Dear Terri

I guess I really don't have anything to add that everyone else hasn't already said. I just want you to know that what you are feeling is completely normal.

But you have lots of women here who have gone through what Ruth has gone through and we are here and we are doing well and so will Ruth. Give Ruth a hug from me and then give yourself a bigger one. What a partner you are to go through this with Ruth so FULLY engaged and informed.

Please promise to stay in touch with us though. We will want to know how its going every now and again.

Love to both of you
