My friend, Faye, sent me a most wonderful present last week. She gave me...well..she gave me...ME! Faye took the time to print out every one of my blog entries, along with comments, and assembled them into a 3-ring binder. This is something I have wanted to do for myself, but she gifted me with the end product first. It's wonderful!
I am amazed to go back and see the dates and anguishes and tumor marker numbers and thoughts and feelings of "long ago." As Faye said to me: it's been quite a journey.
THANK YOU FAYE! What a wonderful, perfect surprise!!
