Talking A Special Message For Christine and Joe

Of course I know we constantly commend you both for the great job you have both done here with the site. I need you to know how I love it here, "This is the best website hands down" (quote from Nicola). I have grown so very much here with my extended family and do not know how I have spent my life without them. We feel like we have known each other for years and I cannot tell you how my life feels complete. This is the only place I can be myself and I have learned so very much, including the things I did not want to learn. Thank you for unselfishly giving back to Breast Cancer and allowing us to be able to do the same. I am now a 'Professional Seasoned Caregiver' (LOL)!! I feel so enriched and certainly empowered.

In a nutsell, thanks for being you!! And My Loves....thanks for sharing your journey with us and allowing us to share ours!!>>Believe51
