That's wonderful to read, SA.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2015: Goodnight moon
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering.
Go away, 2015.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Thanks for sharing some good news, SA. I'm glad things are going so well for you!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
SA! It's good to see you posting, and it is good to hear that things are turning around for you. I'm sorry it took an illness to make that happen.

At this point I don't just hope they find a cure for cancer, I hope the cure involves somehow removing each individual cancer cell and making it die screaming as it withers away over a span of months.

I'm going on record and saying December does not exist for me, anymore. It is dead, dead, dead. I have lost three wonderful people over the years in this dratted month and I just want to skip right over it, thank you very much. Even Christmas--it's hard to be joyful when my heart hurts this much.

This, sadly, will not help Ginger or Meyrav (another friend I lost to cancer in July) or Eddie (my uncle who died in September) or a lot of other people, but I think my sister might have just started contributing to that very notion last year (her name is Shoham, and we do not share the same last name): [link] It's now being patented by the university.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Hurrah, Shosham, sister of Shir!
