I know it's been a while since I've posted and I told several people that I would keep updating Rachel's blog (I will continue to post). It's not possible to put into words how I feel now, without my best friend and sister. Getting back into the work routine was difficult, Rachel was part of my day. When I had a few free moments I would call and check on her or she would text me something funny or ask if I was going to visit her. The weekends as well are not the same, we would call each other if a stupid movie was on, that is, if we weren't together watching one or taking Iris and Vera somewhere or just sitting and talking. Actually, nothing is the same.
THANK YOU
My post tonight was to thank everyone for their kind words and generous acts during Rachel's battle and beyond. From Facebook friends and loyal readers of her blog to family and close friends and even strangers; people writing letters & cards and encouraging thoughts to Rachel, bringing food, donating to Rachel's charities, driving hours, flying across the states, sending care packages, presents for Iris & Vera, bake sales, organizing suppers, creating awareness about Lynch Syndrome, collecting money, organizing fundraisers, donating airline miles, lighting a candle, saying a prayer, sitting with her and holding her hand. Rachel was always so overwhelmed by the kindness of people, during this process I know how it feels to being on the receiving end of such generosity. Thank you again - our families appreciate your thoughtfulness.
