Just a quick note!

This year has been so wonderful, life for me last Christmas was simply just exsisting. I've realized even more that during this time friends and family are the most important. They lift you up, they except you for who you are, and love you no matter what. I've been blessed to have a wonderful husband, parents and even more so the friendships I've made here. WLS has not only given me my life back it's done more. Had I not looked into this surgery I would have never found this site. If I had not come to this site I would not have ever met some of the most wonderful people in my life. My life is fuller because of each one of you! It's a blessing to know every day there is a place to come to on the internet that is like "home" to me. Each one of you has a special place in my heart, and my heart is full. I no longer feel lonely or sad So thank you all for being a dear friends of mine. Have a very blessed holiday, and remember each day is a new day with new beginnings. Amy 615/396/Healthy (-219lbs)

Merry Christmas Amy & Kenneth, I agree with Lynn; "As much as you appreciate us we appreciate you. You made your struggle and new lease on life public so that all of us gained. You are a true blessing." Let me know when Kenneth's surgery is. Martha
