Hello everyone!!

Hi guys!  Just had a minute and wanted to pop in and touch base with everyone.  I feel like I am so out of the loop these days!!  A lot has been going on in my life (as always!!).  Monday will be my 2 month surgiversary and as of this morning, I am down 56 lbs!!  Everyone keeps telling me how skinny I am getting.  Well, I'm not quite skinny yet and won't be for some time to come but the compliments make me feel great.  Now if I could only win the lottery so I could afford some new clothes!!  Oh well, one can dream, right???   On a more personal note, I am going to be moving to Virginia within the next 30-60 days I think.  That is where I was born and raised and it's time to go back home.  I am in the process of finalizing my divorce from Denny and it's time for me to move on.  A fresh start is exactly what the doctor has ordered!!  Denny has had his colon surgery and is doing well as of this posting.  We don't talk every day anymore but we are doing our best to remain on friendly terms.  So far, so good.  Please continue to keep him in your prayers as he still has a long road to recovery ahead of him.  During our previous separation, I had reconnected with a man whom I went to high school with and we had started to develop a relationship when Denny got sick and my life got thrown all out of balance.  Well, this wonderful, kind man stepped back and let me do what I thought I needed to do regarding my relationship with Denny.  I am happy to say that he has waited patiently for me to get my head straight and we are now back to pursuing our  relationship and at this time, I am happier than I've been in a long, long time.  So hopefully my drama filled days are soon to be behind me and I can start living a normal life again!!  Time will tell I guess.   I'm sorry I don't seem to have the time to get on these boards every day to keep track of everyone's success and accomplishments.  I think of you guys daily and miss you all.  Congratulations to everyone who has recently gotten approval and good luck to those still in the process.  Take care and I love you all!! Hugs, Donna

Donna,      That is such wonderful news. I am so happy that you have someone to share your wonderful self with. It's nice to hear what a great guy he is. I'm rooting for you. Good luck on your move, but still keep in touch. You're such a great lady and we love you very much.      Will keep you all in my prayers. xoxo Mare

Donna -

I couldn't have said it better than Mare ... Ditto her comments.

Please stay in touch. Wishing you all the best in your bright new future and of course, keep you and your family in thought and prayer.

Dear Donna, If anyone in this life deserves happiness and love in her life, it's you.  You are such a good woman.  I have to confess, though, that I wish you were not moving to Virginia, as I will miss you a lot here even though we have never met face to face.  Nonetheless, I am very happy for you and wish you ALL of you the very best in your new lives.  Please stay in touch with us. Love,

 Donna,            Congratulations on your weight loss! Sounds like ur doin great.  Also glad to hear that your personal life is goin well. Good luck on your new relationship with your new wonderful man and on your divorce. Yeah, I'm young but I've already been through one so I know how it is. You have my support and prayers. Good luck on your journey back home. :) Shelly
