Thank you all for the kind words! I almost forgot to mention that I completed training as a hospital chaplain and start an internship as soon as I get over this short term hump at work. I also participated in a couple of health fairs representing OCF. I was invited to another in the inner city of Dallas around high-risk people for oral cancer sometime in the next few months. I (actually Susan!) made up a board of many oral cancer "victims" from the website and play both the Jack Klugman and the Blythe Danner PSA's. Thanks Brian for giving me an opportunity to give back just a little bit.

Somehow in this world, I have found myself face-to-face with cancer survivors at various stages of their journey on a very regular basis. The stories go on and on but the common theme has been steadfast. I have had many friends and family battle cancer and so many have reached out for a guiding hand, a shoulder to lean on or just a pair of ears to sit and listen. People I didn't know have come to me telling me how I have inspired them and have even asked me to walk with them through their journey. I am touched each and every time.

I will drop in from time to time but know I will always carry all of you in my heart and thoughts throughout life.

I still would like to make some type of get together soon.
