For the women I rely on...

What an amazing essay this is........I am so deeply touched by it. This is Kelly Corrigan, author of The Middle Place and Circus of Cancer. She is really a gifted writer. My sweet friend Aimee hooked me up with her when she found out I had cancer...because Kelly is a survivor.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. Grab a hanky.

Wow! Only women could understand that. I could never have verbalized it the way she did. I just kept nodding my head and thinking, "you go sister!". I am so glad you shared that.
I hope you are coming out at the better end of your last treatment. I'm praying that you have a really good day today.
Love, Janet
