Where to even start.  I just want to give a huge thank you, which could never be huge enough, to all of my family and friends. Without them being there for me, I honestly don't think that I could have survived all that I did. First of all, thank you to my husband. I love you so much Michael. I know that you are not a patient man, but you certainly have shown it to me while we went through this journey. You were strong, supportive, very helpful with taking on the housework when I couldn't plus doing your own work so that we had money coming in. You will probably never know how appreciative I was of your support. I'm not sure there are many men out there that would do what you have done for me.... My children, also, were what kept me hanging on... I love them with all my being, I'm sure that I have said this once before, but it is worth repeating...I LOVE MY KIDS!!!!  My mom and my mother-in-law were there always for us too. My mother-in-law took care of the kids alot for us and even took them home with her for a couple of weeks. It was so appreciated. If I didn't tell you this before, Sally, I am telling you now. I love you so very much and thank you for all that you have done for us...my mom was at the hospital everyday to see me, even when my dad was in such terrible health. She would split her time between him and I. I know that took so much out of her, but she never complained a bit.  She helped watch the kids too and this last surgery was here at the house everyday to help with the baby and drove me to my doctor's appointments... I love you so very much, mom, and I thank you also for all you have done for us... Jo and Tee; what can I say??? you were there for me through the whole journey too.  Taking me for chemo trips, doctor trips, visiting the hospital to see me even tho you weren't feeling well yourself...I love you two very much and thank you too... my neighbors, Carl, Sandy, Amanda and Lance. I thank you from the bottom of my heart as well. They helped with the kids alot too. Going to get Rhiannon from school and/or taking her to school when I couldn't drive. Coming over to talk and make sure that I was doing okay. Feeding my husband when I was in the hospital... helping to clean my house... thanks so much, we love you too... my two sisters were there for me too, of course. Coming to see me in the hospital, helping out when they could with the kids or anything.... I love you Kandi and Kim, thank you.... My brothers and sisters-in-law were all there for support and love and I love all of you for it.  I received numerous letters and cards from so many people it was hard keeping up with them all.   Many people sent money, which I had a very hard time accepting it, because I really didn't want to, but it was very useful when the time came that we needed it..... Thank you EVERYONE that sent us money, I love you too. Like I mentioned before, I couldn't have been as strong as I was if it hadn't been for ALL of my family and friends. There really are too many to name in here, tho I would like to acknowledge you all personally, there just isn't enough space I don't believe........ I will try, just for the heck of it..
