I think of where I was just a few short months ago and know that I am leaps and bounds from there. Last year at this time I was in the hospital for a second time, unsure I was going to survive the blood clots that had formed, traveled to my lung and made me unable to stop coughing and vomitting. At the same time I think about where Lou was this time last year and, while I am sure we are all thankful for the good times he has had, I cry for where he is now! Then I think of Aunt Jackie last year at this time just beginning chemo for bilateral lung cancer and a tumor in her stomach and see where she is now...restarting chemo yet again with lung tumors stable, stomach stable but bilateral kidney tumors growing. So how can I complain...
So once again I pray for sleep, I pray for the others in my life to have the strength to fight the fight another day...and I pray this foundation can grow as fast as the needs grow. Don't see that as possible at the moment...this cancer...it grows faster then any weed I have ever seen. But with the help of all the people whose lives we touch, we will take this foundation to the next level and help those who need it the most...and we will try our best to ease their burden the only way we know how...day by day!
