I was thinking I would miss the rain. I wonder if you can experience the rain in Heaven, if God will let you dip your wings down... But my biggest expectation now is just to live. I will not go gently into that goodnight.

As much as I would have liked to have kept my cancer private, I now realize that I have a certain responsibility to those who are fighting their own fights and may be able to benefit from learning about mine.

Throughout the journey of my life, I have maintained a strong faith in the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity. I deeply believe in one's own positive will to overcome even the most daunting challenges.

It is seriously time for a miracle.

My number one goal is to love, support and be there for my son.

Cancer is my own private war. The strain, the nausea, the fever take turns challenging my strength, my mind and my spirit.

God gave women intuition and femininity. Used properly, the combination easily jumbles the brain of any man I've ever met.
