Merium,
I am 1200 miles away from my family and friends. I first had a stroke then breast cancer. I know my healing without God and my husband would not have been as fast or easy as it was without them both. He was with me every step of the way. My best friend, who lives in NM, called me every night, almost, and sent me gifts like flannel PJs and cuddley things, we live in OH and it was cold. Support is a key to having a healthy attitude and welness in my opinion. My 3 sons called often of course, but were not like my husband and best friend.
