Andrea has been one of my greatest heart teachers. I hope they know that I don’t see it as their body carrying my heart, and my heart breaking if their body were to leave. I feel it like their eternal soul has shared love with mine. That love will always be with me and will be shared as far as my soul can reach too. There will be grief, but mostly immeasurable beauty and love. My heart cannot break - it’s been made more whole.

When we were kids, Andrea visited our small yet mighty school to preform poetry. I think I can speak for every single person in that room when I say It completely changed our lives: we were blown away. Their kind/passionate/radiant heart permeates all that they do, altering everyone they meet. I've never met another human being like Andrea. Thank you beautiful soul for everything you do/have done - you make the world a better place. We all love you ♥

Andrea Andrew I didn't think I could love you any more than I already do. You had me bawling on my drive home. I've already cried and loved every poem mentioning your cancer so far. Lost my mama to melanoma 2010 rest in peace & in power, mama Patsy. Staying alive during my hardest bouts with suicidal ideation...the reason was always how could I put my loved ones through that? Even when I'm angry at them for not understanding. Even when I felt like they'd be better off without me. I know how much pain I feel when someone even just walks out of my life. Huge abandonment problems. And... I can't bare to do that to someone else. That's what always stops me. Thanks for bringing up that part of being the child considering the pain it'd cost your parental folks... and having to face that possibility..oof. my heart. You burst it wide open every time. Thank you for that. Thank you for this. Thank you for always being so authentically you.

I disagree that you ever have to experience the world as you did before your first treatment. Your experience showed you how expansive and free you already are...when you are not living through concepts (thoughts) but are actually fully present AS life. Someone who has helped me tremendously to live freely is Helen Hamilton here on KZitem. She doesn't tell you what things are, she just tells you how to look, what questions to ask....so the answers that come are honestly your own, and are freeing. ❤️ And thanks for being so open and honest.
