New Year-New Hopes

To all my old friends and new ones.

I just wanted to say "Happy New Year" to all, although I know many of you are not feeling like it's a happy new year. I had just lost my husband around this time last new year so I know exactly how some of you are feeling. I hope the new year brings new hope to alot of you hearing struggling with this horrible cancer. Like I said, it has been a little over a year now and I am starting to feel like maybe it will be a "happy" new year. Diana and I have been through alot but my dear daughter did go back to college, finished her business degree last week, so her dad certainly would be so proud as I am. We are thinking of maybe selling our home and looking for a smaller one, something that we can handle easier, so we are making some progress. It has been very difficult for both of us to find our "new life" but we are doing it in baby steps.

I think of alot of you often and what you are going through. I do not think anyone truly understands what it is like to struggle through cancer and what it does to the family as well as the patient. It takes everything you have to get through each day and I do remember how I felt during the year that we were dealing with Ed's cancer, treatment and finally letting him go. I read your stories everyday and although I do not post to all of you, my heart goes out to all of you. May the new year bring you strength.

love always,

linda
