A smoothie date. A giant smiley-face balloon. Anonymous flowers, with the sweetest message on the card. Countless emails, blog comments, and FB messages\/comments. People willing to listen to me vent my frustrations and worries.<\/p>\n

The card reads "You are amazing! From, Everyone who loves you"<\/p><\/div>\n

My friends and family are fantastic. Thank you so much for all you have done and are doing for me. Some days it is hard to find a reason to keep going amid so much opposition and difficulty, but you have given me the strength and courage to hold on for a while longer. For that, I thank you. Please know that any gesture you make, large or small, makes a huge impact on me. You are absolutely amazing, and it is partly because of you and what you’ve done that I am here, trying to make it through another day.<\/p>\n
