None the less, I will take your example and march on, living day by day as the gift it is. The alternative, is far more grave (pun intended). I wish it were easier for you. I wish the bag gone. I totally understand that part. I am hugging you from here...even when it seems I'm not around.

I had been thinking about what separates those who hate their life because they don't have the right things, and those who can go through their darkest hours and still inspire others.<br />You have SPIRIT. If there is a Devil, he through some serious shit at you.<br /> And you still shine.<br /> You don't have to shine every minute of every day.. You don't *have* to shine at ALL.<br /> But you do.<br />You shine honestly.. That's what shine is; showing what's real.

I think that makes the surgery worthwhile even if in the end it was not necessary. In a way, it was necessary.<br /><br />U will find a way to handle and cope all the hard things u will have to endure. U have the strength. In times of weakness, lean on ur family and friends and God. Someone will always be there to carry u when u need it.<br /><br />As always, u are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for allowing me and others to accompany you on this difficult journery. i know I don't know how you feel, I'm just a spectator, a loving one but a far away one. I hope love can travel, and can be felt by the receiver. If that's so, you know what I feel.<br /><br />I always feel so honored when you visit my blog. Don't worry about what you comment, I like knowing you remembered me. Besides, poetry is not for everyone, and mine is an exercise, something I need to practice in order to improve.

You have been through something that would knock anyone down. But you have such strength that I know you will get up again. Your life has changed with everything you have been through and it's no wonder you don't feel witty. Cancer is a MoFo and we must celebrate when it's knocked down and out, stomped on by drugs and surgeons. No cancer in your lymph nodes is AMAZING! I am cheering about that and I hope you hear me all the way across the country. I'm cheering for you, for your wisdom and touch choices. And I give you my support for healing, for resting, for letting others care for you. I am so very happy to see you posting here again.
