I Have Survivied...
I read this quote from Rachel Naomi Remen, MD who for nearly 50 years has been struggling with Crohn’s disease—a painful digestive condition, in an article from Oprah Magazine, April 2002.

Thank you 6point1. The article was several pages long on those who have discovered a strength within themselves through very difficult times. I read it back in 2002, and found where I had underlined and “stared” favorite, inspirational sentences & paragraphs…this was one of many. It didn’t seem to take long b/c I got caught up in what I was rereading…thank you so much for your kindness and time.

I appreciate the quote you have put here jequstavsen…
I was told I could be “dead in a year” in Nov 1996! Have had a brain tumour removed in 1996 and another zapped with 6 weeks of radiotherapy in 2004… has been interesting given it is the short term memory and word selection part of the brain that has been zapped/partially removed!!!
This is a very appropriate statement for many of us and our associated families and friends.
Thanks for uploading it!

PS… I have added this to my “buy list” as a card and once I accumulate a significant number of works, I will receive a copy. I have a guy who my Neurologist suggested I talk to who went through the same experience as me and is now a good friend… I will send this to him in due course.

Craig, thank you so much for your very encouraging and kind words. I have not been close experiencing what you and your family have, but I know it must take a lot of courage. I have gone through personal turmoil that has helped me redirect my way of living. There is another quote titled “courage” I rewrote and loaded into my RB when i first joined that I have sitting at my desk at home that means a lot to me. I also work in a dialysis facility that is another daily of how every moment counts.
You are a miracle, I appreciate your encouraging words, thank you again.
