Hi, Friends. I just wanted to take a moment to apologize for comments that were left unanswered in earlier chapters. During the time leading up to my daughter’s fight with cancer, we knew something was wrong, and it was a trying time because we were also worried about her unborn child.
Even with the personal turmoil, I feel an apology is necessary because when I came back after my hiatus, I did not go back and respond to those comments. To be honest, it felt weird and I did not know how to approach it. Since I started this story 5 1/2 years ago, I’ve strived to make sure no comment was left unanswered. It was never my intention to let any slip through the cracks.
What I want you to know is that your comments whether they were about my story, or just a kind encouragement, meant a lot to me at the time and still do.
Please accept my sincerest apology. I am sorry.
Have a beautiful day, my friends.
As always, thank you for your support,

Don’t worry about it. And you also don’t need to reply to my every comment as well! After all those months it might be weird to respond to those and you probably got so many so I can understand that. And I understand while you feel a bit guilty because I always responded to every comment I got as well. But no one is going to be mad at you, and if they are, then they’d be completely insensitive with what’s been going on in your life.
Too late. LOL I already replied to your comments. I can see now how that would be weird. I guess it’s easier to respond when you’re not absent while they are coming in.
Anyway, I appreciate your encouraging words. They mean a lot to me.
Ha ha, I appreciate you responding, but really, I just wanted to quickly share some thoughts, not necessarily leave more thought-out comments so I could speed through (plus, it did feel weird knowing ahead what’s gonna happen because I had to re-read parts).
Yeah I can understand feeling that way. 😀
Thank you for sharing!!… no apology is necessary because I do not comment or visit expecting you to do the same… I hope all the best for you, your daughter and family and your daughter’s story has a happy ending!!… 🙂
Until we meet again..
May flowers always line your path
and sunshine light your way,
May songbirds serenade your
every step along the way,
May a rainbow run beside you
in a sky that’s always blue,
And may happiness fill your heart
each day your whole life through.
(Irish Saying)
Thank you so much, Dutchll. I appreciate your kind, encouraging words. My daughter is doing well after having had chemo and radiation. We have good reason to hope for the best. The baby is doing really well, too.
There’s really no need for apologies of any kind, dear. 😊 Of course you wanted to take care of your family. I’m sure everyone here thinks the most important thing is that we get to enjoy your story once again. 🥰 Happy to see in the comments that your daughter and grandbaby are doing better. 💕
Thank you, Louise. I just adore you, and am so grateful for your friendship and encouraging words. 💕
I am late to comment (and I wasn’t technically here yet for those earlier chapters), but I want to agree with the others that there is no need to apologize. I have been by the side of many loved ones (including both my parents) through the battle with cancer and it is all-consuming. I can’t even imagine how that would be with your own child! I hope she and her child are doing well.
Thank you so much, Nya. I really appreciate your kind words. I’m sorry you had to go through this not once, but twice. That just breaks my heart.
Katy is doing good with her chemo and radiation finished. Thank you again.
Oh! And I meant to also say her baby Lyra is doing well, too. 🙂
I’m happy to hear that! Such a beautiful name too. 💖
Awww thanks 🙂 💖
Hey Mrs. Kymber, Hope your daughter is doing fine right now.
It’s so shocking that children’s have to face things like that at this young age.
Take care.
One more thing, I’m unable to see your posts in WordPress reader & unable to follow it. I think it’s a glitch…
Thank you so much for your kind comment. My daughter is so much better now. I agree that it is shocking someone so young and vital should suffer that way.
You take care, too.
I’m very sorry you have been unable to see my posts in the Reader. I hope this glitch clears up soon.
Thank you again. xo
Sorry to hear this… this is definitely a tremendous situation to deal with…
Thank you so much. My daughter is doing much better now. She was diagnosed last year and her chemo is finished. She just finished her radiation treatments a few weeks ago and is feeling pretty good. We wait now to see what is next. The baby was born in November and is small, but thriving. 🙂
I hope all goes well…
Thank you
Kymber, I’m so sorry your family is going through the dreaded “c”. Sending prayers for your daughter and her baby to kick this thing and enjoy the happy, long life they deserve. {{hugs}}
Thank you so much, Jacquie. 🙂 Our daughter Katy has now finished with chemo and radiation, so we’re waiting to find out what is next. The baby was born in November and is small for her age but thriving.
