I also arm myself with as much information about my health as I can. I don't know what the future holds. I find that fact more exciting than frightening though, because I love mysteries. HPEN is a challenge but with the support of friends and the hope of new friendships to come, we'll find the strength to meet the future head on with the same courage our predecessors possessed. We honor them and ourselves by keeping a positive attitude.
Science has proven survivors are positive thinkers.
Our tribute to those that have blazed the trail and gone before us is to forge ahead, not only for ourselves, but also for those who will follow us. When I read another memorial in the LLL, I will give thanks to those friends for all they've given the world while they were here.
