Dear friends and family, I’m having a really hard time of it and my support system has waned.  I have several girlfriends that have been totally consistent in their support for me!  Deb, Beth, Kim and Mary, I honestly don’t know what I’d do without you girls!  And Ryan and Terri, and Dad! I cannot thank you enough for your unwavering support!  I love you all!!!

For others in my life reading this post, I started this blog to keep you all informed, certainly not for you to disassociate with me.  Where’s the love?  I realize we all lead busy lives, but I could really use your support throughout this ordeal. If only to drop me a line via e-mail or text every week or so, or comment on my blog posts cheering me on and/or just letting me know you’re thinking of me.  If you care about me, please show me some love.

You’ve all stated to let you know if I need anything and I realize I’m quick to show I’m capable of going it on my own, but this is much harder emotionally than I let on or anticipated.  Could use more love from all, please?
