Almost exactly this time last year, my siblings and some of our friends and us went to my parents cabin for a fun, fall weekend. Good times I want to share!

It is so scary to think how quickly life can change in a year. I am glad you are feeling better today.
Keeping you in our prayers…
Brenda, I clicked over from the OP group on SparkPeople. I had been out of the loop for a long, long time and I just wanted you to know that even though we’ve never met, I am keeping you in all my warmest thoughts. It takes great courage not only to go through what you’ve been through, but to write about it as eloquently and honestly as you have. Wishing you comfort and love and all that you need in such a difficult time.
