LJ,

So glad to hear that life is getting back to a little "normal." Once again, you are rejoicing in something that we have usually taken for granted, but not any more. Happy Bday to your hubby and congrats on reaching the 6 month milestone....I dream of being there (we are half way thru treatment!) I, like you, search the board for the positive...those who have walked thru the storm and are still making it. I love the words to the song: "When You Walk Thru a Storm." :

When you walk through the storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark

Walk on, through the wind
Walk on, through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

Deb
