Bobby,

you are so right! Thankful is what we are! You are an inspiration

to us all and I am so glad your transfusions have given you a boost.

I wish I could have one,too, but don't need one apparently! I guess

I should be thankful for that, too. I am going to my sister's house

for dinner and get to see my new little nephew (my nephew's baby boy)

who is just 1 month old, Asher Moyer! He is absolutely

adorable and this is my first visit with him. I am thankful that

life goes on, in spite of CML and everything else!

Hugs to all, and especially Bobby and Lottie, my heroes!
