Im not a religous person, but last night (Christmas eve) I prayed and thanked God for letting me be here. I thanked him for giving me the chance to be with my kids and family today when justs over a month ago it looked like I wasnt going to be here. I have so much to be thankful for. I love my kids and family :)
Merry Christmas to all and enjoy your time with your loved ones. They are very special people!
Take care and love to all.

Merry Christmas to you too. This season is a great time to stop and reflect on what is important to each of us and you certainly did just that. We all have a lot to be thankful for and it doesn't take much effort to look around us and see others who have been 'dealt a worse hand'.

Keep the faith, God Bless You and here's wishing you a very happy 2006! You certainly deserve no less!!

I think all of us appreciate Christmas more now that we realize how precious life can be! I wish all of you a very happy Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year. None of us knows what next year will bring but we can enjoy the present. To those who are not feeling so well, I hope healing comes soon and that life will return to "normal" as soon as possible.

Much love to all you wonderful people who are always there to support and advise when necessary.

Happiest of times to all! Thanks to all of you for the support and advice that you all give each other. Pray for healing to all....love everyone!

I wanted to echo the responses of the above...Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy Kwanza, Happy whatever you may celebrate. Whatever you celebrate, if you are on this board, I know that like me, you are grateful for being here, with loved ones, to share in the celebration of the holiday and be with family and friends.

I am EXTREMELY grateful that I have had the opportunity to see my young boys enjoy this magical time of year, and see the excitement and bewildered twinkle in their eyes this holiday. I am also grateful that my wife has been and remains by my side... like my kids, I look in her eyes and see the sparkle of joy and love she feels for me, and feel SO darn lucky. :)

I wish all of us a good year full of health, prosperity, and love, and look forward to speaking with ALL of you next year same time, same place! Happy New Year! :angel:

Fondly,
