Remembering Eric
I know I said I would post soon to give a update on my health. I am going to make this update really short because this post is not intended to be about me. My physical being... I feel strange. I am bloated everywhere. I have lots of pain in my liver and I believe I am suffering from insomnia. Will talk about that more on my next post... promise.
This post is for Eric and Amanda.
Eric passed away one year ago, March 17, 2006. Eric, who was battling leukemia, died from complications that were brought on from the chemotherapy drug. My husband Cary met Amanda via the internet. Its truly amazing how invaluable blogging has become for us. We have meet so many incredible people, people like Eric and Amanda. So many of you I consider close friends and yet we still have not met.
Amanda, I wish there was something I could say or do... I wish I could meet you in person and give you a big squishy hug. You are such an amazing woman. Even in your own time of grief you have been there to comfort us. I admire you so.
Amanda as I close this post I want to share with you a piece of a quote from a dear, wise friend:

Post a CommentLori,
I also met Cary through the Internet (tubefreaks.net) and he told me about your blog. I've checked in several times and I just wanted to say that although we don't know you, we think of you often and are praying for you. Your strength is amazing and inspiring!

Thank you, dear hearts.
I love you both--

Lori,
You don't know me but I'm another Lori fighting cancer (Primary Mediastinal Large B-Cell Lymphoma) and I stumbled across your blog. There are no words for what you are going through so I won't even pretend. I feel for you and send you all the positive energy possible. Thank you for your blog, it does count in this world. My best to Amanda as well and I'm so sorry for her loss. Big hugs to you.
Having a bad hair day but it's ok,
Another Lori
Yet another reason to hate cancer. The pain and devastating loss...it is terrible.
Amanda: Praying for the continuing healing of your heart--for the loss of Eric, and everything that the fight and the loss mean to you.
I found you, Lori, via the Internet, as well (as you know)...I found you on Flickr! and your honesty and courage in sharing your fight humbles me to the core.
I am indebted to those who share their stories of suffering and courage--that is what this is all about--this f'd up thing called cancer. Thanks to the Internet, we know we are not alone.
Very cool, Lori (and Cary). Amanda is a person whom I also consider a friend despite having never met her.
Lori, Spring is coming. (It snowed here on St. Paddy's Day). Somehow sunshine will make it seem better, even if it isn't.
