    Me too:(
    My friends were plenty in the beginning as well. As time went on, they all disappeared. I always wanted a sister, my Mom told me just 3 years before she died of lung cancer in 07 that I have a sister (she was Catholic, 15, in 1960, and hidden by shame in a home for unwed mothers, long sad story). After searching for years, I found her, and I was so excited to finally meet her, but then the next part came, "were very sorry Kari but your sister is deceased" she was 42 and passed away from, guess, yep, the beast. I cried and cried and cried, then I realized how lonely this disease is, I cry every time I go alone to almost every appt now, when once upon a time, my friends/family filled the room, now the room is empty but I feel all of you with me and I thank God for all of you!!
    Hang in there Attygirl and remember we're all here, Always!
    Miles of Love,
    Kari

    I know we can't be with you
    I know we can't be with you physically Kari, but, we are always with you! I hope that is some consolation to you! We all love you Kari and always pray for you.


    Hugs and love,

    Noel
