Ahh Jody.  You are the steading force in the hurricane.  I miss seeing you each month, but it was wonderful having a "conversation" with you today.  As I read your post, I sat her nodding away, saying yes and glad to know you touch my life.  You have always been a positive to my negative, and I am very glad to call you a friend.  And bless you dear lady, I know the rough seas you have traveled and glad you find yourself on the beach again.
Sending Prayers and Hugs.
