Thank you all!

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Betty Crosa. Suzie and I have been great friends since high school so I have been very much involved with Suzie's situation since I found out about it.

First, thank you, Mia for setting up this blog. This is amazing! In addition, thank you everyone for being there for Suzie. In the past few weeks, I have been struggling with balancing the demands of my family, work and visits to Suzie. I've been so worried that Suzie is lonely and feeling guilty that I'm not spending all my free time with her. At the same time, I've also been feeling guilty that I was spending too much time with Suzie and not enough time with my husband and son. I can see now that Suzie has many great friends behind her. It gives me great comfort to see that so many people are visiting her. The blog really helps me be more informative of her situation. It's been very frustrating getting to the hospital after work and on weekends to find that the right people are not available to shed light on Suzie's state of recovery.

Since I have come down with a bad cold recently, I have not visited Suzie since Sunday. (Now that she is in the rehab, I'm afraid to get her sick, creating a setback.) So I'm in awe of the progress I'm hearing from the blog. I can't wait to see her, hear her talk and say "Fuck!" with her.

Thank you again. I cried tears of joy while reading this blog in the office today. You guys really made my day!
