This was really empowering. It's always good for me to remember the people who have things harder than I think I do. All the best to your friend and her wife.

Wow. Seems like we could all take a lesson from Ann, couldn't we?

She is beating the odds and if she has her way she’ll do so with grace and dignity.

What a wonderful and inspiring friend to have in your life.

I have no idea how someone can do this. I hope maybe I can find it in me if I ever find myself facing that kind of adversity.
