Two Years, 745 Posts


First of all,

THANK YOU!

Today is the second anniversary of beginning my blog. I think that's called a blogaversary, right? The gift to give is cotton. Hmmmm--

I'm thanking you today for sticking by me, in more ways than one. During the last few weeks, in particular, I've received so much support and so much love from everyone here that I don't know what I might have done without it.

Honestly.

I'm happy to report, too, that the insurance industry has decided to approve Sophie's treatment and that we now have only to wait for a bed at our hospital. I am

tired.

Gratitude to you.

    Happy Blogiversary, dear friend! You & your words have given me so much pleasure since we've met. I love your blog and your voice (& cotton candy, too!).
    I'm so far behind here, because we've been helping out at camp, driving back and forth and taking ferries. It's such relief to read that your insurance company has decided to pull its head out of its a$$ and HELP you. I couldn't agree more with your post below about the bottom line.
    With love and rejoicing - and now, where's that BED for Sophie? xoxoxo

    congratulations on both counts - prayers have been answered - at least for today. I wrote to the school about the 7th grade for son number one to see if it is even a possibility at this late date. I am available weekends for a Sophie serenade.
