  1. Yesterday was the one year mark of Alan's passing. I can't

    believe a year has gone by since I held Alan's hand as he took his last breath.

    I was surrounded by friends and family.

    I spent the day celebrating other Cancer Survivors as yesterday was

    The Annual Circles of Life Fashion Show. A show Alan modeled in for

    two years. All the Models in this Fashion Show are cancer survivors

    and the energy, inspiration and hope is unbelievable.

    Alan's brother Tom was there with me, and although we both struggled

    emotionally, we celebrated the stories of survival.

    I miss Alan so much, but as he would have wanted, I am moving forward

    with my life. I am taking Scuba Diving lessons!! The next adventure in

    my "new" life.

    My beloved Alan I miss you and will always love you.

  2. My husband had numerous transfusions, and if he was still

    undergoing treatment, they did not necessariyl give him a

    boost of energy. They did help with his breathing, and he would

    feel a little better, but not a big lift in energy levels.

    Prayers for you and your Mom

  3. This is why I only donate to the Cancer Center Alan was treated at.

    They have a complete Lung Cancer Team. They sponsor low cost

    early lung cancer screening. I sit on the Cancer Center board just to

    be sure there is a voice for lung cancer patients and their families.

    I have found National campaigns are NOT the way to go, and refuse

    to donate to any National fund. I at least have a small voice in how

    my dollars are spent with my local cancer center.

    Oh I know how much it hurts. I am quickly coming the the 1 year date

    of Alan's passing, and there are so many things I have yet to do.

    They are all pieces of him, just as they are all pieces of your mom.

    Everytime I "liquidated" something of Alan's it felt as if I lost him

    all over again. There is only so much your heart can take. So do

    only what your heart can handle. Let the tears storm come, because

    they help you heal. (My therapist, God love her as she is saving my life.

    has helped me embrace my tear stroms). It hurts becaused we loved them

    so much. I wish I could tell you it gets easier, and maybe some day it

    will. I am not sure when that happens, but until then we are here for

    you.
