i've known you for less than a week through your recent and earlier posts. i've found you to be a courageous, caring and compassionate person. as your recent news has been similar to what my sister has been experiencing over the past two weeks, i think of you often. i wish you healing and peace. as for love, there seems to be no shortage of it on this board, and you are its graceful receiver and giver.
good wishes your way.
be well.

FEEL THE LOVE! Love is truly the gift God gives us to feel for us, for others, to cheer us up. Like you, I don't know what I would do without this incredible family of survivors and caregivers! The apostle Paul preached often of faith, hope and love. As Christine quotes, Love is the greatest.
No matter how rough the battle, rest assured we are here to hold you up, here for you to lean on. It is a blessing God has allowed you to cross all of our paths and touch us in the ways you have.
May God continue to bless you, Dan! See you in September.
YBIC,
Ed

You have always been there when I have written a post looking for some kind of hope or kindness.
Your compassion was always appreciated...
I think of you often and pray for you and your family...May a new dawn bring a cure.
Bless you,
