Dear Suemarie,
I understand how you feel. If only our prayers and hopes could keep them here, they would still be here today. I didn't see the show but I did see that Roger Ebert was doing a spate of interviews lately, after being out of the "cancer spotlight" for quite a while. BTW, if I'm not mistaken Roger's cancer was originally salivary gland, which then spread. I am reaching 9 months since Ron died, and it has not gotten any easier at all. I'm not on this forum very much because it still hurts so much, but I still care about all of you and think of you often. EZJim, I'm not surprised you're not a big Oprah fan. Did you ever really look at her audience? They all look like suburban Stepford wives, and they hang on her every word. Gives me the willies. Christine, I was so happy to see your post, and I hope you are doihg well. How is basic training treating your son? Best to everyone.
Lori
