Thank you so very much for the continual words of encouragement and concern that each of you have sent us. I know that you are busy with your own lives, but you have stopped to let us know how you much you care. We are both touched and grateful. Chris’s dad is progressing and continues his treatment for lung cancer. Her mom, as you may know, is now in a nursing home. I too am making progress but have been recently diagnosed with MRSA for my long-standing infection. Chris has shared with me how many others that she has chatted with have issues of serious illnesses with their partners in life. We have prayed for God’s intervention in easing the pain and helping cure the illness. I personally want you to know that I am humbled by your gentleness. Words are truly not adequate when one reaches out their hand and their heart to express an act of kindness. I also want to thank my family and especially Chris for being the person she is. She is an incredible human being, just like those of you who are care giving to another. Chris has supported me through my tears, helped me when I was fatigued, changed my dressing on my wound... and the list goes on. I have never heard her complain or say I am too tired. I have way too much time on my hands to think, and perhaps that it where I should be, but the wonder of giving never falls short. You, the caregiver, you the note writer, are amazing in that you are tireless. You look for ways to help and you ask for nothing in return. Blessed be each of you. Thank you again for thinking of us, caring about us, and letting us know that we are okay. Kindest wishes,Phyllis
