So appreciate this sharing.
Best of Luck, Patry.
I'd been offline for days and then in the wee hours I decided to check Simply Wait. I hadn't been there in a while. Sounds crazy, but I was thinking about her and had her book right in front of me when I read her post. She is a beautiful person and if karma exists, and I think it does, her strength will be shored by all of the love so many feel for her.
Patry,
you are in my thoughts and prayers...
Mo
Thanks so much for this link. I was behind on reading blogs this week and wouldn't have learned about this for another few days otherwise. You guys are the best. K.
