Good morning everyone. Today, two years ago, I had my surgery. I don't think I would have had the strength to be there for Norronda without this surgery. I want everyone to know how much I hae appreciated your love and support. This has been such a hard time for me. I truly loved Norronda as if she were my own daughter. We are still waiting to hear from the medical examiner as to the cause of death. They have to do a complete investigatin since she died at home. I didn't think it would take so long. Her family plans to have the funeral Wednesday however. I am so thankful they have embraced me as a part of the family. I don't think I could do this without them.
I am going through the motions. I will keep everyone informed as the days pass. Love to all of you.

Happy Surgiversary to you, Aime,

I hope you can find some joy in this day to see the changes and improvements in your own life.  It's very nice to hear that the family seems
to appreciate all the love and kindness and support you so willingly gave to their daughter.  I'm sure they will draw on your strength over the next days and weeks.

Take care of yourself and congratulations on the two years!

Kathi

Aime,
You have gone to hell and back the past two years. Your strength has been enormous. Certainly stronger for having WLS. I congratulate you in every way.

Prayers to you and your family. May God give you strength and comfort.

Love,
Annette

Hi Aime,

Happy Surgiversary!  You are an incredible woman and please take care of you in this time of great sorrow for you and all whose lives are touched by the loss of Norronda!  Please know my prayers for all of you continue.

Blessings and good wishes on this bittersweet anniversary of the day you took control of your health.

Hugs, Laureen

Dear Aimee:

i know this has been a very difficult time for you and your son and grandson!  You can know that you treated Norronda like your own daughter and I am sure that her family appreciates it!  I will be praying for you especially on Wednesday.

To have a 2nd anniversary of your surgery is terrific and I am hoping you feel better and healthier now and will continue to enjoy good health for many years to come.

Oh sweet sister of mine, such good thoughts coming your way.  We both know things happen for a reason, who's to say what the reason is.  Thank God you had the surgery and Thank God you were there with Norronda.  I know it was your love that helped her though her ordeal, her joy, her life and her death. 
Sqeezing you tight in a big hug.

Aime, I want to congratulate you on this special part of your life. You have so many reasons to thank God right now. This anniversary is bitter sweet but know that you are being taken care of by God and that you are much loved by all of us, dear one. Take care of yourself and that way you can take care of others. My prayers and good thoughts continue with you and yours through this hard time right now and always. You are a important person to me and to all.

God heals in many ways and know that her passing is the ultimate healing for her. So many times we ask why, why me, why now. But sometimes we will only know the answers to our questions when we too get to the other side. Unfortunately by then it is just important. Especially when the questions involve our loved ones leaving us. We are never prepared for that, even if you have time to prepare. We are never wanting to give up our loved ones even if it means that they are being healed of their pain and inequities. Grief is a very selfish thing and that is alright. We grieve not for those who we love but for ourselves since we have to on with our lives without them. Know that your feelings are your feelings and no one can take them away from you and no one can say that your feelings are wrong, they aren't, they just are.

                    It's not what you gather, but what you scatter 
                        that tells what kind of life you have lived.

Aime, congratulations on your two-year surgiversary. Somehow you were meant to be with Norronda when she died. She needed you to be with her when her child was born and when she left this world. I'm glad all the wounds from the past year were healed and her family has taken you in. Please know you have my love and thoughts always.
