    Padre, thank you so much for your words of encouragement. She is truly in Gods hands. Waiting for her to come out of surgery right now. God is in control and trust him in it.

    Padre,
    Thanks for the kind words. I always try to focus on the positive. Life's too short and precious to do otherwise.
