Dear Christine,

I still think fondly of you and wonder how you are doing. I lost about a year of consistent posting/viewing on this forum due to treatment for a second round almost a year ago. Thank goodness, I just had a clear scan.

I just remember how incredibly hard you worked to keep it all together. I have to give you and all of the other caregivers out there so much credit. I often think of what it would be like if the roles were reversed, and as crazy as it may sound, I think I'd rather be the patient (if I had to chose).

My point is that I am happy to see that you are still coming back, whether it is to help others or to help yourself, or a little of both. I know how difficult all of these "firsts" can be after losing my father. As someone mentioned, you will endure them and each passing year may take the sting away, but sometimes 11 years goes by and you end up having a bad day, but you get over it.

Please keep coming back. We all love you here! I hope life is turning around for you and that you are able to take care of yourself and your kids. You need some pampering and letting others do some kind things for you.

Love in OCF,
Kerri
