I got the most beautiful email this morning from Doug Barron, the CEO of the Georgia Ovarian Cancer Alliance. He wrote:
"I want to thank you for the past year. You and your journey with the ups and down being right there for everybody to see has taken such strength and courage. Documenting your treatment has brought an honest insight to the reality that a lot of people never see. And you are smiling in 95% of the pictures, what's up with that? Your never give up though out the process and your commitment is so evident with your following through after your diagnose with Jeremiah. "I have just had major surgery, gone through chemo, and now I am going to be a new mother, okay bring it on". I think you have passed John Wayne on my hero list and he is really close to the top. Congratulations, I am so proud and happy for you and your beautiful family. Mazel Tov"

Sometimes it feels like my cancer adventure was a lifetime ago and sometimes, well, it feels like yesterday. Just when I think I'm going along ok (and really I am), something beautiful and full of love appears and I can't help but just sit and cry. I sure don't feel very strong or that I have courage but it does make me feel really good to know that maybe I've helped someone along the way. GOCA does trainings with oncology students, holds large fundraisers (galas, a walk, stuff with the Atlanta Braves too) and I am very touched that the head of that organization remembers me and took the time to write this morning. :)
