You make me smile
I’m so happy to hear your voice. I’ve laughed and cried listening to this podcast. I love your husband’s interaction and involvement. I loved hearing your “No no’s” episode. I agree there is “no good cancer”. You validate other people’s feelings while sharing your own. Thank you. Even through tears (yes, even in just 5-10 minute episodes), you make me smile.
I’m so happy you seem to be doing well. I realize there may still be a journey ahead as there is for all of us but you seem to do your journey well and have a great man and son to love & support you along with a community who loves you and only wants to know how you’re doing. In the good AND the bad. You are well loved. Continue to thrive! ❤️
Turning lemons into lemonade
I reared up and laughed several times. It’s so great to hear your voice and looking forward to hearing more from Chris!
