(21,210 posts)to situations, some rally and others fade away. As my sis says it is a true measurement of those who are in your lifeboat and those whose are not. It is not meant to belittle people who do not step forward as sometimes they mean well, they might just be less assertive under different situations. But there are people who take charge under most conditions ... the people you want in 'your life boat.' We are so fortunate to have some people in that category. A friend of my sister's who lost her husband to lymphoma last year while waiting for a transplant said to me tonight 'you have the best sister' ... I could not agree more.
Thanks for acknowledging the unsung heroes, both family and friends, they mean so much on this journey. I'm so happy that your family has stepped up to help you during a difficult time.
All the best to you and everyone on this path, it is not easy, but family and friends make the path less daunting.
Hugs
