My thoughts for this part of the site actually started after my exposure to carbon monoxide in 2002.  I had very threatening health issues (aneurysms & venious angiomies) and my doctors weren't even sure I would survive them.  I wanted to let my family and friends know how much I love them and build a website where they could go for encouragement and spiritual support.  After brain surgery, when I was finally allowed to move around and do a few things, I tried to start this site.  As time has gone by, and with a lot of encouragement and help from close friends and relatives, I have slowly regained some of the things that have been affected by the exposure.  I have been working on this site for some time now and hope it will be a place of comfort and reflection on things that are important to me & hopefully my loved ones, as well as others who find themselves on my pages. Each & every one of you has touched my life & made me a better person for knowing you.  My wish at that time was to leave something for each of you to see & to recall all of the wonderful memories that have been a part of my life.  This site was going up very slowly at first but it's starting to come together.  As I wake up every morning, I truly do thank God for giving me each day to enjoy. Each one of you are so very special to me.  What I'm putting up here is just a small rememberance of special times and feelings.  There is much more that I hope I can express as I add to each page.  I will continue to put up new additions & add to the ones up until my mind is too feeble to go on.... Quit laughing!    This is a serious page!    (Hehehe!)
