I can't believe that it has been 2 years already, jen! It feels like it was just about 1 year ago to me...so I can understand how fresh the emotions and memories are for you.

Sounds like you have got a LOT going on in your world right now. Helping your friend battle cancer is a lot of responsibility and attached emotions. Please try to make sure that you make time for breaks for yourself, rather than becoming so involved in this that you lose yourself in the process. You are important too & you need some TLC too! Like gayle said, you need to take care of yourself if you're going to care for others. We do a lot better as caretakers that way!

Gentle hugs to you ~ you're in my thoughts.
