Too bad to hear about Boston also, but I completely understand if that's the choice you end up making. sorry to hear about the slammer again.

I don't tend to comment on your blog a lot- other people usually say what I want to a lot more eloquently than I could, but felt I had to comment this time. Take care and hope things start to pick up for you very soon Becca xx Lots of hugs and thoughts coming your way.

I LOVE this part especially "my life is way too fascinating to keep all to myself". :D Right on! I mean, where else would I have found a video of a cat drinking out of a sink or learned about the art of towel rolling? I am pretty sure nowhere. Love ya, Steve! Amen to your post script :) .

You'll never know how much I appreciate it. Don't worry, I will definitely continue to blog. Maybe not as often , and maybe not focusing as much on my own asthma, but I will definitely keep everyone up to date on what's happening in my crazy world. I'm just really burnt out right now and I need to focus my attention on things that make me happy. Ive been blogging about my asthma and my declining health for 5 continuous years now. I don't want to be one of those people who chronicles their own death.( though I guess we're all doing that in some way). So NO worries.... I'm not going a way. Just reinventing myself a little.

And I agree with the others-you gotta do whats right for you and think about number one. But I hope you don't stop writing-your body needs a break from all the asthma crap, even the written stuff. You're very loved! Sus xx PS-I was rather excited to learn your DR W was in London this week-I'm wondering if she was meeting with the asthma bods at my hospital. Could bet my bottom dollar-going to ask them next time I talk to them! Sx Yeah, mate…lots of hugs coming from London.

I understand completely about your thoughts on the blogging thing, and agree with Danielle on that, too, especially in regard to her dad's advice. We'd miss you A LOT, but, you have to do what's right for you. Lots of love and hugs, Steve. (Hopefully we can Skype or something soon) <3 Hey Mr. Blue Eyes,

I'm really sorry. Second - I know you were hamming it up big time, but the pics are really gorgeous. Especially the one of you and Douglas. Kerri's right, your eyes are epically blue. If you stopped blogging about asthma, you would be terribly missed, but it would still be ok. You need to do what's right for you. The only piece of advice my dad ever gives me is "make decisions that are right for you, only then can they be right for the people around you". I hope you will do that, whatever you end up doing about blogging. Sending major love from Canada.
