I found this blog recently and while many things I read here moved, me this post did especially. It correlated with a post I was writing for my blog and I quoted Andrea, and linked back to this entry. Of course if you find that inappropriate, let me know, and I will remove it. God bless your family, I am sorry for your loss. Hello Andrea’s friends and family.

I found this post through the perfect post awards, and I find myself suddenly unable to control my tears. I didn't click here expecting such an amazing and intimate story. I am amazed by the amount of peace that you seem to have found, and hope that it will continue for you until the end. I will keep you and your family in my prayers, and hope that whatever time you have left is spent in love and exactly how you want it. Thank you for sharing yourself with all of us strangers - you've touched a lot of people. I’ve never read your blog before, and I don’t know you.

It takes courage to say no to more treatment and to make your own choices. I hold your family in my thoughts. I don’t know you, but I want to wish you peace and safe passage.

As you know I had expectations, as many do. Time to hold your benefit, a chance to get to meet you in order to bring you the $ from the benefit. Now I fear that I won't have that chance. I will still have the benefit. I apologize for not getting it done prior to now. I wish you the best in the hard journey ahead, I wish your family acceptance and healing and thoughts of nothing but love and good memeories of you. I wish I could meet you, but I refuse to try and take up what little time you have left to be with those you love. You have touched me, Andrea, in such a profound way after not even meeting you. I admire you and hope to be like you when I try to grow up. Blessing of the lightest peace. Heather in Florida. I’ll make this one short. As you know I had expectations, as many do.

We're almost like friends! I shoot up a prayer for you and even more for your family who may suffer more, now and again. You are still here, and I pray for peace and joy to permeate your being - even if you're knocked out on drugs. Today I took a nice snooze on the couch. It was nice to relax. I hope as you come to the end of your life you'll just accept and enjoy the sleepiness as you decompress. I trust you will not suffer too much pain. That even in your pain you can smile at the ones you love. Good night Andrea. I'll see you on the other side. I love you. Hey Andrea,

I just want you to know I am here. Reading, being with you in this way, a stranger crying, because of your strength, your beauty (both inside and out), your amazing family, and this incredible loss we will all feel, even us strangers, when you are gone. I am so happy to know you are able to laugh. You, by being you, have given your children and your family an incredible gift. Thank you for letting me share that with you. Much love to you. Much love to your family. Tricia I wanted to write to say though we have “chatted” via a comment once or twice, you don’t know me. I just want you to know I am here.

Two years ago I lost my Mother to cancer and miss her and think about her every day. When I read this post I thought a lot about my Mom. She too decided to stop her treatment when she knew the end was near. It was the bravest and most stoic experience and while I was devastated, I fully supported her & understood her decision. You have been blessed with a big, beautiful family of bright children, a loving husband and many exceptional friends. What an amazing legacy! The one thing I wish I would have told my Mom was that dying at such a young age--she would always be young and beautiful in our memories. I wish your family these same memories of their amazing Mother. May G-d bless you and I wish you peace.
