I am overwhelmed by your kindness and good wishes and loving support you have given me. (((((((David)))))))) now you on the other hand ... I want to thank for remembering. It must have been a weak moment when I told you because I'm not much of a birthday girl (tee hee), and this year for the first time that I can remember, I'm not happy with my age cause "I'm much too young to feel this damn old."
All of your friendship has meant the world to me. There are no words to express it. Some of you I have personally met and you are as beautiful to me in person as you are either on the boards or in the room. I feel so blessed to have found all of you in this room. When I think of each and everyone of you as I so often do, it's with love, laughter and fellowship. What a gift.
So to my friends -- Mandy, PW, Carolina, Kerry, Lauren, Senora, Sarah - it's true, Bubba, Tracey, Andrea, Kathi, Shel, Diva, Rita, Jennifer, Beth, KC, Blue, Gail, Danzeroo, Kari, Hubby & Pipers too, Cujo, R, Jewely and last but by no means least, David -- I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I had a wonderful birthday! and I am looking forward to another year sharing my recovery with all of you.
I love you all in our special way the same way you already love me, Maria
