I just wanted you to know how often I think of you. I was disappointed that I didn't hear from you Saturday, as I was hoping to be able to come by and visit. I want you to know, and hope you know, that I've always liked you as a friend and admired and respected you as a lawyer, as shown by all the advice I have sought from you and the cases I've referred to you. But, through this blog, you have taught me a lot and given me a lot to think about, and I want you to know how much I respect and appreciate that. You have all the positive energy I have for this surgery (and I have a lot.) I have no doubt that it will go well and you'll be up here this Spring to water ski. Please tell John to let me know if there is anything I can do and tell Brent that "Nicki Vaughan," who used to read him bedtime stories says hello.

I have been fortunate enough to spend some quality time with y'all this evening and I sensed from you nothing but a calming underlying strength. You know you are in the late rounds and you have come to conquer what we all know as the doubter demons. I lived for most of my life unfotunately without the ability to move away from my own fears. This omnipresent fear infiltrated my very being from a major inferiority complex obtained early in my life. When scary life circumstances forced me to confront my fear and also conquer it I reached a place of inner peace that I never knew existed. It was a cathartic and cataclysmic awakening. So in my own way I completely understand your pathway and the outcome to overcoming your fear of the unknown. <BR/><BR/>As someone said above today in your blog, you are a pure giver never a taker and that is what I love about you. I had a sixth sense about that from the first time we met. You get life and have given entirely to it. Now it is time for life to give back to you. You have done all the mental and physical preparation. You have intelligently immersed yourself with your beautiful family and friends... now it's time to get the judges to award you the TKO. I already have. Comedy forthcoming..

You find simple joys out of simple things, and always look for an opportunity. For us, your support network, we are here, praying for you, doing what we can, and you are doing the hard part, fighting, keeping up your attitude, and doing what it takes to beat this thing. Your cheerleaders(and their are hundreds-literally) are besides you all the way, and I know you know that, so when the raft gets a leak, or you stumble, it is only for a second. So, as you go into this week, do so calmly, peacefully, and knowing you are doing what you want to do with all of the love, hugs and prayers all around you.<BR/>Love,<BR/>AnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114788379158236205.post-60943456396964817052008-09-19T23:54:00.000-07:002008-09-19T23:54:00.000-07:00You have our prayers, our buckets for bailing, our...You have our prayers, our buckets for bailing, our patch kits, our backs to push with and our love.<BR/>D&DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114788379158236205.post-51641505286453628362008-09-19T18:07:00.000-07:002008-09-19T18:07:00.000-07:00I understand what you are 'saying' and I want you ...I understand what you are 'saying' and I want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
