Our thanks

I've been doing a little reading on various sites about cancer in general, AML, coping, dealing, ect., ... not as much as some of you, but hey, we're living it man. One common thread I've noticed, not everywhere but frequently, is the idea that "You're not alone..." I do think that there's something more or less unique about everyone's battle with cancer. Also I don't think most of you can relate to exactly what we're going through (a few of you can though). But from the very beginning, right up to now, I have not once felt as though we're alone.
You don't have to know how to mill flour and bake bread to know that you like to eat it. Likewise, you or your spouse don't have to have cancer to know that this is an aweful situation. Some of the hard or sad day to day details most of you will never experience (God willing), but at the end of the day we still know that you're worried right there with us.
Thanks to all of the family, friends, friends of friends, co-workers of friends, neighbors, prayer groups, long lost ushers, daycare parents, teachers, doctors, nurses, friends of nieghbors, and co-workers doctors friends. You all have prevented us from experiencing at least one of the apparently common side effects of cancer, feeling alone. Amanda and I love and appreciate you all.
