~Thanks For These Last 2 Years Together~

I wanted to post yesterday and give thanks for the last 2 years of your loving support but was too busy. March 30, 2007 was the first day I visited this site under Marie G. That was before I realized that I needed a stronger name to fight this battle with hubby. If I think about it I can still hear the panic and sadness in my voice, the sheer terror of it all.

My have we grown through the many baby steps we had to endure. Our lives have become better than ever with you all in our world. For this I cannot thank you enough. We love you all and find that we now want to be here rather than we have to be here, if you catch my drift. Thanks again for your unconditional love and support. We revel in your achievements and we walk besides you through the darkest of your nights.

Some people do not understand that we want to be a family, they think it is too depressing. I tell them that there are few things that are more depressing than cancer, that it is not all bad. This place is a part of the world only we can explain and understand. It is sad that we must, but important that we do.

As I sit here and cry, I once again thank you for sharing your lives with us. Thanks for letting us into your world. My heart knows this journey would be more challenging without this family in our daily lives. You are all an inspiration to us that filters hope and love. We have been through so much together through this time and I could not think of better people to have this close to my heart. I could not think of better people to let into my soul.

And friends, the amount of hope and miracles we witness are the many wonders we grow on. Here is to you, a post all of your own, a tribute from the heart. May we be blessed enough to witness together the miracle of a cure or something very close to it.

PS: Although I have always 'Believed' you all have helped me to continue to do so.
