@cmdw2600 We are sisters in the Triple Neg Club, Cindy, though not really a club I wanted to join - but I guess the admittance was not optional. ;). Thankfully, I am still here, as are you, and we can speak to what we've learned, and how that might impact others in a more positive way.

My daughter created a "card train" for me. . . she had a sign up for those who would send cards to me (daily) and those who would send flowers to me (weekly) during the months of my cancer treatment. I was shocked to learn that the list was made up of, almost entirely, clients. My clients are all over the country. . . and they came to my rescue! (People were waiting each month for the sign-up to be released so they could take the flower spot :D). The handwritten notes and cards were such a blessing to me - so. much. encouragement. I posted some of them to my bathroom mirror to look at everyday. I would make myself read some of them aloud, just so I could hear myself say the positive messages. What a gift that was to me!

So, whereas my post for sharing how many others were not there as much for me (physically, emotionally, or otherwise), there was a village of people who went to task for me and put their pens to paper!
