  • An open letter to all of my imsn peeps

    Zoe turned 6 today. Six...

    I spent a lot of my day thinking of all of you and the love that you showed me throughout my treatment for lymphoma during my pregnancy. I need for you all to know something. You are incredible people who provided me with the love that I needed to keep going. You gave me the hope that everything would be ok and that we would survive and persevere. I owe you all more than I can ever repay. You have tolerated my depression and anxiety since treatment. You have supported me through some of the late-effects. I consider you all to be a part of my extended family and I am so grateful that you are here ... even if I'm not always online lately. You are always in my heart.

    Thank you. Thank you so very much.

                    It's so hard to believe she is six!! Happy Birthday Teenie Beanie!

                    You are such an inspiration, and you have saved me on more than one occasion. Thanks for all that you do and being you. Thanks for all the love and support. Zoe could not ask for a better mom. All that you went through to get her here, and then the constant health struggles that have continued are so aggregiously unfair. I am so glad you are here and in my life. Celebrate!

                    A toast to you, my friend! Cheers!

                              I can't believe it's been six years since your diagnosis, pregnancy and Zoe's birth. Six years?! You are one of the most open and honest people I've met, and you've reaped what you've sown. Your willingness to reach out and lay it all down has brought you the support and deep friendships you've formed here. It's helped me (and countless others) to reach out as well. So thank you! . Happy birthday little Zoe!
