IM BACK

hi everyone,did anyone miss me???lol.....I just got back from Hilton Head Island with my family. We had a blast. I was on the beach in a bathing suit for the first time in 34 years. I was in the sand with my grandkids,sitting and building a sand turtle. Everyone does castles lol. I played minature golf and I got in a water ride. I am a new me,. So fun,anyway how is everyone? I am thinking about you Val and your precious son. Also I am very concerned about Sandy. I just got her message this morning.Please let me know anything anyone knows Please. It is so good to be back with my true friends, and Vicki you look great. Talk to you all today,Love Cindy

HEY!! Welcome back! What a wonderful thing to be able to do all that stuff! I am so glad you had a great time...ok, a little jealous too, but you deserve it. Sand turtles, I like that! Thank you for thinking of him. He has his moments. My worry is that I will get that call you know. But, I have to just turn it over to God, let him guide me with it and pray for Mike on a daily basis. Mental illness is a tough one sometimes. It is still treated like that deep dark nasty secret unfortunately. I will tell you tho, that yesterday was golden. I spent a great part of the later afternoon and early evening with all three of my kids. We went out for dinner, laughed and had a great time. So, I am thankful for those moments. Yes, Sandy is in my prayers too. Sadly, she has fallen in that percentage that for what ever reason it caused complications. I my heart hearts for people that go through tha****ching what she and PJ are going through keeps it grounded for me too. Keeps me aware that this is a very real and very difficult thing that we all do. I hope they find a way back to a healthy happy life. Wow, that was a ramble huh? At any rate, welcome back! We sure did miss ya, but glad you had a great time! Hugs, Val

Thanks Val. your son will sure be in my thoughts and prayers. It takes very special people to care for him and you are certainly the one to do that because you are so very special. You have no idea. How is P.J. Is she home? I havent heard a word in a long time. Thanks Val. Cindy

Hi Cindy, Welcome back. I loved hearing about your beach adventures. I went on vacation to Florida last Oct. (to celebrate turning 50) and I just kept envisioning coming back post-op. So, it's good to hear how much better it was for you this time. I'm still praying for Sandy too. I dropped a card in the mail to her, I just wish I was closer so I could visit too. Thanks for sharing about how life is getting better for you, it sure helps me get my brain in the right place. Denise
