    Hello Maria,

     

    Thank you so much for your response to my post.  Just to share a little bit about myself.  I am a single grandmother of a 12 year old boy.  He has lived with me since he was 2 years old.  His Father, my only child, passed away 2 years while I was in the midst of taking Radiation.  I guess I drew strenght from all the friends and well wishers that was there for me and I know God spared my life so that I could continue to raise my grandson.  If my story gives at least one person hope, then I'm satisfied.
