      From Caring1 November 18, 2007

      I will be thinking of you and praying for excellent results during your Monday surgery. God bless you, and try to keep your spirits up.

    • I’m With You

      From Caring1 November 16, 2007

      I do very much understand what you're going through concerning your daughter. Karen and I went through much the same thing when our daughter was 18. It's really tough when we know that ultimately, our daughter is going to get hurt in the end and there doesn't seem to be a thing we can do about it. Hugs and prayers for all of you.
