I have so much to be thankful for, so as Thanksgiving nears, I'd like to share a few of the things that are foremost on my mind.
I'm thankful for the love and support of my family, friends, and all of you that support me even though we've never met. I've been placed on prayer lists all over the country, receiving prayer and support from total strangers. I still get emotional every time I think of all the support I have.
I'm thankful for my employment and my co-workers. These are really good people that willingly help others throughout the community. I know they truly care about me and I consider them family.
I'm thankful for all the doctors and nurses that have cared for me this past year. Specifically I'm thankful for the entire staff in Radiation Therapy at St.Lukes Hospital; the nurses in the Infusion unit at St. Lukes Cancer Center; and the nurses that took care of me in the transplant unit at the Siteman Center in St. Louis. We've felt that from the beginning that these professionals weren't just doing their jobs, but that they truly cared about us. Some have even stayed in touch even after I'm no longer under their care. Very special people doing very important work.
I know with all I have to be thankful for, this is a pretty short list, but these are the people that have supported me and helped me through this past year. Thank you all.
Happy Thanksgiving!
