    Thanks Pam. Sorry but BIG KU fan here. At least you are not a North Carolina fan.

    I appreciate you reading my blog and getting to know how great Shirley was.

    Oh and P.S…..dog is rotten. But I adore him.

    Teresa,

    I love the picture of you and your sister Shirley. I am especially partial to redheads since my daughter is one.

    I read your blog every few days and it brings smiles and tears. I’m sure your four legged baby would enjoy meeting my Dalmatian Cameron. (Named because we are avid Duke fans and he has a Duke blue eye). Plus since Cameron is our third Dally we had already used the names Sparky and Domino….lol

    You remain in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs to you and your family.

    Love,
    Pam

    Teresa, love the picture of you and Shirley. You can see the love and strength of two beautiful, wonderful women. I know you miss her terribly. I feel negative some too, but everyone here puts up with me too, no matter what.

    Praying for better tomorrows,
    Carol

    Teresa,

    You can’t help but get negative at times. We have all been through so much. I get negative too. It is so hard to stay postive all the time. Like you said, it just doesn’t work. We are all here to help & support each other when we need it the most. You are right, this site & the people on it are all amazing.

    It is amazing the support you receive and I know that it will get better.

    I do hope that the picture I posted of my sister and I on this website will show the world how much I love her. I can feel our love every time I look at that picture.

    Thank you guys for the support. I know I get negative on here sometimes…I tried being positive in the beginning and it didn’t work. Thanks for putting up with me.

    Dear Teresa,

    You are absolutely right. Everything about this SUCKS!!! I know just what you are saying. It is so hard to believe that they are gone & will never be here with us again. I saw the picture you posted & Shirley was a beautiful person and so are you. I can only say again what keeps me going. They may be gone, but they will all be with us, in our hearts forever.

    I too hate this cancer for how it has affected all of us. Atleast we all have each other to lean on for strength & support. God bless this site & everyone on it.

    Love & Hugs,
    Darla

    Wow, this was comforting to see the posts on here this morning. I’m not o.k. She should be here with me. It sucks when during the day I get the need to talk to her or get some advice from her like I did every single day of my life and she is not here. I’m not sure that will ever get better. And I hate that there are so many people going through it. I am sad for everyone.

    Dear Teresa,

    God bless you and comfort you. You remind me of my cousin Sharan. At the end, when my husband was on hospice here at home, she fly across the country to be with us at the end. She is my closest friend, and she is a former hospice nurse, and I can”t tell you what that meant to me to have her here for us. I will never forget her kiindness in doing that final favor – I don’t know how I could hae gotten through it alone. You are so right – this is a horrid, horrid disease, and I pray every day for a cure.

    Teresa,
    I am so sorry for your loss. I keep writing this, but sisters are so special. I am sure your presence by her side eased her and brought her comfort. I cant imagine your pain and I dont know what to say. Please try to remember Shirley as SHE was not as cc made her. The end must have been terrifying and so emotional. Please take time to heal and talk about your sister with friends and family. People who knew her and who she was.

    I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

    Teresa,
    My heart aches for you. I wish there were words that could make the hurt go away, or even lessen a little bit. All I can say is I’m so sorry for your loss, and my prayers are with you and your family.

    Tano,

    I am sorry for your loss.

    I am always struck by how this disease strikes such young people. I have told my 86 year old father that if anything, he is lucky he got this now instead of 40 years ago.

    I expect we will see more of this disease as the use of statins continues.

    It is time for you to take care of yourself now.

    Teresa –

    I followed Shirley’s story on your blog and could feel the love you had for each other in the words that you wrote. I know you miss her with every ounce of your being. I don’t believe any sister could have done more than you did to help her.

    Also, I want you to know how much your blog meant to me as I, too have a sister with cholangiocarcinoma – she is 43.

    I am thinking of you and your family at this very hard time in your life.

    Hi Teresa,

    I also lost my sister to this horrible disease. She was 32 years old and left her husband and four young children behind.

    I can so relate to what you are saying about being best friends for 40 years. I do have a lot of friends, but I still miss my sister.

    It has been 2 years since she passed away and there are still days that out of no where, I just start crying. I think time has helped some, but as you said, my life will always be sadder since losing her.

    I hope you find comfort in all the wonderful memories you have of your beautiful sister.

    Take care of yourself!

    Karen
