Once upon a time, I was concerned about how long I would live. I worried I would never see another birthday. Now, I realize it isn't important what number I make it to. What is important is the way I've spent my moments living.
I want to thank everyone who "participated" in the celebration of my life yesterday. Everyone at the bash. All those that called, emailed or sent me a text message :). Anyone that said a prayer or wish for another day or healthy year for me. I am amazingly and abundantly blessed by each one of you. Sharing my life with you is a true gift...and the most important of them all.
Pamela and David ~ how do I ever begin to tell you how very much I appreciate and love you?!!!!!
Goodnight. I LOVE YOUZ (ha ha - that is an inside joke!!)
PS ~ I'll add pictures from the bash just as soon as everyone sends me or emails me the pics they took!!!!! HINT, HINT!
*** Please say prayers for My Aunt Gloria and our family, Nathan (he is doing chemo, again.), Ms Bobby (she started radiation), Mr. Russo, Ms Pammy (recovering from surgery.), Lenore, Trish and David Carey. They are fighting the battle with cancer too .
*** Please say prayers for Jay Carey and his family. He is in Iraq, fighting the war.

Happy Birthday!
You are a hero.I am far away from you,I am in China.
I am a doctor in China.En I am so sorry that my English is bad.I can not express myself exactly.
Happy Birthday!
I wish I could have been there! Can't wait to hear all about it! Wow! China huh? Always knew you inspired farther than this circle of friends and family. Love ya!
I will forever cry for missing your birthday.
Not sure how I will get over missing the most important day of each and every year.
This was the day I had been waiting on for since your last birthday.
I am crying now, still.
I'm glad it went well for you.
I love you.
I do hope to see you this week before you head home.
I am thoroughly offended and displeased by your use of that trashy word. If you ever say it again, I will most surely find a quicker way of ending your life than the cancer has. Your cancer is really quite inefficient--stupid disease to have, really.
Yea.
Well, good to see you, enjoy the south, if at all possible, and maybe I'll see YINS some other time.
AHHH I feel dirty now. I used a word they say in Pittsburg. I have to go shower with acid to wash off the dirtiness.
LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FC
About time you commented FC!!!!!!!!!! I love you more! Ha ha!
