I just wanted to mention this story because I can relate in some small way to the process of what is happening and wanted to share with you a small miracle that did happen. it happened with some luck but also in large part because family & friends refused to give up on her & her recovery. this is the true value of love, friendship and family. <BR/><BR/>if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know – I will of course donate what I can to her cause & spread the word far and wide encouraging others to do the same.<BR/><BR/>my thoughts are with her, you, her family & friends. keep believing – you’re doing a great job.<BR/><BR/>take care,<BR/>quintin<BR/>quintin3@earthlink.netQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999066811830715888noreply@blogger.com
