(In memory of another GP friend lost. In honor of all of my fellow fighters.)
Broken-hearted, tear-stricken face Is everyday nature when running this race. Striving to move forward, regardless of pain. Hoping somehow, awareness will be gained. Sharing our inner most thoughts and feelings. Praying eventually we will find some healing. Gastroparesis is relentless, always in our way As we try to keep "living" each and every day. The nausea, the pain, the fatigue are constantly here. Life passing us by, is our greatest fear. We try to be normal, we try to have fun. But it doesn't take long for our bodies to be done. We try to be strong, keeping everything under control. Yet most days just surviving, is our number one goal. We smile, laugh, and cry each day with our friends, Never knowing when death will take one home again. Losing close friends, that were always there Makes Gastroparesis even harder to bear. We could try cutting ties in order to protect our hearts, But these are the friends whom are there, when we are falling apart. Our friendships bring comfort, when we are sad and allow much needed venting, when we are mad. Our friendships are real, we become so close As we understand each other, better than most. So as another Warrior gains their angel wings, We must keep fighting together, to see what the future brings. Let not our friends' passings, bring us down. Let not our sorrows, allow us to drown. Instead, stand tall as we show our pride And fight this fight, we must not hide. We will triumph and we will succeed, A helping hand is all that we need. Better treatments are not that far away We just have to keep fighting each and every day! So take my hand, we'll make our voices heard! Gastroparesis WILL one day be cured! © 2015 Trisha Bundy ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Thank you for putting this sad moment so eloquently, and so heart felt. I can't think of any one of us who doesn't feel this way, but I could never get it out like that. So many sad days, but all of my friends, and fellow warriors give me so many happy ones too.
