Hi. You look great. Your pics are beautiful and your spirit ( I read some of your other posts and comments) is refreshing. I am encouraged as I get closer and closer to my big day, by stories like yours. Thank you so much for reaching back and lifting up a "newbie" (so to speak) like me. I pray that others will also drop in from time to time and share their updates with the team. Thank you. Side note: I have no idea why everything is underlined.

Thanks a million moonchild, im glad to be there for anyone as everyone was there for me on my journey. Good luck with everything, hv u had ur surgery yet, if not when r u scheduled:-) ? Such a beautiful investment when it comes to great health n change of living!
