Hello everyone!

Hi friends-

I have become more of a lurker than a poster these days, mostly due to the fact that it is just me and the children now so I have precious little time on the computer. I have been doing so well that all my sisters went home.

I wanted to send out a big virtual hug to all of you and tell you that I wish I could touch each of you the way you have me over the past several months. I pray daily for each of you. I cry when I read posts of struggles and I am filled with joy when I read your good news. I am glad I found you and am so very grateful to have you all in my life!

My double mastectomy (simple on the left and mod rad on the right) was 1 month ago today. I am doing great. My kids are doing great. I am so blessed!

Maureen
