AND an even better, comforting "I'll be back..." was promised...
BUT...when "I'm back" is silently uttered by cancer cells, you thought had been eliminated ... this is a VERY UNCOMFORTING statement!!
Our dear friend Jan Gruwell, was told these very words this week...a year ago she endured the lovely treatments that go along with a breast cancer diagnosis...pain, nausea, hospitalization, more nausea, operations, pain, more nausea, hair falling out,nausea, every awful etc...She emerged from this cancer fight her AWESOME self, with great stories (she is a smashing story teller)and a new appreciation for life. This is such a gross feeling to be so far away, from someone you care so much about, when they are told these words. I wish I could do something to ease her burden as she has so often eased mine; helping my elderly parents with their yard work is just a glimpse of her salt of the earth character. I only have a handful of close friends... I desire quality over quantity...and man oh man do my friends ooze with quality!! I feel SO enormously blessed to have Jan as one of those close friends!! I wish I could physically be with you to help you fight this fight...but please know my dear friend I am here for you ALWAYS, I am thinking of you ALWAYS, I am praying for you ALWAYS!!! You are one of my FAVORITE people on this WHOLE planet... I LOVE YOU JAN!!! WE LOVE YOU!!
