Hi Nic; It's good to hear from you, but I really wish that your news wasn't so bad. I'm sorry to hear about your Mom. We've had several bouts of cancer in my family and the very word cancer sends chills up my spine. You and your Mom are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm glad to hear that your life is good otherwise and hope that the hernia repair is trouble-free. Take care and stay in touch. Mike

Hey, Nic, I'm so happy to hear from you! And so sad for you with the news of your mom; come here often to share how you're feeling and doing in dealing with this - and I will think very good and positive thoughts for your mom. How come you're picture doesn't come up with your post (nor do they come up at your profile page). Take care, sweetie. M.

Thanks for the prayers for my mom! not sure why the photo doesn't come up...hmmm...I will try it again! nic
