Thank you for sharing this personal information to help us see everyone as "real" people that hurt and have issues we don't know about. Dealing with cancer, teaches what is really important. My husband's cancer is teaching many hard lessons. That said, I, too, miss the "original team."

I would guess none of us would say unkind things about someone going through colon cancer and a colostomy. I know when my niece had such a procedure done she was told she wouldn't have children.
It is so much easier saying things about someone who just seems to be a personality, but this personality is a real person with real grown up problems. I applaud her desire to see the good in life, and to try to achieve it. By the way, the way the change was stated Liz Porter didn't retire, she took over the magazine. Both Mary Ann and Liz are still working they just decided to have one do the magazine, and one do the television show.
