Marie, I know that your heart must be heavy. My mom-in-law has had a couple of grand mal seizures also and it is truly scary. Your plate is full and I know that your whole family is truly blessed to have you on their side. But girl, remember that you can't give out of an empty bucket. Make time to fill up your bucket too, sweet girl. I'll be having a tea party in your honor in my little mind tomorrow around mid morning. I'm deciding right now on all the different types of cookies and treats to be served to my special friend. Oh, yes, my imaginary limosine will pick you up early; so that you can cruise the glory of the God's great world before sitting down for tea with your Her2 friends. Join me mid morning and we'll toast a beautiful day and a brighter tomorrow. Much love to you and a peaceful evening. ma
