We're doing good. Insurance denied my treatment and denied the appeal so that's fun. Lol

I don't care though, I'm blessed and glad to be here now. 🙏

Take care of yourself 💖😍

I am so sorry to hear that. I won't ask publicly what treatment is for. Insurance sucks and it's sad that it seems they only care about bottom line. I wish you the best the world can offer. Take care and I will keep you and yours in my thoughts always a friend 💞

You are very brave and unflinchingly honest and an inspiration for us. I wish you well on your journey both physical and metaphorical. And you are right - this is not goodbye.

Cecilia, thank you for your kindness and words of encouragement.

I appreciate all of those who have shared in my journey thus far.

My hope is that I end this journey with a smile upon my face and love upon my heart. I'm sure there will be tears yet let them be tears of joy, because I am going home to all that is and will ever be!! And I'll be reunited with those loved ones who have gone before me.

Almost a gift. You can see what is ahead and prepare for it. With such dignity too. My Mum said for her the hardest part of dying was seeing to everyone close to her - helping them accept it as she had.

Yes, my girls and the grandchildren will be tough but I hope to do everything within me to get them through it.
