Your moving post made me cry...thank you, my sweet friend!
It was a treat and a thrill to see you--you are a beautiful, stylish, petite woman with verve, wit, and a radiant smile!
It certainly lifted my spirits like nothing has in a long while. Made me realize how indefatigably strong, and vital we are, in spite of our disease, in spite of the pandemic--we carry on. We work, teach, love, laugh, play, raise kids, cook meals, and clean homes, We do it all while battling this disease, and by God, we can still smile through it.
When I saw you, Jamie, so lovely, and vibrant, in spite of all that you are going through, it made me realize in a visceral way: We will overcome this--I feel it in my bones.
Seeing you gave me that precious gift of hope all over again,
Thank you. |
