Thank You

I have a quality that I do not like about myself and that is when I don’t know what to say, I usually say nothing. This is one of those cases; however I cannot remain silent. All of the comments, words of encouragement, donations and prayers are so appreciated. I am a very private person, and putting the news about my cancer out there was a very hard decision to make. I feel very vulnerable ...yet very humbled. I want to thank Anji for creating the You Caring site. If she would have asked my permission, I would have immediately told her no, but I also understand the need for those who care and want to help us from afar. Accepting help, in any form, is a lesson I will be learning thought out this trail. Currently my sweet step sister, Amy, is going through trails no one should ever have to endure and I remember reading a quote on her Facebook page. “You never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only choice you have.” I am trying to be strong. I am trying to stay positive. I am trying to deal with each day as it comes, and all of you are helping more than you will ever know. I also want to thank my dear friend Jodi for writing a beautiful post about me and our friendship. And to all my friends and family, even though it does not feel adequate enough in mind, THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart.
