Hey Laurie!

Thanks so much for checking back in. You are the Rock Star of Motherhood after chemo/treatment and are a light for many.

I think we all have that little box of recurrence fear that we have to look at every once in awhile. I think that is OK and maybe just keeps us on our toes-----just as long as we don't keep that box open all the time, spilling fear into our lives and robbing us of the joy of NOW.

Enjoy those wonderful children and congrats on a wonderful life!
