I remember being so angry you were also dying – Mom just months ago and now you, Dad – how could you both leave me at such an early age. then I remember the kindness of the nurse – the doctors – the staff. And that is when my journey began. Kindness, compassion, caring, support, acceptance, and now more than 20 years later, I want to Thank You Both so much for giving me this opportunity to give back to others  -and their families who are beginning the same journey. You may not have known but you gave me the Biggest Gift of my life by sharing your journey.

Thank you so much – so much gratitude for everyone I have met during this part of my life.

I could not have done what I have done without the two of you by my side.
