My dear, caring friends and Cousins, who seem to want to know...

"They" say, I am doing better, day by day -I still feel congested and we will see the cardiologist today -hopefully, he may be able to help me a little -I don't expect wonders :(((

I am telling myself, that the new addition -the new valve - for my heart, is trying to get used to its new position...therefore the occasional pain, the fatigue, lack of energy, "heavy" leg movements, rough nights and sleeping problems etc.

However, I am still among the living and enjoying my wonderful family (you loving, caring guys) -it seems, this was not my time to join the angels... As Jim always said, you won't go until your time comes...As it must come for everyone, sooner or later, I guess...Let go and let God...

I am trying to be patient, patient, patient -it is sooo difficult for me...My great daughter, Julie, helps me to uplift my spirits -she is so positive and wonderful!!!

I love you all,

Thanks for sending us the up-dates on how you are doing. I hope each day brings you closer to feeling stronger & having less problems. It must be hard to wait until your strength returns & you are able to get back into your routine & life again. We pray that the time will be soon when all this waiting will be behind you. Yes, Julie is wonderful & she is a great caregiver to her very special Mother! We also think you are a special & remarkable woman & the Lord has more for you to do on this earth or you wouldn't be here! Being patient is the worst & I'm sure I would be the worst at waiting! Anyway, we love you & hope that you will be feeling better real soon. You asked about Judy's illness, she had leukemia & it was life threatening but she was a strong woman & fought the two kinds of leukemia that she had for about 5 years, until her body just gave out of strength from all the chemo that took a toll on her immune system. She had my brother as a caregiver & he was the best, just like your Julie! Thank you for your prayers & your concern for her over the years. She is at peace now & we are thankful for that, we will all miss her, especially my brother since he was with her 24/7. Take care of yourself & thank you for your inspirational & beautiful e-mails. We love you, Tarr & Joyce
