"oh man, are you SERIOUS?! deann you are worth so much more than that, and i hope you realize it. i'll be praying for you because i know you must have so much running through your mind, lots of decisions to make. hopefully this year will be a year of good changes for you, a year of freedom and transcending. :) xoxo" - amanda

"midwifery school? YAY! my clinical instructor this semester was BSN RN MSN CNM and she is so talented and just really gifted at what she does - i believe all moms need midwives. they see the "big picture" when sometimes the monotony of medicine just wants to go with the flow, ya know?

"Great post. I used to be the one who didn't even tell friends and non-immediate family members, and I think blogging, among other things, helped me realize it's OK to talk about it. Like Britta said, "Sometimes people not knowing is the hardest thing of all." I found out how much support I do have by being able to talk to my friends about it. As for blogging, I don't want sympathy, I just need to get it out sometimes. And let me tell you, the emails I get saying "I'm going through ____ and your blog just gave me hope," keep me from getting to shy to do it anymore. I have people who read my blog that I know and see all the time, who are friends and live out of state, and complete strangers who every now and then will send that email or even do it in a comment. As long as I can help someone along the road a little, I'm not shying away from being raw and real, every post." - amanda

"I’ve been a student long enough to say WELL SAID. Great post. Again." - amanda

"Thank you. I have liver disease. Pretty bad. Haven't drank in my life - I'm 22 and I got it when I was 5. I once had a NURSE asked me why I drank so much that I would get a liver this bad. Huh?! Completely caught me off guard. Then there's the "Oh my aunt had a transplant. You know, it was sad she died a month later." Oh gee thanks. Sometimes people need to think a little harder before they talk. :(" - amanda
