I am so excited to move past this chapter in my life but am unbelievably grateful. I am grateful for this experience because it has shown me how lucky and loved I am. My friends, neighbors and family have supported me in ways I will never forget. They have brought and sent endless meals for months, helped immensely with the kids (I’m looking at you roommate Ma and Mom & Dad B), sent flowers and cards, added to my plant collection, prayed for me, cleaned my house, drove all the way across town to drop things on my porch, let me cry on them when I needed to, came with me to chemo every single time, anxiously awaited test results, sent surgery recovery supplies, wept tears of joy, kept me company at so many appointments, constantly checked on me, changed entire work schedules so they could be there if needed, asked how I was feeling and what they could do, sent snuggly clothes for comfort, shared their cancer journeys with me, told me it was going to be ok when I was scared s&$@less, sent amazingly thoughtful gift baskets/bags with hand-picked items, knitted blankets to keep me warm, sent insanely generous gift cards, just sat with me, kept the jokes going, and everything in between. I am surrounded by absolutely incredible people, near and far. Some of which I haven’t even seen in years! I could never list everything that you all have done for me and my family, I would be here for a week. I will never forget the encouragement and love you have shown me. THANK YOU.
