I can only hope that this little girl can make my sister realize how precious life is. How precious her life is and how much she is needed here. She has been having a bad couple of days and I can't imagine what in the world I can do to make her feel any better physically or mentally. I just know this... right now I need everyone to stop for one minute and realize the people around them. How they all effect you and your life. Your family, friends... coworkers. Even your family's friends, who become like family to you after so many years. Cindy makes a big impact to people she meets and knows. When I see her with Melissa its amazing that someone who had such little patience for me has a world of patience for this little baby.
Cindy is scared, angry, hurting and in pain all the time. I wish I could take even a fraction of it away and I cant. There isnt a person right now in this world who can make her feel even slightly better about what is going on. But I pray that she fights this. She's just not trying and I'm scared. I always knew that she was the one better at organizing things, and taking care of situations and giving good ideas. She was always better at taking care of her personal life. I still fear I cant manage on my own!
Could someone please tell me that this will all be ok? That this roller coaster of a nightmare will be slowing down soon and that Cindy will fight this.... I know I said I was keeping this journal so everyone can keep up with her progress but I guess tonight I felt like venting. And for whoever reads this... thanks for "listening".
Appreciate the people around you as well as everything around you. Appreciate every sunrise and sunset you see, the sweet smell of fresh cut grass, butterflies, good food, family, your pets that give you unconditional love, hugs, kisses, laughter, a cool breeze, and everything else that makes up life. Theres so much to see and do in the course of a person's life and most people dont even do a fraction of it.

Hi Sherry, its me...Grace Benjamin from Arizona!! Today has been the first time that I'm able to read your journal entries on this website. I think that this was a fabulous idea to do!!! I'm sure its helping many family and friends to keep up with all the stuff thats going on. Hopefully, its also helping you to get thru everything everyday. Me and Marc and my whole family still can't believe everything thats happening to Cindy is true. I really wish that there was something we could do to help. We are also praying for your whole family. Please remain as strong as you can. Sloan Kettering is the BEST hospital for Cindy's treatment. We will be coming to New York in October. I hope that we will be able to see you and your family. Its been such a while since the last time we've been together. We really need to catch up and have a fun nite with Cindy. I'll call you guys when it gets closer and see what we can do. Take care and tell your parents I said Hi! I pray that Cindy will be feeling better soon so she can come home from the hospital. Love Always, Grace.
Sherry: Eileen and Jerry thank you for creating this Journal so we can follow Cindy's PROGRESS and we never lose hope that with time there will be progress. Yes, there will be good days and bad, but if there is anything to "the power of prayer", Cindy will be fine because of the number of people out here with positive thoughts and prayers. We love the Levine family and won't let anything happen to any one of you. Keep the faith!
My dear...
The road is long and winding but we walk this road side by side. Not a day goes by that I don't prey for Cindy and my father. Not a day goes by that I don't thank God for you. Sometimes we laugh... sometimes we cry... sometimes we sit together without a word and just know we are here for eachother... and sometimes we are apart but never far and never alone. Some say that the only constant in life are life, death and taxes. For me it is life, death, taxes and you. Always vent and always know that you not only have me, but so many other people who love you and will always listen.
The road is long and winding. You will never have to walk it alone as I am right by your side and if you tire, I will carry you.
Always,
Me.
Sher,
I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but there is an order to all of life's disorganization. This will work out, and one day it will all make sense. In the meantime, you just gotta keep moving and believing. In the end, it will be all right. Keep smiling, kiddo.
Love ya,
Charlie
