((Don and Lucie))

Joanie, I'm so sorry that you are feeling so bad, I remember hearing once that for every hour of surgery that you have you should add a month for recovery..For instance if you were in surgery 2 hours then it takes 2 months before you start to feel "normal." keeping you in my thoughts and hoping you start to regain your energy..

Don, Lucie is in my prayers and thoughts daily as are you and your family.

Andrea, I wish they wouldnt throw all this stuff at you if they dont know..It sounds like there is so much to absorb for not knowing if any of it is certain..I'm keeping positive thoughts for your dad and hoping for good news.

I love how you chose to make the big announcement..Congratulations

Dear Don, Still praying hard for your dear Lucie..You know what a fighter she is, keeping you both in my thoughts today..

What a sweet story and beautiful tribute to a very special sister..

Prayers for Lucie and you too Don

prayers being said right now

Welcome Melissa, Your moms story will truly be an inspirationt for so many here, thank you for sharing her journey and giving hope to others.

Carrie, Like Connie, I wish you great success with your website. It looks good and very user friendly.

For me its really hard to read many post, many times I have wanted to desperately reply to someone in need and the words just wont come together however there is always someone who reaches out and I am so grateful to those. I dont post much any more but I am still here once or twice a day reading the forums that I moderate. Many times when I see a subject title that I think is not good news I take a couple deep breathes before clicking and proceed, its hard but I feel I owe them the respect to read. Then there are the post that make me smile, especially the survivors that have beat the odds and are here to talk about it. Many times I just tell myself I have to do what I have to do.. Good post, thanks for asking...

Praying all is clear for your dad Andrea, sending a couple for you too.

I am so sorry for the loss of your dear sweet mom..

Ginny, Your post was beautifully written, hope friday passes gently for and your family..

I am so sorry. I know how hard it is to get through this, I am keeping you and your family in my prayers..

Love the new pictures Andrea

Sending prayers and good thoughts Joanie's way..

You are absolutely not a pain Andrea, we all need constant reminders

I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear dad, he sounds a lot like my dad..

Congratulations Nina, Your post will be an inspiration to sooo many

Thanks Connie. If I know Katie she is probably beside herself with worry.. I'm here to help

Peggy, Praying for you and hoping these days pass gently.. I hate August as well

Dear Gail, I am so so sorry, sending you prayers for strength to get through this devasting time and for peace for you and your family.
