A Year Ago Today........

after her dx.
The last 6 days of her life were spent in the hospital with a complete breathing mask.
I visited with her twice during that time, not counting the last time when she had
slipped into a coma.
I tell myself to NEVER forget how she looked lying in that bed, having to use
the mask to breathe, even tho she hated it so. She was my touchstone, and is now
my inspiration to wake up each morning and be happy I am alive...and NOT coughing.
I may slip with the cigs, from time to time, but I no longer have that terrible cough
that we BOTH had. She was a smoker, too.
A year ago today, I will also consider my anniversary for *meeting* Hugs & Golly.
You see, Mel was staying with me, and she's the one that taught me about all this
board *stuff*. I am grateful and feel truly blessed to have met so many wonderful
folks over the course of this year, and hope to maintain some of the friendships
for a long, long time.
Much love and enjoy your day:)
