Welcome Lana! I loved your first post and look forward to many more. A great sense of humor is wuch a wonderful thing. My husband was diagnosed just before Christmas and kept saying "I got cancer for Christmas". Quite a few people who had never had cancer in their lives thought it was horrible that he was joking about such a serious thing. We thought it was a pretty funny thing to say! Unfortunately, we knew all too well that often humor is the only thing that can help you through these tough times. Our only grandson, Joey, lost his cancer battle two years ago, at the age of nine. His favorite color was "Rainbow" and "Over the Rainbow" was the song our Daughter-in-law played at his service. Anyway, Lana, keep posting, and Charm, thanks for posting the words to that lovely song. Thanks to you guys I have laughed and cried this morning, and my day will be better for it.
