Thank you so much for your heartfelt letter. I nodded “yes” all throughout your thoughts. I find that forgiveness—letting go—that I got BC (February 2021) is a practice; a moment to moment thing. Hard for me to do.

And then there’s gratitude. Sigh . . . I’m a work in progress. My last three Signatera blood tests were negative.

One of my joys before BC (in 2020) was playing the piano. Yesterday I started again.

Had my knee replaced in September 21 and hip in December 23. The dog is my service dog. Something else to be grateful for. I’m grateful for you and your wisdom. ❤️

@sharon35981 I grieved my former life, too - and at times, still do, but it's more of that ache now, and not so debilitating and cloudy as grief can sometimes be. And I began to say my thankful list out loud. It helped me to hear the truth of those words, in my own voice. Believing it began slowly, and then my mind followed suit and accepted those words as facts. 🙂

I love that you are playing the piano. I did that, too. And dogs? Hooray for you. I have a host of them. 🙂 Big hugs.
