Oh those words from the Mighty Oak are answers to some of my prayers. I hear the determination, the resolve, the clear Intent and passion of Expectation. THAT IS THE RECIPE FOR SUCCESS! You and Ed are absolutely calling your other half of your miracle to you! Armed w/love and its powers. Prepared w/purple popsicles (my favorite color too) and anti-nausea meds. Don't get caught without them. I stockpiled. I would happily send you my hundred yr old Zofran that I've collected! Back in the day they'd only give you 12 at a clip. And they were $90 ea a decade ago. Think they'll still potent? If so, I am mailing them to you, along with all my love, big hugs and a load of prayers -- for our Ed, for you Marie, and for Mom!!! I have a big box ready -- waiting for your YES!!! You know you are always in my thoughts. Every single day. I believe in prayer! It is the best gift I can think of to send you.

Co-enzyme Q 10 -- 150 mg X 2 a day, help keep the heart healthy. +Perfusia 350 mg X 2 a day. Check it out, Marie. It will protect that big lug's heart, which is essential, cause it is so full of goodness and kindness and love!
