Dear adorable Flori!

I am over the moon excited for your well news!

First time on the board in it feels like a mnth. Got back from Calif. Got my Flori hugs! Got home and the next day found out my Bev Hills dghtr's hubby got THE job! The one at Univ of Miami -- Director of Stem Cell Research at their Med School. A JOY! TO BE SURE. AND AN OY! 2 days later, Pamela moved in with me, with her 2 boys (3 & 5). Got them enrolled in school. Trying to figure out a gezillion details. Hubby stayed back, packed up and shipped out. Cars coming today.

FLORI, MY SWEET FRIEND -- YOU ARE REMARKABLE, ALONG WITH YOUR #S. FINALLY. IF YOU LIVE LONG ENOUGH... YOU'LL SEE EVERYTHING. I LOVE THAT YOU ARE WHERE YOU ARE. LORD KNOWS YOU HAVE WORKED HARD IN EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE -- INCLUDING PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT FROM THE BEST OF SOURCES (THIS SITE, DEAR FRIENDS, COHORTS IN BATTLE, THOSE YOU LENT ARTISTIC SUPPORT TO W/YOUR FAB PROGRAM, WHICH ENRICHED YOUR LIFE AS IT HELPED OTHERS, ETC.). YES NOT TO MENTION THE DAIRY-FREE, GLUTEN FREE, OMEGA BALANCED, WILD CAUGHT, VITAMIN REGIMENT.

YOU MENTION WOBENZYME! I DID NOT KNOW YOU TOO HAD FOUND THIS WONDER SUPPLEMENT. 2 X 2 A DAY ALTERED MY LIFE IMMEASURABLY -- BATHROOM DRAMA 90% BETTER. FENNEL SEED, GAS X, ANTI D, FLEXEROL FURTHER ASSIST. OH, AND OF COURSE THE ESSENTIAL PROBIOTIC ASIDOPHILUS W/A QUADRILLION FRIENDLY BACTERIA TWICE A DAY.

A NOTE ABOUT YOUR LAST SENTENCE, MY MORNING GLORY.

I KNOW YOU KNOW. CANSER IS ALL ABOUT FEAR. DO NOT LET IT IN. IT WRECKS HAVOC. ENJOY YOUR WONDROUS STATUS. PERIOD. THINK OF IT AS A PERMANENT AND GRAND GIFT YOU HAVE WORKED HARD FOR AND DRAWN TO YOURSELF. HOLD ON TO IT. PLEASE, SWEETIE, DO NOT BE AFRAID...

YOU HAVE ARRIVED. YOU ARE BLESSED. ALL YOUR GOOD WORKS, YOUR LOVING SPIRIT, YOUR COMPASSION AND KINDNESS IN GIVING TO OTHERS IN MYRIAD WAYS IS MAGNETIZING AWESOME MANIFESTATIONS OF YOUR DREAM COME TRUE. FOCUS ON THAT. BE HUMBLY GRATEFUL AND JUST LIVE WITH THIS JOYFUL NEW REALITY. CLAIM IT. IT IS YOURS!

I LOVE YOU... FOREVER...
