hi ann!
i just wanted to let you know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. we will be here until you go in for your surgery this tuesday and we will be waiting for you, right here, when you get home. then we'll keep you company while you recover, just as you have done with many of those here.
i'm so sorry you have to go through this, but i'm sure all will be fine. although this does not take away your fear and worry, maybe it will help put you more at ease, knowing we are all here for you.
you have given so much to us all here. i am such a strong believer in that God gives to those who give.
we all love you very much.
wishing you all the best, sylvia
