Re: KIWIgirl has earned her wings - so sorry

Very sad to hear this news. She was far too young. My doctor said it 'is all about quality of life now', I hate that it went to my brain, really makes it harder to expect to 'inch along'. Anywqy, until it happens, I'm still here and i still love living and feel blessed to have had the life I've had, not everybody gets it so good. best wishes to everyone.
