I was wondering where you were. Hearing about your Mom brings back so many memories. It's always tough to be so far away, but even harder when someone you love so much is sick. Glad to hear she's already better. I'm sure you'll find the strength to make the right decision for everyone. Life is what's happening now and none of us could know how our lives will be tomorrow. It's best to appreciate it as it is while we can. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-back-from-an-unexpected-hiatus#post-108767 Wed, 02 Dec 2009 06:45:53 +0000 RoseandJoan 108767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so sorry for your current situation Hanna. We are more than happy to be your little distraction. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-back-from-an-unexpected-hiatus#post-108708 Wed, 02 Dec 2009 00:22:18 +0000 Angie 108708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My dear, Hanna. We have missed you too. Your name comes up on the forum all the time. You’re our clever little sausage :0)</p> <p>I am so, so, sorry to hear about your Mum. I know what you’re going through. My Mum was unexpectedly diagnosed at 4th stage cancer and was gone in 12 weeks. I’m thrilled that your Mum is responding well to treatment and surgery. ALWAYS remember that where there is life there is hope. Feel free to send me a PM at any time. We are always stronger than what we think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-back-from-an-unexpected-hiatus#post-108699 Wed, 02 Dec 2009 00:09:24 +0000 bella 108699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hanna, I am so sorry to hear about your mum. I can completely relate to your situation as I also waver between going back to Turkey and staying here every day. I hope that your mum gets well soon. Best wishes for you and your family! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-back-from-an-unexpected-hiatus#post-108685 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 23:18:17 +0000 marianna 108685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hanna, I have missed your presence on the forum! I am so sorry to hear about your mom... I am currently away from my mom too and it's hard enough as it is... I couldn't imaging being away during such a trying time. I wish her a speedy and successful recovery and I wish you lots of strength. The forum and fashion are a healthy distraction. Welcome back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-back-from-an-unexpected-hiatus#post-108684 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 23:17:06 +0000 Ele 108684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hanna, welcome back! Everyone has missed you here! </p> <p>I'm so sorry for you and your family- this must be such a tough time for you, particularly as you can't be there with your Mum right now. I'm sure she knows that you'd like to though, and emotional support (which can be given over the phone) is just as important for her right now. Hang in there x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-back-from-an-unexpected-hiatus#post-108682 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 23:05:18 +0000 Michelle 108682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hanna, I'm sorry that you've had to go through such a trying time. Hopefully YLF can play a part in helping lift your spirits! A number of us have hit rough patches of late and the community support has been absolutely amazing. I'm sure you'll be on the receiving end of that too! </p> <p>Take care of yourself and keep us all posted on how both you and your mom are fairing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-back-from-an-unexpected-hiatus#post-108677 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 22:46:46 +0000 Maya 108677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Hanna, I was JUST thinking about you and wondering how you were (as you probably noticed). It's good to have a creative outlet when things turn bad and fashion is always a mood-lifter. I'm glad your mom is making a strong recovery (though I know it's painful for her, and for you not to be there). My grandpa just had surgery to remove part of his colon due to colon cancer, so I can sympathize, but we're all here with you and we have missed your posts! Big hugs. Now go forth and comment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-back-from-an-unexpected-hiatus#post-108660 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 22:00:59 +0000 Inge 108660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Hanna</p> <p>I had been wondering how you were. I'm so sorry for your Mum! Good thing indeed that they managed to catch it in the early stages, but radiotherapy is no laughing matter. Still, it's wonderful that the outlook is good!</p> <p>I really feel for you though, it is heart-breaking that you cannot be with her irl at the moment, but I'm absolutely convinced that your Mum still feels supported by you. (Big hug here, for both you and your Mum).</p> <p>And good for you Hanna, taking fashion action and trying to be positive. You know you're always welcome to share on this forum (not just about all things fashion).</p> <p>Hang in there, and comment away, you madwoman!-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-back-from-an-unexpected-hiatus#post-108655 Tue, 01 Dec 2009 21:53:03 +0000 hanna 108655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hi everyone!</p> <p>i'm sorry to have been away for so long. my mother was recently diagnosed with a form of cancer, and that sparked off a long internal struggle about whether i should up and leave to be home with her, dealing with the guilt monster when i decided it would be best for me to stay and at least see this visa out (a visa my employers spent a lot of money to help me get)... </p> <p>luckily, the cancer has turned out to be still in the mild stages, and was almost entirely removed through surgery, but she is still undergoing radiotherapy every day for the next month, and the thought of not being there is driving me wild.</p> <p>so as you can see, i haven't really been in a fashion sort of mood, and my poor blog has been left quite lonely. but i'm tired of living in a grey, drab-feeling world, and i decided the best way to pull myself out of the doldrums and a situation i cannot control is by working on the situation that i can, and that makes me happy! so here i am, rejoining the world of fashion once again :). i have missed you all so much, and i'm going to go start commenting like a madwoman on all the threads i missed...NOW! </p>
