I hope for the best, but sometimes the light gets dark...but I keep on believing for the best...I have to, or I will fall apart. I try to be upbeat as I have always been with her, because if I let her see me depressed and not smiling or laughing I feel she will fade away, and give up what hope she may have left. I think that if we still believe, and have hope, that they can sense it and feel it, but when someone gives up on them, I think they give up on themselves....I've had relatives tell me she was going to die years ago, and well she is still here....thank you for your support, and kindness it means so much!
