Thanks Mary Jo!
I'm blessed with a super family, husband, two sons, 3 grandkids, and two fur friends!
I'm blessed to have friends who encourage me to be me and forgive me when I'm goofy!
I'm blessed to have had terrific parents - I still get advice from mom when necessary - she can still get me back on track just remembering her wisdom!
I'm blessed to know all the people at CTRC in San Antonio! They bless the cootie out of me each time I just show up!!!!
I'm blessed to still be alive and happy and facing life on life's terms!
And I'm blessed that one very "needy night" I found this web site and met this incredible "batch of heroes"!
Love to all,
ma
