Dear Melissa,

Denise was the most wonderful person ever.  Her family was from Belize.  She was the only sibling born in the US.  I met her when we were both working at American Express Travel.  She was about 340 pounds and I couldn't understand how a person gets like that.  I got to know her and found her to be , well, the most wonderful person ever.  She was hilarious, always quick with a very funny joke or impersonation.  She was a good Christian and she loved everyone.  She accepted me as a Hare Krishna devotee and I accepted her Christian values.  WE loved to talk about the Lord, we would read to each other our favorites passages from our respective lieratures, we toured the California Missions and even began building little replicas out of clay as a hobby.  I just recently painted the missions the way Denise wanted.  I was always afraid i would mess them up.  But I painted them and they look even more beautiful.  She was right.

Laura,

That is so amazing to find a doctor who actually cares.. That doesn't think his patients as statistic. Your very lucky in that sense

Hugs to you

Melissa

I am so thankful for not only this site, but also to Jon's primary doctor. I know and I do call him whenever I feel the need and he will always return my call and talk for as long as I need. I feel very fortunate for his support. He came back to the hospital in the middle of the night to be with Jon and I as he died. He was not his cancer doctor just the family doctor. He came to the funeral, he has really been there for me. I truly wish all doctors could be this compassionate.

Michael,

I too cry at times I don't even know it's coming I'll be cooking one of my moms favorite past times and I will just burst into tears.. Or I'll do something or say something my mom used to and it reminds me of her and how she's gone and I just start crying. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Hugs, Melissa

I have been missing Jon so much the past few days. I am facing many anniversaries in the coming weeks. Everything us reminding me of what I have lost. This afternoon I found put my favorite uncle has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. I find I am asking the same questions. Why him, why our family? Cancer is the most disgusting word in the English language. I don't understand how God could let it happen?

Michael, your post made me cry. We know too well what you are going through; there are so many things that set me off that I have to avoid watching certain shows and going to certain places. The holidays are the worst!

Michael -

I'm so sorry for your loss and your pain.  But letting out the tears is a good thing - it's all part of the process.  I never know what might set me off.  My dad called me yesterday to apologize for something, and I got all emotional but not about that; it was about my loss.  I understand, and I'm glad you are at least hanging in here and posting.
