Thanks to every one for your kind and thoughtful words. You are all a great bunch to be associated with. Even tho we may never meet face to face we all are a kindred spirit and have a special bond. I talked to Chris, Chrickett's husband a little while ago. The doctor came out after about 4 1/2 hours and said she came through the surgery fine and is in recovery now. Hopefully will get to see her in next couple of days. Am taking double antibiotics to try to get over this so can go see her. She is the best bud ever!!! I love her dearly. You could not ask for a sweeter and more giving friend!!!! She has been by my side through all the grieving and funeral stuff the last 4 days even tho she was facing this surgery herself. God bless you Chrickett and hope He heals you fast and you are no longer in pain after the healing process.

maybe I can teach them to sew- Is almost 2yrs and 4 yrs to young? lol

NO. They can "sew" punch cards. This develops fine motor skills and keeps them occupied "sewing " with mommy

gramqlts - my prayers for you and your family during this time of sorry.

gramqlts,

I am sorry to hear about your mother. A mother and a daughter share a speciall bond that even death cannot break. I pray you have special memories and will be able in the days and months ahead to rely on those memories for comfort and peace. Continue to take one day at a time to get better. What a bummer and now to have Crickett in the hosp. too.

I am glad to hear you are caring for your mom's ShiTzu. We have had two and they were very loyal and sweet dogs.

You are in my prayers and thoughts.

gramqlts although I don't know you my hert goes out to you. Losing someone so special is so hard. My prayers and thoughts go out to you all the way from Australia.

Please give my love to Chrickett and tell her I hope she feels better soon.

Cheers Jackie.

Dear Chrickett

I received a great card in the mail yesterday!!! It was from my SQA...A Batik card. I have never seen one before and I just love it. And snuggled in side was a bag of Mango tea...I love tea and Mango is one of my favorites. Thank you so much SQA, for thinking of me...
