Maryann, I've missed you! I wish your absence had been for some world travel adventure or the creation of your "Good Fairy" dream! I wish you had stories of adventures with you kids that would lull me to sleep at night with their charm!
I hate that you have been in such pain and having to deal with all that "stuff"!
I'm sending you some south texas sunshine, some boring minutes of painfree rest, and tons of love, girl.
Please don't stay away and keep us up on your progress. The family misses you when you're gone!
Luv ma
