I agree with the other posters that say you're amazing! You have been through the worst this disease has to offer, and yet you remain here to help others. I only hope I have a portion of your strength in the days to come.
Love,

I think about you often. How are you doing? I hate that you and Liz have such sad anniversaries to mark. You two were my caregiver rocks when I didn't think I could do the job. I know your spouses aren't here with you. (*Damn It*) But, I know they are smiling down at you from heaven, knowing they were lucky enough to marry two of the nicest women who ever were.
In a couple of months it will be two years from Dan's diagnosis. And, two years since I met you two on the boards. And, for all the rest of my years I will always admire the two of you!
