i started reading up on it and got even more scared. seeing pictures of children with this tore me apart. it's so sad.

on a good note though, 2 co-workers have known people with leukemia. the one lady i ride to work with in the morning. she had a friend who's daughter was diagnosed with leukemia at age 12. she's gone into remission several times and is still in remission today. she's in her 30's. the other co-worker, it's her granddaughter who is 6 that has it. she's in and out of hospitals all the time for treatments (chemo) but has now recently been in remission and doing well.

these two friends of mine from work made me feel so much more at ease. i did function at work, in fact, going to work and not staying home was the best thing for me. it keeps my mind busy so i don't have time to think about all of this.

i'm still in shock, so is krystal. we all are.
