You anticipate my every need, and perform mundane tasks with such love and grace. They say that you have your first child for you, but you have a second child for the first. I thanked Mom recently for having you, because you are such a precious gift to us all.<br /><br />I love you,<br />Your big sister.Liz Carmichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02871918776269664759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136813361083646853.post-36096119290322379642013-06-04T07:04:26.353-07:002013-06-04T07:04:26.353-07:00I love the Ahn and Carmichael family!

And it looks like it's another knock out by our undefeated champion Liz! Of course! And thank you for sharing your heart and words through this blog. I always learn something special about you and feel so much closer to you each time you write. And trust me... you won't be needing anyone to watch after Joe and Evan because you will be there to witness Evan grow up into the brilliant man he is destined to be and grow really really old alongside your love Joe... wrinkles and sagging boobs and all... well actually a little botox and a little snip snip can always take care of the last part... so you will have it all covered! <br /><br />Hand in there tonight my love!!

Dr. Shibuya said the surgery went really smoothly, and there was no nerve damage. An initial examination of the cyst, which they were able to remove whole, indicates its benign with no cancer. She's tired, but able to speak in short amounts and is already making fun of her little sister. So, things are on their way to normal. ;) <br /><br />My parents have already come by with Evan, who was so excited to see his mommy he just stood there laughing and holding her hand. We were a little nervous about letting him climb up onto the bed, but after reminding him to be gentle, and at my sister's request, he climbed up and just lay there, hugging her side and smiling. There's something so special about the innocent joy of a child, and I could tell it made my sister's whole body lighten with happiness. In a world filled with Norco, hydrocordone, morphine, and zophran, nothing eases pain as quickly as the soft embrace and laughter of a child.<br /><br />Many thanks to everyone for their prayers, good wishes, and support. I know we couldn't have made it this far without you. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions; I'm always here if you need.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14823315187099006379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136813361083646853.post-20473148628110575592013-06-03T10:48:29.037-07:002013-06-03T10:48:29.037-07:00Liz, you are going to live until 101.

Like you said, you don't think cancer from what you've acquired, you just see endless love. <br /><br />You truly are 'Titanium' because you continue to see the fullness and richness of life; you continue to see the glass overflowing instead of it being half empty. <br /><br />So crazy...last night, I felt dread for you thinking about today. It once again reminded me of your strength and endurance. t's funny because the last mile is always the <br />hardest; it's always that last stretch. But I know as you push through it, you will get only stronger in overcoming that last mile, kind of when the runner gains supernatural strength and momentum to cross the finish line at the end. It will so be worth it! We all can't wait!<br /><br />Joe and Cat, I truly see you as the "pillars" which continue to hold up Liz; it's your faith in her that continues to uphold her and give her strength. <br /><br />Sharon, you are Liz' sunshine. Whenever you around, everything brightens up. Even when things feel dark, your presence brings her hope, joy and laughter. <br /><br />Gomo and Uncle,Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01197562726816357868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1136813361083646853.post-9380185219776281752013-03-27T21:09:46.408-07:002013-03-27T21:09:46.408-07:00I know today was tough and painful my love...
