I think of you all often, and my prayers are always with you. :)<br />Cathy, Good Luck to your son!

Not hiding from anything. You are doing an amazing thing for yourself, those who come after you, and those who love you (including me!)<br /><br />Look at the way your words are touching people you don't even know: it's a great gift.<br /><br />Sorry about your Bears; but WOOT! on the cute guy from the gym. I am sure you look smokin' while you are working out.<br /><br />Love you, sweetie.

We can use our challenges to warm the body and soul of the next generation that puts on our shoes.<br />Earlier this fall I "coached" a young lady from Tennessee through her open heart surgery. At this moment, that same young lady is sitting in a surgical waiting room comforting another family whose daughter is going through the same surgery. Sometimes you never know how much your simple words mean or how far your example can spread to bring comfort to others.<br />Like I have said before, the Doctors can use their needles and knives to cure the body but we need to look to each other to heal the spirit.<br />btw...the towel guy at the gym is an incredibly lucky young man!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5634871388146701318.post-78921737979713331632009-11-13T06:57:53.247-06:002009-11-13T06:57:53.247-06:00I am a mom of a 21 yr student with ALL.
