Lisa,

You have just been placed on one of the hardest paths in life to walk...you are entitled to cry, to not know what's happening, to feel afraid...terrified even. You're not expected to run when you are first learning to walk. Bravery is doing what needs to be done in spite of fear, not in the absence of it.

Women amaze me, because they are capable of such strength...Carmen said it best...be strong. And the times you are not, draw strength and comfort from those of us that have traveled the path you are on now.
