However, I know your fear of a life threatening diagnosis. I know the hopelessness that you feel and the wish to have your old, naive life back. I know how hard it is to appreciate the present when the future is so unclear. I know what it feels like to be told over and over again how strong you are and to wish to God you didn't have to be. That you could just fall apart without upsetting everyone else. I know how exhausting it is to try to hold it together all of the time. I know how it feels to wake up rested and happy for just a moment until you realize that this is your life. Like you said, thank goodness for medication!<BR/> I am so sorry that you have to live with this illness and still try to make the best of it. It must be so frightening.<BR/> Just want you to know that I think of you often and pray for you each night. Hoping the test results are good.<BR/> Leaving you with two quotes.<BR/> I have a saying on my wall that reads "HOPE: When the world says "Give Up" Hope whispers, "Try it one more time".<BR/> I also read one in a book that says "Sometimes all you can hope for is that tomorrow will seem more hopeful." (By the way, have you read the book "If I could just see hope?")<BR/> Love you , Moll!<BR/> Heart Hugs,<BR/> Jamie ZimmermanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
