“I am just amazed. You are so wonderful. You uplift me when I am feeling kinda saggy. Thank you so much for the card from everyone. I really appreciate it. It’s a joy. Words mean a lot and the receipt of the words on the card. I know you and I have had some wonderful talks too along the way. Thank you so much for this opportunity to share again.
