I hope this post finds you continuing to ...Hi Sally<br />I hope this post finds you continuing to survive. At this point, that is really what it is about. Not about thriving and making people happy and fulfilling expectations. You are in the fight of your life. In June, my husband had an unrelated stem cell transplant at the Hutch as well. We are back home in MA with our children, He is absolutley miserable, but alive. I just wanted to tell you that your words were so important for him to hear. He and I both feel the guilt of having many people's support and love and not being able to either reciprocate or at the very least return a call or post a happy comment. You may think that your thoughts were just negative and sad, but for others going through this, they were perfect and reassuring. I am so sad for you and your family that you have to endure this. Please know that you have my deepest respect and gratitude for even taking the time to tell your story. Please add us to your long list of supporters. You are in our thoughts.

You owe no one any apologies because you are engaged in battle. Remember the character from that Kevin Costner film "Dances with Wolves" - her name was Stands with a Fist? That's you, hon.

I was only scared that something bad had happened and God knows I don't want that! I love you girl and I am glad that you have been able to post atleast a few times. Don't worry about anyone else, you get around to writing when you feel better. We are still here for you and praying for you.

That's totally normal in your circumstance--you don't "owe" us for not being cheerful and upbeat.

You know better than I what you have been dealing with. I didn't care what you wrote just that you were alive. You have been through so much in your life (since I've known you since you were 8 enough said about that). Is life fair? Hell No! But you are dealing with it the best you can.<br /><br />Love to all of you.

It seems utterly unthinkable that you would need to apologize.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
