Darla Poole Brescia said it best....in the big picture of life, most things just dont matter. I have waited a few days to post what I would like to say, mostly because I am so overwhelmed by the love and support I have received. My wonderful sisters status below says it perfectly. During the past couple months my hair slowly started to thin, then rapidly fall out in large chunks, along with many large bald spots. So, after waking up at 3:30 am 2 days ago to a large mess if hair on my pillow, I made the decision to take control and shave my head. My illness has progressively been getting worse and taking almost everything away from me, it will eventually take my life. But one thing it cannot steal from me is the support,care,compassion, friendship, and the incredible self-less love that I have received from so very many people. I am beyond blessed to have you all in my life. Im so grateful for this illness that has brought my amazing family and friends together that has formed an unbreakable bond between us all. I cannot even list how many things Im grateful for, because there are far too many...from siblings shaving their heads in support for me, to friends and family sitting beside me holding my hand while I cry, and crying with me, to driving to the ER countless times during all hours of the day and night, to countless flower arrangements and gifts being sent and brought to my home, to people getting tattoos in support of me, to family and friends driving and flying long hours from states far away to visit during this difficult time. We have shared so many laughs, and cried so many tears together. TOGETHER is the key word...all of you have come together to support, love, and comfort me during this unimaginably difficult time. I am so overwhelmed with thankfulness. I have some of the greatest people in my life. Thank you all so much for doing the unimaginable...I wouldnt have survived this far without you all. This disease can take and steal everything from me including my life- but one thing it cannot steal is the relationships and LOVE that we all have formed together. We can make a party out of anything. Were a crazy, loud bunch of people...but I guarantee you, theres no greater bunch in this entire world. And Im so proud and blessed to call you my bunch. I love you all so much. Thank you from the very bottom of my heart. I am so grateful and beyond blessed. Im sorry if I missed tagging anyone! Please feel free to tag yourself!
