I couldn't have asked for a better end to this day. I've been thinking and praying for you, hoping for some positive news. I'm so happy for you and your family. I'm not certain but, maybe all of our prayers are gettimg through.
I'm impressed and at the same time amazed at your upbeat attitude, we all can learn a thing or two from you. I nver had to question your strength or mettle, you Minnie are the most solid person I've ever had the pleasure of complimenting and you desrve it! You go girl!!
With all the prayer and positive thoughts I have, I am in your corner.
Oh...have a hug.
