Sorry I have been gone for so long, everyone. Things have been hectic around here lately. The kids are doing good. Randie (daughter) still walks around looking for mama, but not as often. She does see the pictures I have up of her, and looks for her every so often... Scott (son) is coping...

Hey everyone... I'm still around. I read and re-read a lot of the posts in this and other forums, but, with my limited knowledge of the heart, I kind of take a backseat and let the professionals (all of you) handle it. Just wanted to let you know that the children and I are doing... better...

Thank all of you so much. I am still having it extremely hard, and miss her very much... more and more everyday. Your kind words and support have helped in a way that is beyond belief.
