You know I stand at the ready to do the "whatever it takes" to carry you through. Even when it goes against my "I can fix this", and the best I can do is simply to just be there.
I love you and will continue extinguishing flares any way I can.
While my health/medical issues are major, they are still lightweight in comparison to yours, Brenda. But, three years after being diagnosed and being told to get my affairs in order in quick fashion, I'm miraculously still here and may be around for some time, yet. But, like you, I'll never return to the person I was prior to three years ago. And, like you, I have those "flat days” and the up days. Where I am right now may be my "new normal” for the rest of my days, however many there may be in my future. I had a two + hour Zoom conversation last week with a Miss America finalist from the late '60s. She was diagnosed with terminal stage lung cancer 13 years ago. She was an avid biking enthusiast. They removed one of her lungs entirely, saved her life, but told her she'd never be able to bike again. It took a few years to recover, but she has since biked all over Europe and the U.S... on one lung. She is an inspiration and encouragement to me. And, so are YOU. But, not only to me, but to so many others, too. I hope I can follow in yours and Kathy's footsteps and inspire and encourage others, too. That is a mission we share in life. Thank you for your openness and fortitude. ♥️
