I just wanted to take the time to shout out a thank you to all those you gave me encouragement and understanding. I know things would have been a lot diffrent had I not found those who need to vent, cry, or just talk about their beloved best friend.

When I went back to Oregon State to get Shilo's staples out, I told all the students in training and the oncologist about this site. I told them they should give the information to future parents of the patients. It was here that got me through, and the hospital helped my girl.

I think that it is wonderful that there is a place to go where you know you will find others who are facing the same struggle, the same feelings, and making one feel a little more sane. I hope they and other hospitals refer this site, for our spirits need strength to be able to help those that we love. It is so easy to become overwelmed and down when you are struggling to make desicions for those who can't do it themselves.

I just want to say THANK YOU!! GO TRIPAWD'S!!
