ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE

I have a surgery date of March 12, 2008 to bid farewell to the tumor.   This has been a whirlwind of a week.  Art, you have been a rock knowing exactly what to say and do to soothe my fears.  You are the love of my life and I am so lucky to have you.  I just put my mom on a plane back to Houston and her emotional support was priceless. She will be coming back the week after surgery to help with recovery.  I can not thank everyone enough for springing into action when I got the news.  My sisters Michelle and Julie were ready to hop on the next plane to hold my hands.  We speak on the phone every other hour.  They are both coming in to help me before, during and after surgery.  My dad is going to be by my side as I wheel off to surgery and hopefully crack a few jokes (I expect no less).  So many phone calls and emails from family, friends, neighbors, tennis partners, friends of friends, and friends coming out of the wood work.  I would also like to say a special thanks to Art's side of my family-my other sister Vanessa, Cliffy, Mom Judi and Sylvan.  I have never felt so loved and cared for.  So many prayer groups are praying in my name and I feel the power, peace and love it brings.  I again thank God that the AN is curable and I will bravely face what lies ahead with all your love and support.  I CAN'T LOOSE-I'VE ALREADY WON!!!
