Hi Annette- and look at you "stable - stable - and Stable"! God willing you too will make it another 12 - and your beautiful daughter will hold you in her arms at her high school graduation. When I was diagnosed with mets 12 years ago my children were 11, 15,16 and 18. I remember railing in anger in my prayers "where is the justice?!". How could a divine provinence allow a 70 year old chain smoking junk food eater live and at the same time allow an otherwise healthy eating excercising mother of 4 die?? And now here I am 12 years later. It is my joy and privilege to hold you and your daughter in prayer. Set your sights high angel, how lucky your daughter is to have a mom who no doubt cherishes every single second that is spent together. Godspeed.
