Heavens how do you follow a post like that....as you all can see I am so very blessed. I have the most incredible friends and family. I am not sure that I would be fortunate enough to realize that love had I not faced the struggles that I have in my life over the last 5 years. As you can see by my sisters post we all get caught up in our own lives. Family would come to visit and I would find myself to busy to spend quality time with them. I can only hope that those of you reading these posts call someone in your life that you have not talked to in some time just to catch up. I spent over 3 weeks in the hospital surrounded by my friends and family with cards, emails, visits and phone calls I would not have gotten through it without your prayers and support I cannot possibly thank each of you enough nor express how much it has all helped me through a very difficult time.
I am doing very well, still experiencing some pain and weakness however I do think I am getting along and progressing each day. I go to chemotherapy every friday and not experiencing too many side effects. I have gone back to work a few hours a day, I will say it wears me out but I am so happy to be back. Luke has been going to all sorts of camps he had the opprotunity to go back to Bridges for a week with some old friends and he loved it. This week he is in baseball camp which he is really enjoying however he is very tired when he gets home. Brett is doing well and business is steady in the summer it does slow down a bit which is good I think simply due to the heat that they all contend with working on the cars outside. I am still not a lot of help in the evenings or outside with the yard so he is busy but doesn't complain.
Again, thank you all for your continued prayers.
"If God brings you to it.
He will bring you through it."

Hi Trini,
It is great to know that you are feeling better and stronger, and can even go to work for a little while.
Love the pictures of you and Luke, (what a cutie he is!) and with Tami as well, (what a super sister she is!).
I am keeping Betsy updated on your progress since she is currently only online at work, and is unable to blog. She sends her best wishes and keeps you in her thoughts as well. I was recently in VT to help take care of her son, Logan (17 months)who had pneumonia. Betsy probably had it as well, but both are doing much better now. Fortunately her husband Dan and I managed to dodge it!
Continue to take good care of yourself and to grow even stronger, and feel even better, day by day.
You remain close in our hearts.
Hugs,
Jean

Hi Trini,

I know you've heard this from me before, but thank you for having this online, so that others (like me), can stay up-to-date, without being intrusive!

I get my Trini-fix through this website... so thank you again for sharing your journey with us, because we are there with you, continuously in our thoughts and in our prayers!

Please say hi to your Mom for me... you may not be aware, but my Dad was President of her fan club!!!!

Hope I made you smile... like you do for all of us!

Love,
Aileen

I just got one of those forwarded emails that I often can't stand. For some reason I opened it. For obvious reason I thought immediately of you, Trini. I'm not computer literate enough to cut and paste the part that caused chills to run down my spine. I saw the verse "If God brings you to it, He'll bring you through it". This seems to be a motto for you and I think of it often, in my own struggles as well as in thoughts and prayers for you and your family. I've pasted the link below (not sure if it will work). It's one of those you're supposed to pass on, but that's not why I'm sending it to you. I send it to you for comfort, to let you know that there are many people out there that you may think you didn't even make any impact on . . . but you did. It is an honor for my family and I to pray for you, and we wish you the best.

Though it has been way too many years, I have just learned of your diagnosis and can not get you out of my constant thoughts and prayers. After reading your blog, I want to let you know how much your internal strength is a inspiration to all. I'm happy to read that you are at home and back to work. I will continue to read about your progress in your blog.I loved seeing pictures of your son. Luke is absolutely beautiful!!!I know that life has been challenging, ALWAYS know that you have a childhood friend that is here for you to talk, laugh and cry. Please feel free to call or e-mail me, I would LOVE to hear from you!!!
All my love,
