thinking of all of you

[Guest guest]

To all of you who are having surgery in the next few days. You are

in my heart and prayers. It is going to be quite a group and I think

Dr. Rutledge is in for a treat. First I want to thank all of you for

the warmth and laughter you have brought to my life. Second I want

to thank you for your courage and willingness to share yourselves and

your stories with me. Third I realize how much you lives will change

after this week. and many of you will drop off the board as your

lives progress, and that is fine, people are in my life for a reason,

a season, and some forever, The reason is to help me or teach me or

to move me past a barrier, then they move on to touch someones elses

life, sometimes I don't know them well, but something that the do or

say sparks in me and allows me to grow. The season is basicly the

same thing only it lasts longer, and I am allowed the joy of knowing

them longer before they move on. And those who stay need what I

bring to there lives longer as I need what they bring to my mine.

For those of you who are moving on, thank you and bless you, may your

lives be filled with joy, and the pleasure of knowing that you have

been very special to me. I to will move on one day and hope that in

some small way I have returned the favor.

Cathy,

I plan to stay for as long as I can be helpful and for as long as it

continues to serve me, which will be a long time I hope. But many of the

post ops move to the post op list, which is where they should be, and the

very kind ones stay and help the babies like us until we can move on, this

is a good thing.
