Congratulations, Meredith. Your poems are so beautiful. I recently came across the poems you sent to my brother and they made me weep, for your pain, for his pain, for the joy of your transcendence, for the bittersweet joy of Gary's Transcendence...it's right and good that you use your voice to speak inspiration and comfort - you're a blessing to all of us touched by cancer. Thank you. And I'm totally in on that piece (2 pieces?) of chocolate to celebrate too!
