(p.104) (Tuesdays with Morrie)<br /><br />Reading your post, I thought of this book, not Morrie's story of him leaving this life, but of Morrie's passion for life. He explains at one point that when you have an emotion, being sad or whatnot, you need to take that moment and truly feel that emotion. Once you have truly felt that moment one can move on. <br /><br />It's ok to be sad. It's ok to feel depressed. It's ok to go out and buy stock in kleenex. <br /><br />Even though IF and Cancer are different they are both life changing. <br /><br />I am glad that you are getting a lot of support during this, and I regret to hear you did not receive the same support through IF. <br /><br />I know that for me, I will be here as your blog buddy every post you make. You and your family are in our prayers. I am glad to hear you have such great Doctors right now. You can do this, I have no doubt!Llama Wanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14562474820066757819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014918662823349128.post-84922825418429994892009-06-30T07:33:27.412-07:002009-06-30T07:33:27.412-07:00This isn't a fake cancer and it certainly does...This isn't a fake cancer and it certainly doesn't mean you are getting off easily. Don't feel guilty over that because, like in IF, comparing whether your suffering is worthy just sucks. This is taking over your mind, your life right now and you need all the strength you can muster to get past this. Don't let guilt. Or try not to, at least not for the worthy part.<br /><br />Sounds like you have a good set of care providers. And<br />And<br />And<br /><br />You can have beer this weekend. Really, what else could you possibly want?? :)<br /><br />You are in my thoughts. I will drink some beer in spirit with you this weekend. You will beat this, your struggles with IF have made you resilient and strong.<br /><br />xoxoxoG$https://www.blogger.com/profile/05010373805685335151noreply@blogger.com
