Hi Cooper,

Although you’re more than ten years younger than me, I just wanted to let you know that I understand what you’ve been through and that you’re not alone.

My mom passed away from this horrible disease just last month – June 27, 2006. It’s still really hard and some days are more difficult than others, but we are trying to get theough it the best we can. It’s just my brother and I – he’s 19 – but the rest of my family (grandparents, aunts, cousins, etc.) and friends have been very good to us.

If you ever want to talk, please feel free to e-mail me. It’s unfortunate to make friends this way, but I think it helps to have an ally who knows what you’re going through – firsthand. This goes for everyone on the boards…I’ve been finding comfort in talking to people and sharing experiences.

Thanks and take care,

Karen
