Tara

I would just like to express my deepest thanks to all of you! Kelly, Bridget, Christina, Kim, DaleM, Dara, & everyone else. (Sorry if I missed naming someone.) This forum has been a godsend to me. You all have helped me learn, laugh, and kept me from going insane during this process. It has been very comforting knowing that there are other people that are or have experienced what I have been going through most of my life. Even though I haven't met most of you, I have learned a lot about you all. Thank you for guiding me through. I'm sure I will need a lot more of your guidance in the future but just know that you all mean the world to me! Talk at you when I'm on the other side!

What Sawyer would call me on LOST: ladybug

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment." Kate White

That is the thread that keeps us all together. Mutual admiration club! That's why I'm here! I'm glad that you're here with us. We'll see each other through this together!

Let us know how you're doing as soon as you can. You're in my thoughts and prayers for a safe and speedy recovery.

I'd love to go see her, but I could only go during the day when my boys are at school. Also, I would need a ride due to not driving yet, is Serra Mesa too far for you? Thanks for offering
