"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."

Thank You
Thanks, everyone. I haven't been able to get online today (too busy at work). Your comments mean a lot to me.
When I compare the two photos, I'm amazed. I really had no idea I carried so much weight in my face and neck. To those of you who are pre-op and cringe at your photos, I'm living proof that there's hope for skinnier faces (and bodies)!

I don't know how I missed this thread, but, I'm glad I found it this morning!
Dara, sweetie, you've always been beautiful, ever since the first time I saw you, you're just more so now, because the real you is showing from behind the mask that was hiding you.... (same one we have had or have) 
You've done SUCH a magnificent job, I'm SO proud of you!!
You make me have a lump in my throat when I see you, you look absolutely marvelous! 
Love you girlfriend! |
