I just got off the phone with K9 Karen, and will go update her thread in a minute, but I told her about this, and she said to tell you:
"Take the camera, silly! It's not even up for debate, you deserve, take it!"

Thank you so much for your support everyone, that really helps a lot!
And Karen, if you talk to Karen the next time, please tell her thank you from me for her advice!![]()
Yes, I totally agree with everyone, accept the camera with grace and gratitude and good spirits. Use it with joy and share that joy with your friend. This is such a blessing for both of you!

Well, I have to say... I have just declined my friend's offer. As it turned out, she'll have some payments to do she did not expect, and under these circumstances, I would simply feel bad to accept the camera. Besides, I'm expecting more complications, health-wise, in the future, and with things going downhill so quickly, I don't think I'm worth it. I'll use my old camera, as long as it's working, and after that... well, who knows. Photography might be ending for me very soon. Of course I'm sad, but I would feel terrible if I'd feel she'd only bought the camera for me 'cause she promised to do so, even though she has now other bills to pay. Life sucks, but then again, that's not new to me.
Edit: Okay, she just called, right after I emailed her ... She has ordered the cam (not the 550D, but even the 600D which is on sale at amazon right now!). Still don't know what to think. I'm grateful, and of course I'm excited, but I still feel so bad about it. Sorry, I guess I'm pretty confused right now...![]()

I, for one, think you are still worth it, so am glad the already ordered the camera, and look forward to seeing what lovely photos you will take with it!

Kirsten, I'm so glad to hear it's settled now - you deserve it. You'll be exited to learn how to use the new camera and shoot fantastic photos. We're all gonna enjoy them!
Sleep well!

Oh, Kirsten, you deserve this camera so very much, and your friend knows you do too, so that's why she is getting it for you even with all her new financial difficulties.
She loves you very much and is enriching her own life as well as yours by making this gift from her heart to you.
Use it with joy and gratitude, and make beautiful photographs with it.
God bless you and her both.
