Hi guys, having a quiet moment here as she is sleeping and wanted to say thank you all for the support and your kind messages.  Today chemo started and she handled it well.  I am finally getting past the initial shock and am able to think beyond that initial devastating news.  It's hard to have time to answer everyone personally because she is still in ICU and they are coming in to check on her frequently but know I did get all your messages and they mean so much to me.  You guys are helping more than you could possibly know. And I want to share some good news with you, I found out today I am going to be an Aunt again :-)   my nephew and his wife are expecting their first child:-)   thanks for understanding that that last message from me was so hard to type and so personal that I needed to keep it personal between us sisters. I don't mind talking about her on the board it's just every once in awhile there may be something hard for me to say that I'm more comfortable saying privately to you sisters off the board you know....I am still me though and Luv was right when she said I want you to keep celebrating each other so happy belated birthday Gabriele :-)  and I still expect you guys to have a premiere party :-) .....the last few days have been the hardest of my life and will continue to be for awhile but I can say it out loud now.....my daughter has cancer....for me just being able to say that is a big step thanks for holding my hands through this and I am still gripping tightly to all of yours and leaning on your shoulders and please keep praying....and prayerfully one day soon she will be well enough to leave the ICU.....I don't think I will breathe easily again until she does. I will update again when I can....love you guys

 
Sending you and your daughter strength and love!! xoxo

And an interesting article on Patti LaBelle...Parade Magazine.

I was looking at her Facebook...she has almost 1 1/2 million "likes" . So even though I thought she might be one of the first to go home, those fans may keep her there longer than even she and Artem want.  LOL

LOL.......like I have said, I stopped shipping them awhile ago.  Just want them to be happy and if they dance again.....enjoy that.  I kind of believe that Maks is with Peta, not sure on Meryl but if she is happy, I am happy.  I maintain that even though the MnM ship has sank.....you can still hope, dream or whatever as long as "this" friendSHIP sails on.

Luv,

Funny how things work out. I was going to leave this board when I realized that M&M might not be together and in all likelhood wouldn't be in the future for that matter.  It was April who convinced me to stay.  Now, the most important thing to me is not whether M&M are together or not but that we all ok.  We kind of take each others burdens and worries on because we have grown into a family, separated by geography but together in more important and meaningful ways. 
If Meryl truly is in a relationship with someone else, then I am happy for her.  Maks may or may not be with peta, I personally don't care but I know I will never ship that romance. 
Right now I am preoccupied with April and CEK to worry much about Maks' love life. 
 

April has always been the glue that has held us together.......may we be able to do for her what she has done for us.

I agree Luv.

Thinking of you, April. xoxo

I am not sure WHY the writer of this story think this looks good.  (talking about the close up side view)

Honestly, if I never had to look at her again, it would be ok with me.  Sounds harsh?  Maybe but she is an attention whore and I find her to be pathetic. It's like watching a train wreck, you try not to look but something pulls you in and you look anyway.

I guess I am young and vain, but if I could look like that again, you'd better believe I'd be walking around in midriff shirts like Peta and Meryl.
