Emily, with everyone else who's written, you've been in my thoughts often since you shared your sad news. I'm sure there are others who can't quite find their own way to say what so many have said so eloquently--I'm terribly, terribly sorry. I care about you, however odd that seems from someone you've never met. I value your willingness to share yourself, your courage, and your passion. I know you'll heal emotionally as you've healed physically. You need to do it in your own way, on your own schedule. Take as much time as you need.

When you feel you can keep us posted on how you're doing, I hope you will. We're pulling for you.

Karen
