      It's been a VERY long time since I've been here.  Losing Eric was one of the hardest things I've ever been through in my entire life.  It's only by the grace of God that I made it through the first year, but I'm here.  Today I updated the Cancer Resource List on my blog for patients who are going through treatment.  I hope you find this helpful.

                Jill, Thanks for the list, looks helpful! Glad to know you felt God’s strength during this difficult year! You and Eric had an incredible story and faced his battle with melanoma with grace, determination, and faith! I hope you are finding some JOY again. God bless, Valerie (Phil’s wife)

                    Thank you very much.  Although I miss him so incredibly and my life will never be the same as it was when he was here, I have found joy.  Somedays are still rough but I'm slowly picking up the pieces and learning how to live again.  Thank you.

                                  It is so nice to see a post from you. I cried so hard when Eric died. Your husband went through so much and you were such an advocate and so supportive. I’m glad you are finding the strength to move forward. He has moved on, on the rest of his journey and you are too. I’m sure you miss him.

                                  Thank you for the resource list. You did a great job compiling it.

I can't find the words to express how touched I am by the few posts I read on your blog, and how amazed I am at the strength both of you have showed, and how completely awesome it is that you glorified God through everything you've been through. I hope you continue to find strength and peace in the Lord. Thank you for sharing yours and Eric's story, and thank you for sharing the updated resource list.
