Yahoo!
I am here to say that she deserves HER DAY!
She honored us all by sharing her journey. She cares for us all by offering love and support.
Now we can return that love and care and honor.

Oh My God! What are you guys doing! Debbie...........I'm so embarrassed! I can see Kris Carr Day, or Debbie Day, or Callie Day, I mean you guys are kicking the shit out of cancer. You guys got it tied up in the corner! I'm just witnessing this and sharing my icky feelings with the not so pretty side of cancer. Tom was truely one of the best people I knew. He didn't deserve to go out the way he did. If I hadn't met all of you, I'd be so fucking pissed off at the world right now. You guys saved my life. I mean it. I'm not just saying it. There are so many emotions that go along with cancer. For the people that get the fucking diagnosis, and the people who love them with all their heart. It is an emotional roller-coaster. I just want everyone here that is living with cancer to feel loved, because you can't beat that with a stick. For me to be able to share my feelings, without fear of being judged, is a gift. You guys are the gift. Not me! You keep me close to Tom. You all share his spirit. You remind me of him. Coming here is like getting a great big bear hug from Tom. When you all held my hand while he was sick, it was like you were holding his hand too. I told him all about my posse here, and how much you guys were pulling for him, and praying for him, and when he heard that there were so many people praying for him, he wept. He was so touched by all of you. You didn't have to meet him in person to touch his life. You did it from right where you are standing, and you touched my life too. You know he is in Heaven now, keeping an eye on all of you and holding your hand, just like you did for him. And as long as I'm here, I'll be holding your hands too. I have to. That is what you do for the ones you love. I love you all so fricking much. God I love you guys. This is too much!

Well, looks like I'm late to the party...at least for today! Goon hope you've had a fab day & have been able soak up & receive the bounty of love that is here for you. One of the gifts you bring here & to your Tom, is the fabulous gift of the presence of Love & caring and that is a very powerful force, really the strongest there is. Giving yourself, including your vulnerability is a great gift, because it connects us at the heart level & that's really the best & truest place of connection...and at the end of the day, it's really the place that matters most. That is really what you gave Tom (in my humble opinion)...you gave him yourself, your heart. Love is the currency of connection & healing. Swim in it girl & surf the waves of it flowing your way! Love to you!

Dear Goony,
Don't be shy! Let people love you. You have been helping me so much because every time I read your story, I feel like it's okay to still be grieving my cousin. Your blogs are helping soooo many people because they are raw, honest and even though it may be hard for you to see, filled with hope. Because even though it hurts, you are doing the hard work. And that gets you back to the life Tom would want you to have.

I am so glad you posted a pic of Tom. In a way, it makes it "click" for me what you are going through because he looks so beautiful and open and I can see why you must miss him.

I just wanted to say, I think you are the best, I love seeing your growth, even if it is coming from struggle, it is a great example and you, lady, are an inspiration.

Goony,
Like I've said many times, you've let us into your life, shared many difficult things with this group, and have been real. That is a gift. You are also hysterically funny, it just kind of rolls off your tongue and I love it. You are the real deal.....you share the good, bad and the not so good. Like you've told me. life is fucking hard!! I know I have learned so damn much from you in just a couple of weeks. And by the way, you have given to me the gift of becoming more aware of "signs" and have brought my Uncle back into my life again. May sound strange to some but goony knows wht I'm talking about. I will always love you for that! You are changing lives whether you realize it or not. I'm i n agreement with Deb and Clint. National Huggy Month! Jenn
