      Hi Claire, Thanks for the hug, and for letting me know you're OK. I know, you must be so busy these days, that all you want to do is get some rest when you get home. May God Bless You, and watch over the both of you. As always, my Prayers are with you. Love, Vicki

      Hi Claire, Thanks again! You are such a good, and caring soul. I do have my first appointment on Friday, 5/25. I've been doing a lot of research and am looking forward to what the Dr. has to say. I have many questions for her, and am planning on gathering a lot of information before taking that big step. I noticed you haven't journaled in a few days. Is everything OK with you? I'm continuing to send prays your way. Let me know how you're doing when you get a chance. Love, Vicki

      Hi Claire, Thank You so much for your support. I just wanted to let you know that my Mom got good news today. The Dr. called and said the test shows she doesn't have an aneurysm. It's actually a hardening of the artery. She gave her some medication to reverse the hardening and told her she'll be fine. Praise God! Thanks Again Claire for being such a Loving, Caring Friend. God Bless! Love, Vicki

      I am 51 yrs old, recently widowed, with a 3 year old adopted son. He came to us @ 4 months old, from the foster-care system. He is the love of my life, beautiful, and a bundle of energy! He is one of 7 children, born to a common mother, and we have a solid relationship with his brothers and sisters. I tell him every day that he is my "angel from heaven".
