....."feel" my "crying" heart and the sadness I carry tonight. We need to continue to be strong as we fight this disease but we also need to remember that "controling" this disease isn't anything we can do. Our loved ones who have passed on fought their hearts out to live but sadly their life was not meant to continue. They are now living in Glory.........with no more suffering....no more pain...........! They will be our angels of light to help us carry on until that day each of us are called Home.

Let us stay strong.......let us have peaceful hearts and let us have hearts that reach out in love everyday to all those in our lives. Life is short BUT it is sweet...........

I love you guys SINCERELY and my heart is hurting.

Feel my hugs to you as I feel yours to me.

Mary Jo
