Donna, Good Lord girlie. We have been close friends for years now and do you know that I see you now and sometimes I dont even recognize you! I simply want to say I love you, youve been like a sister to me and I am so very proud of you. In all the things we have shared thruout the years, kids, hubbies, loss of parents, but this obesity, it has been the toughest hasnt it? I am so glad we can share our loss together too. There are times when I dont know if I can do this and you are always there to boost me up and remind me that I am making the right decision. I dont know how to say thank you...but I do thank you from the bottom of my heart for your love, support, encouragement and inspiration. Thank you for making the decision to have surgery, I know that now I'll have you as my sis for alot longer. Heres to healthier, happier, smaller us!! God Bless you my angel and I love you muchies!!!
