Thank you so much, both of you!

Susan, I've told her about my issues, and she has been phenomenally helpful to me with all that I go through. She's an angel (sometimes a lioness, haha) when I'm feeling panicky or depressed. It's great that we can help each other, but I'm not really sure if that makes it better or worse... that we really, truly understand what the other is going through, if through different parts of the body (her physically, me mentally) or if it sucks because she feels as helpless as I do. :/ It's just weird.

The one really good thing, though, is that even though we haven't been together for very long in the grand scheme, we're still committed to one another. We still love each other and want to help each other, even though we're both pretty.... well, quirky. And I adore her bravery, her thirst for life, the way she NEVER lets her disease stand in the way of living! She's incredible.
