Even though cancer has taken so much away, it's given me something wonderful. Her name is Juliana. Juliana and I "met" a few years ago through a mutual friend. We were both super young when we got cancer, and bonded instantly. Juliana is the strongest, kindest, most geninue person I know. She can take more physical pain than anyone I know. I admire this girl so much. She never, ever, EVER complains.I admire her strength everyday. I've had some rough days the last few months and Juliana has always been there. I know Juliana is always a text away. If I need Juliana for anything she would drive up the snowy pass just to help me, hug me, or give me a reality kick in the butt. She is the one person who I know will always be there for me. I'm truly lucky to have her in my life.
So, what makes our friendship so unique? I've never met her. Hard to belive, huh. Juliana lives in Denver. I live a 2 1/2 hour drive up the mountian. We've tried many times to get together but things always seem to not work out. I think our last get together was blown by sick kids and a huge snowstorm. One day we'll meet up and I'll post lost of pictures :)))
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I need remember to count my blessings everyday. Juliana reminds me of this. She is my friend, hero, fellow LiveStrong buddy, animal lover, wife. and Mother.
I Love you Jewels!

OMG. You are so sweet. I cannot believe you. I feel the same way about you. I saw this guy on TODAY yesterday-the one who had to cut off his own arm. He said he would not change anything if he could. Meredith Vera was stunned. WHAT? He said have my arm back and lose what I gave to all these people...no way. That is how you and I both feel. That is so incredible and selfless. I just adore you---I am so glad that we have been there for each other so much over these years. I don't care that we have not met in person because I love you anyhow. You are an amazing woman and I am so proud to call you my friend.
