Okay, first of all, I’m so sorry that this is what you’re going through right now. It’s not fair. And no matter how many times we tell ourselves that life isn’t fair, it still sucks when it decides to dole out a big heaping plateful of unfair shit to us once again.

Secondly, you ARE strong and getting stronger by the minute. That’s clear and obvious. You’ll get through this, of that I have no doubt.

Finally, I hate myself for laughing at those pirate jokes, but in my defense they were damn funny. Besides, in the words of Truvy (played by Dolly Parton in Steel Magnolias), “Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion”.

Onward.

Crap on a cracker, Katrina! As if you haven’t been through enough these last few years?? I admire your courage and determination to take this all one day at a time. I laughed when you said you should stop googling, but you won’t. So fucking relatable 🙃😆.

I’m glad you and Hester have each other. Sending you light and love 🧡

Oof, what a piece of writing.

I too had a long wait between a doctor telling me “somethings wrong here” and finding out what that something was. Everything was, eventually, ok, but I’ll never forget the waiting. Sending good wishes to you x

Also, p.s., if you haven’t had a Guinness in Dublin or experienced Ireland's majestic green, I think you should add a trip here to your list!

Ireland is at the very tip-top of my travel list! I will get there someday soon! <3
