In the spirit of the tree house post, I thought I’d share this inspiring Silver Lining from Candy Polgar. I couldn’t agree more that trees lovingly envelope us. Especially when we are alone.
Hollye’s book, The Silver Lining: A Supportive and Insightful Guide to Breast Cancer, was published by Simon & Schuster on March 2014. The book is co-authored by her dear friend, photographer Elizabeth Messina. It became a New York Times, Washington Post and LA Times bestseller.

I'm lying sleepless this summer night before my firs chemo. Could not have asked for a better way to prepare. My 4 year old next to me, my husband snooring and my babygirl in her crib and a bucket of ice cream while reading. Yep -from skinny to chubby all between the diagnosis and the chemo. 😉 Thanks to icecream and dark chocolate and take away-lunch due to all the appoinments. Just wants to say – Thanks for writing it the way it is. Because in the midst of it – you smile everyday somehow. Especially with a 4-year old which proclaimed tonight : i Will love you with hair and with crazy no hair. Because mum- it is weird that you Will have no hair like dad and the baby! It still dos not make me want to go to chemo tomorrow but with the "crazy-no hair comment" I Will manage a bit better.
Thank you so much for your note, Melida. Sending all of my very best wishes to you. Please let me know if I can be of assistance in any way! Take good care, Hollye
may you live long and get well soon
Thank you so much!
