[LAURIE]

Wow, you ladies have made my day!!!! I feel more inspired now than ever, ever, ever, since this "challenge" came my way. I am going to live and am excited to take on whatever challenge may face me in the future!!!! I have been contiplating adoption recently and passed it off because of my "challenge" and thought I was being selfish. Thinking that is was fair to my husband and my future child if I was not going to be around. But I am going to be around and even if it's cut shorter than most, my family and friends would of known the best wife, daughter, friend, neighbor and mother ever. Wow, that sounds like I am full of myself, but this site has really boosted my confidence today. Thank you all!! At least for today I am "queen of the world" (well at least in my neighborhood)
