I wept tonight...
Okay, If you look up sappy, melancholy, New Year’s-sentimental person in the dictionary, there must be a picture of me…
For some reason I went back and read my very first post from early 2009 when I found y’all. And I was overwhelmed – AGAIN – by your loving responses to my post. Courtney, Bill, Steph, Elaine, Woman of Steel…….and so many other sweet new friends.
Then I read the posts from Joe and Vickie H. And my heart was heavy…and so so sad to lose friends that I have never met in person but cared so much about.
Then…..I read Elaine’s post and her wonderful, encouraging success story!!! Thank you again, Elaine.
Let this be the year the cure for breast cancer....ALL cancer...is found!!!!!!
HUGE hugs and Happy New Years to all of you!
Maureen
