Happy birthday to Trin, May 30, 2009!

Happy birthday to Trin, May 30, 2009!  

Dear Trin,

This is the second birthday you’re celebrating during your long, seventy-two week treatment.

Your lively intelligence, unflagging determination, down-to-earth practicality and enduring strength set an example for me every day.  A truer friend than you would be hard to find.

Come this Fourth of July, citizens of the U.S. and pilgrims from around the world will again ascend to the crown barred to us since September 11, 2001.  I wish you and I could do that climb together.

We’d laboriously and breathlessly climb the narrow, rickety stairway within the hollow interior of the Statue of Liberty and gaze, like Liberty herself, beyond the ocean horizon.

“…Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles…
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Emma Lazarus wrote this to Liberty in 1883.  

Happy birthday to my steadfast pal, Trinity.  I wish you liberty from HCV.

Port

P.S.  Since your hemoglobin isn’t rock-bottom, I hope you can blow out your candles without help from the grandkids.

Oh goodness.  I'm so touched.  Thank you all so very much.

Port, so many thoughts exchanged over the last year.  You've pulled me up from the depths of hell many times and I'll bet you didn't even know it.  You are without a doubt one of the kindest, most caring people I know.  I am the lucky one.

It's been a long haul hasn't it?  If I thought I couldn't do it, I wouldn't of made the commitment.  I'm pretty sure I've gone through every side effect tx throws at us except low hgb.  I just keep kicking them to the curb so I can take that next shot and put one more week behind me.  My appearance has been bothering me more than anything else lately.  57 today and I've aged 15 years. I want to be healthy again. 10 more shots left and the I hope for the best and wish everyone SVR from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you all for your support and understanding.  There is no one else on this earth that really knows how much our lives are altered except all of you.  I don't have to write it because you know.  Without you I'm not sure where I would be right now.  You've made me get up, suck it up and move forward yet shown such tremendous compassion and love.  That my dear friends has been the best birthday present I've ever received in my life.  

Off to the zoo with the kids.  Thought about staying home but after reading your thoughtful wishes my energy has been renewed.  Hot dang, I'm going to make 57 a day to remember.  After all, it's certainly been a monkey house around here so let's go swing the monkeys!

I am indebted to you all.

Love,
Trin

Happy B-day Trinity!

Yup, Trin, as CA said, several of us will be finishing about the same time.  I hit the single digit 9 last night after I dropped number 10 in the sharps bucket.  

I hope you enjoyed your day!!

Hiya Trin, late to the party here!  Bottoms up to the rootbeer in your honour and blowing birthday horns from Canada.  I hope you had an awesome day with the grandkids and celebrated your birthday in Trinity-style.  

Don't worry about the appearance - I aged during treatment also and started to look my age, my daughter tells me.  Now that treatment is done, I've recovered that as well.  SVR will look beautiful on you regardless and I'm so glad you're in the home stretch.

Will look forward to what next year's birthday will bring.  All the best to you.
