A message from my Husband

As I enter the hospital for my 3rd treatment, I am reminded of the love that surrounds me. My in-laws picked me up and brought me to the hospital so Rand wouldn't have to leave work. We teased and laughed the whole way and they stayed with me for a couple of hours. My family lifted me in prayer along with my baby sister Lisa who had surgery today. My best friend Robin called me to check on me. Dr. Kilgore took the time to converse back and forth with me on email when I was at a low point searching for answers. So many gestures of love that has made my journey a little easier. Thank you my special family, friends and cargivers who continue to lift me up, support me and help keep hope alive!

Then to top it off, I ran across a message that Rand had written me about a month or so ago. His  words mean so much to me. Knowing that I'm not fighting alone when in this journey I often feel I am totally alone. He never fails to remind me..."I am here"

The longer that I know you... the wonderful spirit that resides inside of you.. that strong, don't quit mentality.... the loving and caring woman that you truly are.... the more I love you. You don't walk alone. I'll nudge you... when needed. I'll walk beside you.... always. I'll wipe your tears... when you are weak. I'll hold your hand.... anytime. But most of all, I'll love you forever. Hang in there, my wife. Life is tough now, but this battle is worth it.... even when it seems this is beyond difficult. Together we'll fight this. Together! I love you.
