A Very Special AMY - Inspiration Friday For Sure!

Many of you already know Amy at Four Sisters in a Cottage. For those of you who have yet to meet her, sweet and dear Amy is battling breast cancer. Following surgery she has been taking mega doses of strong chemo and right now she is feeling pretty rotten. Her blog has kept us up to date with her treatment. It has been honest and enlightening - she has allowed us to see the ugly side of breast surgery, and the damage done by chemotherapy. Her pain has made us realize how good health is the most important thing, and that real beauty comes from within. A couple of days ago Amy questioned the meaning of life with cancer. Today many of us hope we can reassure her that things will get better and she will once again be strong and will get back to living her life the way she wants it to be.

Amy dear, life with cancer is a changed life but it is still a life well worth fighting for. As you already know, my husband (5 year survivor) and myself (18 year survivor) have battled it too - there are SO MANY of us out there. We have gone through hell and come back to get on with living. You too will be doing this - it will take a while but you will join us, proud that you were strong and made your body fight this terrible disease. Then, it will be your turn to inspire other women and men, to show them how one can survive and be strong as they fight their cancers.


Your wonderful Bob, the children, your Mom and your family, your many close friends who are able to be there for you, your doctors and nurses...............................and all of us out here, your blog family, love you and support you on this difficult journey. Many of us wish we too were close by to lend a shoulder to cry on, make you a cup of tea, or just hold your hand when the going gets tough. However, we are here in a different way, thinking of you daily, remembering you in a prayer, and sending constant get well wishes your way. You really are loved. You will be well. You must continue to be strong.

OK Amy, now show us that great hat collection!! Hope it was fun at the sales, and I just know your massage was heavenly!

As you said..............keep smiling. We care about you and love you.
