Ann!

[Guest guest]

Dear Ann,

Just when I think that I am down in the dumps and can't come

back up again I read a story like yours!...Bless your heart, darlin'.

Especially having a divorce and an upcoming marriage of your ex at

hand. I will hold my torch high and help light your way with my

prayers. The surgery's main function is to help us become more

healthy, but won't it be ironic when you have lost all the weight and

you see your ex again and he says, " Wow! You look wonderful! " I hope

your weight issues are not a reason that he is leaving but if it is

then, 'shame on him!'.

I will try and get a rush on mine too...but I still think my

surgery won't be until July. God has his own time in working things

out. (Then he tells Dr. R...LOL)

Take care, and keep me up on your progress,

Love,
