Can Always Count On My Friends

Girls, thanks, I really needed that. I needed to know that I am doing my part. As for loving him, oh, some people travel a lifetime and never find my treasures. I am trying right now to get past the fact that we have not had enough time together, (together 15 years/married 13) maybe it is my own sort of self-pity. It took me months to get past crying when I seen an older couple holding hands and looking into each others eyes with such complete and true love, I can pass them now. In fact when I used to pass, I would say a special prayer for us but I now include the couple. Life without him can only go on if we are not missing a thing and I can only accept what is & will happen by knowing that in my heart. When he was dx w/stage IV we had no time for denial, I embraced the facts and never ran and with time so did he. I know that I always try to be a better person with each coming day, but I never thought that cancer would make me an even better person. Although I am not the one here with Breast Cancer, I am a caregiver and I feel that my point of view during this most horrific moment in our lives can help you. You see, you are all someone's "Princess in Shining Armor" and all we want to do is LOVE YOU and to our best abilities for the longest time ever. You girls can always call on me for any caregiver questions. You all may be 'professional patients', but I certainly want to be a 'professional caregiver'. I pray and think of you all, my friends each and every day. I am so thankful that you are here for us through this very needy time in our fantasy story call our lives. We have never feeled so enriched and blessed: we are grateful for your love, support, but most importantly: Thanks for being you!!!!! >Waiting For A Miracle>Believe51...(Marie G)
