Re: Francisco and Pam--to

[Guest guest]

:

I'm so glad to hear you up and about. You're gonna do well. Each

day you'll get stronger and stronger, and you'll find out what works

for your pouch and what doesn't.

Let us know how you're doing. It's nice to re-live those first steps

as a post-op through the eyes of newly minted post-ops like you.

You just got your wings. Like a baby bird, you're just learning to

fly. Soon enough you'll be soaring like an eagle.

There's a hymn we often sing in church that has a beautiful message

that I think fits your situation:

In the midst of new dimensions, in the face of changing ways

Who will lead the pilgrim peoples wandering in their separate ways?

We are man and we are woman, all persuasions, old and young

Each a gift in Your creation, each a love song to be sung

Should the threats of dire predictions cause us to withdraw in pain,

May Your blazing phoenix spirit resurrect our souls again

God of rainbow, fiery pillar, leading where the eagles soar

We Your people, ours the journey

Now and ever, now and ever

Now and evermore.

--n Rush, 1985

I love those words. They fit for us here, don't they?
