Flori,
You are a true hero to me. I often marvel at your ability to take things in stride and just keep fighting. You have been dealing with this disease for so long, of course you are sick and tired of being sick and tired. On top of that your daughter has done exactly what you raised her to do - become independent and now is ready to move forward into adulthood. I know the pride and at the same time, sadness you feel; I have two of my own out there finding their way.
I pray that you find the strength you need to regroup and continue the fight with the same absoulte determination you always show. I know you will; you are amazing.
Much love to you,
