I know that we have only met a couple times,...Dori,<br />I know that we have only met a couple times, and we don't really know anything about each other. I want you to know that I have been reading your blogs and you have been on my mind A LOT lately. <br /><br />Nothing anyones says or does will make any of this easier. I want to share with you what my mother told me recently. She said "Ashley, I always told you that the Milligans (my last name) were special, but maybe you're also just a bit human." <br />So Dori try to remember that however horrific and sublime your moments sway, you are human, and so is everyone else in this world. Try to forgive yourself and others in this very difficult time. Let yourself feel what you feel and forgive yourself for the days that you don't live up to your own expectations. All you can do is take it one day, one moment at a time. Lean on others when you can and when they offer. Let yourself be human.<br /><br />Hope to see you soon and know you're in my thoughts,<br />AshleyAshley Milliganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11133019359366093465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863435713861042468.post-50941574120495135562010-08-02T11:02:02.872-07:002010-08-02T11:02:02.872-07:00I know someone who would join you on that Cancer I...I know someone who would join you on that Cancer Ice Journey, Dori...We even have the "Hot Mess" t-shirt!Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425651206797342038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863435713861042468.post-52674503260331517792010-08-02T09:58:10.977-07:002010-08-02T09:58:10.977-07:00It sounds like it's time for the Hot Mess to c...It sounds like it's time for the Hot Mess to come and go on a Cancer Ice Journey with me.

I can imagine the toll this is taking on you and everyone in your inner circle. <br /><br />It is so hard to watch a loved one go through torturous medical procedures, to feel helpless in the face of a powerful force that you can't control. To have to stand and watch someone be constantly poked with needles, or have tubes shoved down their throats, and other invasive procedures and stand strong, when your instinct may be to run and hide, like you say... bury yourself under the covers until it is over. It is one of the worst feelings in the world. <br /><br />In the face of this burden, all I can do is continue to hope and pray for the best for you, and renew my offer to help you in any way that I can. <br /><br />I love you girl. Please call or text me if you ever need ANYTHING! <3daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18305502450529232995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863435713861042468.post-67920222248908526522010-08-01T22:14:42.766-07:002010-08-01T22:14:42.766-07:00I can't imagine what sort of constant stress c...I can't imagine what sort of constant stress cancer puts on a person, much less the ties between people. But I am happy that you are still here, and hopeful that the chemo is minimally crappy and maximally effective. Or something that makes sense. I care, and I am in your corner, I just haven't reached out much since I don't know what I can offer to you that would be helpful or wanted. I don't know if you still have my number, but if you do you can use it any time. If you don't you can email me. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
