Guest guest Posted May 2, 2001 Report Share Posted May 2, 2001 : How absolutely wonderful to hear directly from you. Sometimes it takes hard times to help us see the good that surrounds us everyday. And today, through your post, it has helped me look around at my life and appreciate all that I have, in good fortune and love from family and friends. I hope you sail through the rest of your recovery time. To your family, friends, Gobo, your nurses and many in this group... Angels do hover ever near, and some of those angels are very human and walk the earth.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2001 Report Share Posted May 5, 2001 Hi , What a THRILL it was to read the message directly from you!! I'm so very pleased to hear that you are doing better and better each day, and that your family is being so wonderful as you come through this. We have also been so very lucky to have had the chance to get to "know" you here on this list, and you will continue to have our support for as long as you need it. I have to agree that Gobo has been absolutely angelic in every way. I have looked forward to her updates of your recovery. When I see all the love and support on this list, I am moved beyond words. I just wish that I could someday meet you all in person!!! Well, here's to your continued recovery and more angels flying and hovering around here!!
