Application sent...
Well, after a lot of hours, tons of edits (thank you Nanette, Laurie, Grant and Karissa!), the application was sent last night at 6:07 from the FedEx office by my house. I was going to wait and have Grant send it from his office, but I needed to do it. I needed to hand the application to the lady at FedEx, say a little prayer, and see it go. She probably thought I was a nut job, but I get that a lot these days and, quite frankly, don't really care anymore. On the way to FedEx, as throughout writing this application, I started to cry. I guess I am scared that now, my once semi-private battle with cancer, is now going to be judged and graded. Maybe my fight will not be strong enough and I won't get in and, therefore, I will let Bob down. Don't get me wrong, I know Bob is just happy that I applied. It is just the feeling of it. I also think about actually being chosen and the fact that I could become popular because of rectal cancer. Personally, I think I was pretty fabulous before my cancer, so being popular because of my cancer kind irks (sp) me a bit. Oh well, we will see. I hope that I do get it - for Bob and for me. Off to chemo, Ang

You are and always will be fabulous. I am most excited that your butt may now become famous (on more than the local level). Just as I had always suspected...the butt end does rule everything. :-) I shall from this moment forward refer to you as butt strong (vs head strong).
Joking now aside...I am so very touched by your journey and how much of a role model you are for all of us.
You are living every moment fully present. Whether with TinkerBell, blogging in the tub or telling your doc you need a break, you are experiencing everything...fully. What a gift you are. Truly.
The world is still a much better place with you in it.
Good for you Angella for getting that sent. You are an inspiration (and very funny).
Thinking of you.
