Hi Sarit,

there really are no words to respond to this kind of pain.
It just makes no sense to both our brains and hearts.
The only comfort is that in these days this kind of diagnosis
is so much more treatable.
And yes, we will. hold you as you hold them. And cornflakes can be comfort.

Love,

Kathleen
