Thank You

I want to thank you for rallying around me. I have been shown true Christlike love and acceptance by all of you, and after my family I count my friends as the greatest blessings of my life.

After giving too much credence to what someone I neither know nor will ever see again said, I am reminded again and again what is truly important in this life we are living--and that is the hearts of those we hold dear. My family and friends see me not the body I inhabit, not the dumb mistakes I make, but the love I show. I hope I do the same for all of you.

Sarah brought me a sweet note and some brownies, Rachel gave me a lovely, cheery bouquet along with a hug and a note of encouragement, Tara called me and gave me a pep talk, and Mel reminded me that those who are critical don't matter. And Tiffany, she gave me examples of those who have walked much harder paths than I did; dealt with so much more than some cranky little lady in Costco, and He who's opinion is the most important of all.

I am humbled by all of you and your support. No woman has been more blessed than I.