Oh, that’s wonderful ❤️
❤️❤️
Goodness. No apologies needed. Your mind was elsewhere as it should be. I read in the comments that your daughter has completed her treatments and is doing well. Bless her and bless you for being there for her. Sending light and love for her continued success on the road back to good health.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your good thoughts, kindness and encouragement. 🙂
<3
There is no apology required, Kymber. I so hope your daughter is well.
Thank you, Jacqui. Chemo is finished and so is radiation. We’re just waiting to see what is next. But so far, she’s had great results and she is feeling good. 🙂
I don’t think anyone – even those whose comments went unanswered – felt the need for an apology. We all have real lives, with our fair share of problems and sickness. To be honest, real life is what matters the most, so take the time you need for yourself and your family, answer what you have the time to answer and write when you feel you can. I’m always happy to discover a new chapter!
Thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement. I really appreciate what you said. xoxoo
Absolutely no need to apologize. We all have times when social interaction takes a secondary role in our life due to such circumstances. Family well-being comes first.
Thank you so much, Violincat. What you say makes sense and I really appreciate your words of kindness. xxoo

Thank you so much for your words of kindness and encouragement, Louis Phillips. I appreciate what you said.
My daughter just finished with chemo and radiation and is doing well. We are waiting to find out what is next. Her baby is thriving and in good health, too.
Thank you again. 🙂
Loving that darling kitty pic! 🙂
Thank you so much. 🙂 Cesare is my Chief of Cheesy Writing. LOL
That’s what cats are best known for, isn’t it? 😉
Oh yes, for sure 😀
Aww, Kymber. I have to agree with Audrey – totally unnecessary, but I also totally get why you wanted to apologise. I feel the same because I don’t always get to comments, and the longer I leave it the more awkward it feels. I always want to because it’s so kind for people to comment at all, but it’s not always physically possible to reply to them all on top of everything else. And you had so, so much on your plate and nobody will feel slighted for not getting a response to their comment at all. If they did then they’re idiots. Please – please – don’t worry about it, Kymber. You do an amazing job as it is with your posts and getting to as many comments as you do, I think it’s incredible.
How’s the family doing and your daughter? And how’re YOU? I think you should pat yourself on the back (not sure why that’s a saying because it’s damn difficult to it when our arms don’t bend that way) for everything you achieve here and for the support you give to other bloggers, too. I think you’re bloody awesome 💜🤗
Sending love,
Caz xxxx
Thank you so much, Caz. You really get it about the awkwardness. Your encouragement means so much. xo
The family is doing pretty good. My daughter is doing great and has finished her radiation. We now wait to see what is next. 🙂
By the way, I think you’re bloody awesome, too. 😀 xo
There’s no rule, not even an etiquette expectation, that every comment receive a reply! Taking care of your energy and emotional output and prioritizing where your precious energy goes is always best! We get so much from reading your stories and sharing our responses with you. That’s plenty! Wishing you and your family well!
Thank you so much, Cathy. I appreciate what you’re saying so much. Thank you again. xo
You are always so sweet. Take heart, no one is worried I’m sure. But I’m glad posting this has made your heart feel a little lighter and one more worry has risen from your back. Any reader who does not understand that family comes first, can answer to all of us and we won’t be sweet about it, I can promise you that!
LOL Thank you, Bee. ❤️ I love you to pieces. You always have my back.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That was sweet for you to acknowledge that you may have missed commenting, but honestly, I feel it was totally unnecessary. Anyone that follows your blog knew what was going on and they know what a sweet and caring person you are. You’re allowed to participate in real life when it throws you curve balls. 🤗❤️
Thank you so much, Audrey. ❤️ Your answer brought tears to my eyes and made me feel so much better. ❤️❤️❤️
