I'm isolating myself...
Wow! What a group of faith-promoting posts! I am having surgery right after Kristy (cute picture, Kristy!) and have been having the same feelings. Even to the point of buying an extra plane ticket to bring my 5 year old with me! (Just in case, so I can have the last little time with her. Silly, I know.) Thank you to everyone for your words of encouragement. I know I will be feeling so much better in a few months. And your stories all give me courage.
