No, you're not weak. I know that.

I didn't mean to make you feel bad by relaying such sad stories. Papa Smurf's mother went through all the chemo and radiation and eventually had a double radical mastectomy. She lost all her hair and all that, but now she's healthy as a horse. So there's a positive story for you.

I can't imagine what you're going through. Just seeing what my friends and family are going/have gone through, it scares and amazes me at the same time. I take so much for granted. I've noticed that the old adage that you really don't know what you've got 'til it's gone is awfully true. I'm really trying to remember this every day and be thankful for my health. I pray that each of us, ill and healthy alike, stop taking life for granted.

Chin up. Believe in the power of positive thinking.
