catherine,

i am so happy to see your post. it came at an especially low moment for me, but your kind words and caring demeanor (i can "feel" your spirit hon!) brought me out of a nasty slump. i know it takes time to heal, but i was visualizing my life without singing and it brings tears to my eyes every time i think i will no longer be able to lull my grandkids and praise God... i know it will be a long time before i'll even be able to speak right, but i miss my voice and when i hear what i used to be able to sing i feel sad that i can't even sing it in a baritone, much less my prior soprano voice. but then i think about how i was before and i know i wouldn't change anything at all... i'd still rather have the surgery and live a voiceless life instead of a paralyzed one...

i cling to my faith that i will once again sing... it's all i can do!!!

hon, thanks for keeping my son in your thoughts and prayers. i told him about you, your little girl praying for him at night, and your prayer group... he is truly grateful for all you've done for him. it brought a tear to his eyes when i told him about you during his recent visit... he said that you made his ordeal worth it because it's for people like you and yours that he risked his life overseas... and he would do it again, in a heartbeat!!!

i am proud of my son, and all of our military who sacrifice themselves, and their families, in order to ensure our freedoms... no matter what anyone else could say, they place themselves in danger at the drop of a hat, without questioning the why's or wherefore's, etc. that takes "cojones" and they sure have them!!!

catherine, i send you a warm embrace, laced with the gratitude of my spirit...

gracias mi amiga,

sandra
