Ok gang...time for the prayer circle...

I can use all the help I can get when I go under the knife tomorrow.  In spite of my attempts at bravery, at least for appearances, I'm actually fearful.  Ominous feelings.  So kick them prayers into overdrive please.  Courtney, would you mind my giving your number to Matt so he can call you & let you know how I'm doing so you can then report to these folks?  Mike's gonna be stressed enough just having to deal with my family. So I'm off to take care of last minute details.  Just IN CASE things don't go the way we'd all hope for, let me say that I love you all & appreciate all that each of you have brought to my life.  We may have our occassional squables, but when the chips are down we ARE just like a family & rally around each other.  Nobody better mess with our ohana here!!!  So love each other, support each other & if God should decide that I need to live elsewhere, just know that I will volunteer to be your guardian angel, ok? Sorry for the dramatics, but I really am feeling quite vulnerable & just don't want to lose an opportunity to tell you all how I feel.  Makes sense, right?

Ann:  You are in my thoughts and prayers.  We're all looking forward to your surgery being successful, uneventful and you getting back home and on your feet soon!  All the best!  ;)

Thank you Cindy.  I appreciate you so much!!

I better have you here for my wedding with you here and you get in there get this done get home and recoupe and have your butt up there on May 3rd as well so we can give you big hugssss. Your in my prayers and will be thought of Ann I know your worried but God is not taking you now where just yet he knows your needed right here with all of us.

My goodness, Miss Prissy!  Don't hold anything back, ok?   Ummm...May 3rd?  This year or next year???  If it's THIS year, we have a lot of work to do, girlie! I love you!!

Hey lady, you letting the gloomies get you.  I don't think so.  Nerves are fine & understandable.  We love you & prayers are definitely coming your way.  Of course you can give Matt my #.  I will gladly keep these people informed.  Love you lots & can't wait for the improved you!!! 

Thanks Courtney & I love you too!!! 

Best wishes, I've said a prayer for you. Hope all things go well. Penny

Good am Ann! I'm in talks with God as I'm typing this. Not being dramatic you are fearful and such emotions are "normal" and keeping courage, strength, faith and hope alive is where our love comes in. You are always in my thoughts & prayers and for extra fluff I'm sending up some extra ones. I pray for the swift/unshaken hands of the docs and the smiling face which will be back to us in no time. You're already an Angel here on Earth don't need ya upstairs just yet. Hugs.............
