Why I survived...

Okay, so first thank you Matt for my blog...you know I am not the sort of person to spill my guts in writing...but I have so much to say...this is going to take it out of me ;)

I am a breast cancer survivor...I can tell you with certainty that I have survived triumphantly due to many people in my life...I have spent my life pouring into people and loving people and when I needed it most I was returned this incredible support and love unlike anything I have ever felt before!

My God, My Savior, My Comfort, My Love, My Confident who knows me and still loves me. Praise Him for all His blessings!

The Love of My Life - My Richard...who I always knew loved me...but not like this...you can never know this kind of love...but it showed up BIG. He is my rock, my steady, my rescuer...everything I ever needed! I love you forever and will be forever hopelessly devoted...

My Brother, My Best Friend...who I saw weakened by all this because of his incredible love for me. You are forever my best friend...who has been through all with me...I love you so much!!! We have survived and triumphed due to our closeness! Thank You!

My Jessica, Alyssa, Matt & Karson...my hope for tomorrow! You have been the greatest gift a mother could ever receive. I feel like I was born just to be your mother and love you! I love you more than my life. You have given me reason to fight for everyday that God has given me. Thank You!

My Kathy-no words can express how much you have meant to me...You have loved me and I have felt it! You have cared for me and I have felt it. You made me feel so special and listened to me endlessly about nothing and everything! I love you sister!!!

My Heather-Sister-I have never felt the kind of love you have shown me. You made me feel love in a way I never have...down deep...as if I opened my heart up and you came in and saw the real me in a way I have never shared before...and you loved me ;) I have always been a confident person but never enough to let people in there...down deep to know me this way...and it felt good...safe and warm! You tucked me in...dried my tears...and just loved me! No words to express that kind of closeness! I love you Heather. I know God sent you to my brother...but sometimes I think He just sent you to me! He really loves me ya' know!

I have been blessed with so many wonderful people and friends that I couldn't possibly name them all. I have received over 80 cards from people that love people that I love! Thank You,

Lois - your words I will read often ...thank you

Joan - thank you for being a Mom to me...I needed it! I love you!

My Blogger friends...thank you for all your prayers & support.

That's it...I am spent! Never cried this hard trying to type before...I am suddenly such a wimp...and I love it!
