Both flame, yourself Pat and any other in your family have been in my thoughts in prayers during all of this. A candle has been lit, but apparently it isn't strong enough, so now there is a larger one now lit until such time as she returns home and is announced healed. I wish there was a way for us to come down there to help out, or give you a shoulder to lean on, as I know you have a lot on your plate as it is, Sis, but you are stronger than you think. If you need to talk, I am here. ~huggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggles~
flame, my friend, my beautiful friend, you are in our thoughts and prayers and this had better be your last trip to the hospital for this! ~huggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggles~ Seriously though, get better before this years gathering, or if you guys aren't going to the gathering this year, then we will figure a way out for us to come out and see you for a few days. Let Ray cook for you all while we are there to give those who normally cook a day or two off. I love you my beautiful friend, you are in my thoughts and prayers and you know how much I do that ~chuckles~ except for those of my family, which you have been for as long as I can remember.
