Welcome and thank you for stopping by. First things first. Prayers are working their miracles. Lindy has spoken to her two sons and they are going to take her for her appt at the U of MD .... Hopefully, things go well and she will be put on the waiting list for a Liver for her Transplant. She is going through a lot emotionally and I am asking everyone I know to keep her in their prayers. She is very scared and we have done an awful lot of talking and my listening and being the shoulder for her. We are going to get together in a few days. She had come down for my Birthday and I had some pics taken of us and they came out really cute, so I had one framed and I've written a poem for her and I am going to give it to her when she comes down. I am also going to lend her the cross I just rec'd .... It's from Rome and I want her to wear it. I think it would make her happy. It was blessed by the Pope. I have a Bear for her and the card I made says "I Love You Beary Beary Much" I'm just trying to be here for her. She is an awesome person and I know, in my heart, she is going to make it. God knows I need her in my life.

Thank you for your prayers .... I know they are working.

Here are a few things I wanted to share with you.

In my life, I have had many trials land tribulations as losing my Mom ... she was only sick two and a half months (Pancreatic Cancer) She was only 51 years old, Losing my First Husband, Paul, at the age of 39, He was never sick a day in his life, these are just a few to share and then my situation where I was just only to suppose to have a test and it would be an "In and Out" procedure, I ended up having a Brain Stem Stroke and my life changed forever... the life I once knew and loved was now changed. This song came out and I could relate so much with it. I love the Artist and have followed her music, Anyway, the words stayed with me, as I was answering posts it came on and I thought you know what, I would like to share this with others. We are getting a lot of newcomers and some have stated how rough it is in the beginning and they don't know if they will ever see the "light" again, I am here to say YES you will. Just hang in there and just take your journey one step at a time. My world was very dark BUT I am here to share with you it does get better. So, I hope these words help you as they have for me. Have a wonderful weekend. Love n Hugs, Jan
