Such good news Karla on your Ix. treatment! Marie, I'm so prayin' that it does the same for Ed.
Marie, don't you dare thing that you're not going to be strong enough for whatever comes at ya.
You are always strong enough, brave enough, and awfully wonderful too, to handle what comes. You have an army of "family" who love and support you and will be there for you.
Take some time to "fill your cup", Marie. time to take care of the one who has taken such good care!
Much love to ya, ma
