I am so grateful...

Queen Mum just called: she's feeling better. Seems as tho it may have been one of her BAD headaches. They're debilitating, and to see her when she's having one makes YOU cringe just looking at her. How can I ever thank all my Marchers for running to pray whenever there's been a need? How can I thank you for sending your positive thoughts and wishes my way? How can you thank someone for having a heart as big as the universe like you all do? I've been getting last minute stuff done all day and it's been a good time to think back on my entire journey so far: how I started, WHY I started, getting comfortable with the thought, the tests, the test results, the approvals, the speed bumps and hiccups, the setbacks and jet-propulsion 'forwards', meeting and greeting all the new Marchers as they came in one-by-one, the chats, the jokes, the giggles and belly laughs, the times when someone needed help and everyone RAN to them, the times I needed prayer and could FEEL it surround me, the emails, the Offishal Titles, and above ALL else, the love, concern and comraderie of my Marchers. It's been a WONDERFUL trip so far - how can I thank every one of you who's shared a mile or so of it with me? And to think...in just less than 18 hours from now, another trip will once again be just beginning for me!! How blessed am I to have those who've gone before me tell me what to expect! How blessed am I to feel like every time another one pulls thru, I feel like it's MY victory! I've already had so many 'wins'...and there's so many more to come!! How excited I'll be when it's April and we're all LOSERS together!!! You have all become so endeared to me. I know beyond a doubt I've made some of the most revered life-long friendships that one can have. I've been a part of a little area of this planet where there is hope and love and care, and this is a place that not many know of. It's our 'home', and ya know what they say..."Home is where the heart is". How true! I'll try to check in again before I leave for the hospital tomorrow. I have a funny feeling it's going to be a sleepless night for me...too excited! But I just want to tell you all that I am so grateful FOR you all. See ya on the other side!

If that was your idea of a "just in case" note, I ain't having none of it! You're going to be fine! We love you! Joy

Aw, Joyful C!! T'wasn't a "just in case" note...it was a "just BECAUSE" note!! I KNOW I'm gonna be fine! I've never doubted it from the start! Just got me on one of my reflective moments - heck, I seldom have enough time TO reflect anymore!! Somehow washing the bathroom floor transcends me into thoughts otherwheres...

Oh Kimmer: You are Blessed with your writing. We are all Blessed in knowing you and being a part of this Message Board.

We know you are in his Hands and that he has his Arms placed around you. What Beautiful dreams he has given all of us for our new future in Newpouch. March on sister March on

Kimmer, You are truely one in a million and we're glad we have you on our side.... I mean Heck! How many can say they have a better support system??? We are all only a single car in this train that we call the Marchers, each unique and special. We come from varied backgrounds with so many different tastes and thoughts. Granted we aren't without our strife but in the end we are ONE, We Are The Marchers! Thinking good thoughts and wishing you all you need and want from not only this surgery but life .... (everybody, not just you but hey! ya know how it is!) God speed and hurry back! Gayle Queen of Yarn Balls
