I am back....online at home....

Hi Sweetie....Can't wait to meet you also...just counting down the days until next weekend. Hugs, Betsy

Welcome back Betsy, You have been through so much. I pray that all will go well now. You are a amazingly strong woman. Size 18???? WOW You are doing great! Hugs comming your way! Cathy

Hi Cathy! Thanks for your prayers...they are really needed right now...I need to get control of the anger but I know that is normal. Anyway, I am so excited about my new life. I am not so sure I am very strong but I have alot of wonderful support from family and freinds....I don't know what I would have done without them. Hugs Betsy

Hey Sweet Betsy, I am so glad to see you back in circulation. I know this has been so difficult for you but as I said before...you are strong and when you go through things like this it shows you just how strong you really are. Not to mention that God has brought you through so much. I never ceased to pray for you each and every day. God still answers our prayers. I wanted you to have a computer so bad...heck if I had the money I would have bought you one and had it sent to you. But all I could do was pray.....Seems that was enough. God provides for us in many different ways. I always see His hand in every situation. I can't wait to see you again Betsy. I probably won't recognize you with all your weight loss. I am still waiting and waiting. I will finish up with the 6 month dieting thing the end of April. So I am hanging in and hoping the time will continue to go by quickly. E mail me your phone number when you get a phone. I can't wait to talk to you and hear all about your surgery experience. I am serious when I say this....You were in my thoughts and prayers so much the last few weeks. It's been terrible not being in touch and not knowing how you've been. I could only rely on the post to know anything at all about you. So I prayed even harder that you would receive comfort and support and that God would make a way where there was no way. You hang in and keep the faith Betsy. I would love to pay you another visit one day soon. I love you and wish you happy thoughts. Lots of Love Kathy

Hi Sweetie...So glad to see you again. I have been thinking about you too....I know that this 6 month thing has been tough on you but don't you give up...this has been amazing. You will get there and I know it. Your life will change too and for the better. Yes, it has been the most difficult time of my life but with my "angels" and all the prayers going up in my name, God is so good. I am busy getting settled in my new little house and it feels so good. I am no longer under "his" control. He controlled everything and is still trying but I told him in court the other day that he has no control over me anymore. He may have gotten everything out of the marriage but I have so much more than he has...I have friends like yourself and my family. I kind of feel sorry for him. He will never find peace of mind. With my being his 5th wife, I hope he knows that marriage is not for him. I know I will look hard and deep before I ever get married again. I am not giving up on love but I know that the next time, it will be forever. I never want to have to go through anything like this again. He even got rid of my kittens! I am going to spend some time on "me" and get to know who I am. After 55 years, you would think I already know but I don't. I want to enjoy my life again. Laugh, cry, dance, and enjoy my new freindships. I hope you don't think you need an invite here...my door is open to you anytime. Thank you so much for your prayers and thoughts....I have many angels out there and you are one of them. Keep up with your diet and know that you will be there soon..I have lost 40 pounds since 12-16 and I am thrilled. This is worth all the waiting. I promise. Talk to you soon I hope. Hugs, Betsy

Welcome back Betsy!! What a WONDERFUL way to spend your day - and what a fantastic friend Judy is. We already knew she was a sweet lady but this is yet another reminder of just how sweet. lol, I don't remember ANY of my friends ever coming over and cooking dinner for me. Yes, that's a big ol' hint to the VaBeach Girly-friends! [ sniffle sniffle ] Congratulations on the awesome weight loss, your new home, your independence and your regained life/health! Hugs - Lei

Hi Lei...If I lived closer, I would cook you dinner...you may not like it but I would....however, Judy is an excellent cook. Having her and Phil here was so nice....not quite as lonely. Anyway, I am going to stay in today and try to work on this computer some. I do have to sneak out in awhile to get some ole cigarettes.....hope the car makes it.....looking forward to hearing from you again....Lots of hugs and love coming your way. Hugs, Betsy

Hey Lei Come on over here sweetie and i will cook for ya!!! Thank you for the nice compliment, and ditto to you!! hugs JudyB

Yah! Betsy Good to see you online. If there is anything I can ever do for you, my hubby and I love to take a drive and I have family in that general area! Please don't hesitate! Debbie

Goodmorning, Debbie....What a sweet post. I am doing really well, considering what I have been through since surgery and not because of the surgery. Amazing how when you need strength, it comes to you. My strength came from my amazing angels on this board...I could name them all but I would be here forever. It is a wonderful family and your offer has really touched my heart. Thank you so much. Hugs, Betsy
