Long time
It's been such a long time since I posted. I'm just not sure what to say or feel. I definitely get through the days better and can talk about Adrienne and our experience without crying uncontrollably. Mostly, I just focus on work and school and home.
We did quite a bit of work on the house this year, but thankfully, that's done. I've left Adrienne's room as is with a bit of touching up and decorating like I know she would want it. Another mom suggested packing away things that I want to keep, so I put together a couple of boxes with her school things, stuffed animals, special books, and so on, just to make sure they're preserved and don't get lost. Daniel asked for some pictures, which he's framed and has in his room in Santa Barbara. All in all, things are going well for us in Nevada and California.

I happened to click on your blog which I have bookmarked, and saw that you posted today. I think about you often, and understand what you mean when you say it is easier to talk about Adrienne without crying. I too find it easier to laugh and smile when I remember things about Lisa. Our son in law gave us some mementos as he was going through Lisa's things. I haven't been able to listen to the CD of her singing yet....I will someday. Five years have passed for us since our daughter died. We're just trying to keep busy in retirement.
I know you will always miss your baby so very much, but I am glad that you are getting a little bit of peace in your life. What a valiant effort your family went through. I learned so much from reading Adrienne's story and posts. My sister battled lymphoma for two years, then finally had a stem cell transplant and she is now cancer free but still fighting severe GVHD and infections. She reminds me of Adrienne, she stays very positive and doesn't give up. I hope you know that Adrienne's story has touched and helped so many people all over the world. She was so strong. And so is your incredible love of her. Blessings to you. Anne
Just thought that you all should know that there is still people out there thinking and praying for yall much love and huggs (((())))
Thoughts are with you as always
I don't even know where to begin. I found your blog 2 years ago when my husband, Peter was diagnosed with stage IVB Hodgkins Lymphoma. As of today he has been in remission for one year. I have read this blog from "stem to stern" several times. I cannot imagine what it was like for you, to watch this beautiful young women succumb to this bastard, cancer. I have such a hate for this "thing" I am truly so very sorry for your loss, I love reading all of Adrienne's hobbies and how she loved to read. I love that you are keeping her alive through this blog. I'm sure it is therapeutic for you in a sense. Adrienne introduced me to this horrible disease and helped me understand what this "if you have to get cancer, this is the cancer you want" Pffft. Please know that there is someone in SE Wisconsin that thinks of you and Adrienne daily. I thank you for this blog.

Thinking of you! Today especially! <3
I think about you and your family, wondering how you're doing, and check your website once in a while. Glad you still keep up the blog. (I stopped blogging several years ago.) See myself going through some of the same kind of things as you, but with the calendar shifted a little later. Hoping you're well.
