I do hope they can find some good alternatives for her. My dad has lasted way longer than we anticipated with this disease.<br /><br />Awww, thank you so much! You are so sweet. I wish that were the case, because in my mind, I am way too young to be a grandmother. My son, her dad is 32 and I'm like, but we are the same age, how can this be! :-)<br /><br />You can give your friends beer goggles by buying multiple rounds of beer for them! :-) I can say I've never experienced them because I don't drink beer, but boy, the stories I could tell about others! Hope you are having a wonderful week!

I do think there have been strides made very recently, so hopefully your aunt's prognosis will be good and it can be managed.<br /><br />Count me as another one who thinks you're still in your 30's. Ok, spill. Did you rent that cute little girl and pretend she's your granddaughter so you can soak up all the compliments?? Huuummmmm??<br /><br />(I'm not sure what bear goggles are, but I'm gonna go get me some and pass them out to all my friends).

It was a decent day...worked, unpacked a few boxes and had drinks with our new next door neighbors. :-) Gigi's little song made me cry...and she is just so pretty, I cannot argue with that. But she knows it and never misses an opportunity to let someone know she's the princess and life is ALL about her! :-) I do love the napkins...they are just so wonderful....it's a sick fettish, I know...LOL.

That is definitely my granddaughter…she is 6 and lives in Florida! She’s a mess! And yes, I am way to young…LOL.<br /><br />Thank you so much! We have definitely been doing that. We have a strong prayer chain and our prayers requests are literally sent all over the world through our many friends. Email is such an awesome way to communicate sometimes. We have prayed for healing but do know that it is in God’s hands. You are so sweet Rita…thank you so much!

I am definitely NOT old enough to have grandchildren...that's why she can't call me by a "grandmother" type name...it is forbidden...LOL. When I visit, we run around, play barbies and jump on the trampoline and do other silly stuff. Of course now, she's gotten into make up and wants her mani/pedis....I didn't know what that was at 13, much less at 6! :-)<br /><br />Yes ma'am, it will definitely settle down and I've always maintained "that which doesn't kill us makes us stronger". And people wonder why I'm a hard-headed, strong-willed, Italian spitfire...LOL Love you too Miss T!
