[Jean]

It is only natural to have those feelings...we are now a very special group.
We know and understand how precious each & every moment is. How lucky we are to be so aware of the beauty of each hour. To really know to enjoy the days and not "Sweat the small Stuff" ! We now have obtained an acute and sharp awarness of life, love and what is truly important.

After I was first dx. I was in a total state of fear thinking that I would not
live to see my grandchildren etc. - I mentioned this to my sister who has seven beautiful grandchildren. She answered me with "Everyone is fragile
and that she could get hit by a bus tomorrow." I told her you don't understand, "I can see the license plate of the bus." That is exactly the way I felt! Those feelings do pass and it does get better. Each day
brings new courage.

This monster disease takes so much - do not allow it or should I say
give it permission to steal the wonderful days we have. Embrace each
day with those you love and enjoy every second. Hopefully you will
find that it comes natural (like Mary Anne stated so well).

I hope you gain some peace and know that you can always reach out to us, we understand and will always support you.

Hugs,
Jean
