Joy, wonderful news! 6 years. You have been and are such an inspiration to me. My daughter turns 12 next week. A very hard age for her and me.

Dear Joy,
I was so moved by your post.
I could not stop thinking about you and your daughter.
What you have done in between those years since the
stage IV dx.
You certainly know how to live and love, and I wish you ultra many more birthdays to share with your daughter.
Hugs,
Jean

On a side note, I love The Boss's "The Ghost of Tom Jones". (whisper to Joy, nobody else listen, the offer still stands for me to take the next jet out there to help establish some ground rules, if you need it. Also, I've got a mini-me here that I often ship out to take care of my light-work, if it's only a minor adjustment that's needed. Rest easy Sister, Big Brother Bill)
