Re: To Fiona thanks.

Thanks Fiona,

My mom lives in Florida and she has not seen Cody since he was 2 weeks old (now

22 months) and it breaks her heart, she takes care of my grandfather who is very

ill and can't leave him, we can't afford to visit and even if we could we could

not stay at her house because he is constantly having bouts of pnemonia due to

lung disease. But my husbands mother does help me out alot she is wonderful. I

just had to mention that when I was in third grade one of my best friends in

catholic school was named Fiona and I always loved her name.

Love and Happy holidays
