Well I'm back from my whirlwind vacation in Napa. I loved every minute of being away. Napa is so beautiful, the wedding was wonderful, and the company kept me laughing the whole weekend. Congratulations to the happy couple, and thank you again for having us all out there.
Its interesting to see how other people have reacted to my news. I have had many close friends and family members immediately email me and call me, offering me support and well wishes. I've also had many friends who I have lost touch with over the years contact me again, which I appreciate infinitely. However, it is the absolute worst feeling to not hear from people who I thought were some of my closest friends. I think people deal with stressful situations differently, and some people may not always know the "right" words to say. However, any showing of care and concern to someone who is going through a difficult time, be it a family emergency, a break up, or a health crisis, is always appreciated. I know everyone seems to be very busy these days and even I am guilty of saying "I'll call or send an email tomorrow." But now that I am on the opposite side of the story I know how important it really is to hear those words of comfort everyday. And being in my situation, where I don't know what will happen during the surgery, every day that I am able to talk to friends and family is cherished. Please make sure that if you know someone who is going through a hard time, to just reach out to that person and say "I'm here, I know it's a hard time, and I'm thinking about you." It really does make a difference.
