penni, Mike, I'll throw my personal two cents in here. My best friend from grade school, throughout high school, had the same experience. She had been in complete remission for well over five years when I saw her at the last reunion a few years ago, and she looked and felt better than most of us there. <vbg> I talk to her every now and again and we write. She was very sick twice with her disease, twice going into remission, over about a twelve-year period. I think what sets her apart is the very determined and positive spirit which she maintained throughout her ordeal, and her all-encompassing will to live. Holly

That's really encouraging, Michael, thanks for passing it on. We are hearing a lot of positive stories about lymphoma remissions and they are very optimistic and hopeful right now. It certainly has made me think about the way I'm spending each day. I think we all tend to see our lives as stretching limitlessly before us. Or at least with the limit far beyond where we can see it. We squander hours and times and people as if there were no end to the supply. She has asked her friends for laughter. So if anyone has light reading or jokes or suggestions, tell me please. I went to the book store yesterday for Prudence Macintosh's new book Just As We Were. She is a Dallas mom with three boys whose first book Thundering Sneakers was very funny. Guess I'll start reading the Joke thread!
