THE LETTER

I know that this is a sore subject, but I would appreciate your honest feedback before. To my Friends and Family: I asked Oscar to send this short note to my friends and family in the event of my death. I just want you all to know that I had the best bariatric surgeon in the world, so if I am no longer with you, it was my time. When I made the decision to have this surgery, I also faced the fact that I would rather die than live the rest of my life morbidly obese and in pain. I realize that these words may not offer you the comfort you seek, but please know that I am now at peace; I am with God and I am no longer suffering. All that I ask is that you give Oscar and Christina your unconditional love, always. I love you all so very much. Becky

Becky, I think you said what you needed to say. I think your friends/family will understand. However, I know that it will not be needed! You will be here posting your success and telling us about your new life!! I understand your thoughts of being prepared, because I have written the letters too. Hang in there and God Bless!

I was planning on writing letters to all of my loved ones too, but find that I'm running out of time. I've been too busy to get worried about surgery so far. It's Thursday. But, tonight we were on a long car ride, and I started talking to my husband and telling him things I wanted him to tell people. Then I started crying. Then he told me to stop. LOL. I know it's hard on him for me to cry, but I just don't want to leave without telling him and everyone I love them. Now, this is on the off chance that anything happens. I too, have a wonderful surgeon, but God takes us when he's ready!! Good luck on your upcoming surgery, but you'll do wonderful, I'm sure!! Yvonne
