Well marejo, I don't know how I missed this post! But I certainly needed some encouragement! Great idea...

As someone recently mentioned on another thread, I hope tears don't short out my laptop!

I was blessed to have loving parents who, although they are no longer with me here, still live in my heart and give me strength everyday. Add to that my fabulous sister who loves me much more than I deserve and has blessed me with my 10 yo niece who just a few weeks ago donated her beautiful long blond hair to locks of love, As I'm probably in for an "extreme haircut" in the near future, I really wish I could have hers!

And don't forget my beloved hubby who has always loved me and who tickles me and finds countless other ways to make me laugh when I cannot see daylight. One night in bed I had itchy feet and he told me he had read that soaking your feet in milk helped that, asked me if he could get me some, then went down in the kitchen and came back up with a big bowl and put my feet in it. The next morning, he admitted it wasn't really milk, it had only been a placebo!

My bosses and coworkers have been totally supportive of me and helped in ways too numerous to mention. Friends, instead of fleeing, have wrapped their love around me.

I have a nice house in a beautiful area which in the morning smells like redwoods and I walk along the ocean on my lunch hour.

And God walks with me every day - in front of me to lead me, beside me to be my friend, behind me to encourage me, and above me to love and protect me.
