(((Sandra))),
Now you've done it. You've caused rivers to form around me as the tears just keep coming. You and others have spoken what has been in my heart for a long while.
After I lost my husband , I continued to come here and some of my family and friends couldn't understand why. But it's the bond among those of us "who get it". It's the bond among those of us who know what is meant by " the new normal". It's about helping to pick one another up on a bad day , praying for those in need and celebrating with those who are doing well. It's about appreciating the opportunity to share each and every day with people who really know the meaning of life.
For me, it's not just about my husband now. It's now about my mom, who was diagnosed last year, and it's about me as a caregiver, family member and friend to other cancer patients. Some days I come for help , some days I come to give help and on most all days I do both.
Sandra, thank you for starting this thread. This seems like the perfect time to, once again, thank Katie and Rick for creating this place for all of us. Love and Hugs to All.
Love,
Sue
