Duh!!!

I woke up this a.m. and remembered that my incentive to start a blog was to be able to share with friends and family how much I appreciate them!

I have survived a week since my last heart attack (and boy was it a doosie!) and want to thank everyone for being there for me. I feel so loved (even when you're all bitching at me about quitting smoking....yes, its in the works!). I don't know if I can ever express how much you all mean to me, but hope you know that you will forever be in my heart to hold.

Barb & Keith-Thank you for taking care of the farmstead and my critters! They now all have a second set of parents! And thank you for taking care of me and making sure I have everything I need (i.e.Wood pellets!). This year is going to be quite the journey with your horse!

My Favorite Son - Tyler-Kiddo, don't you worry about your Mom, I'll be here for awhile to nag your little butt every step of the way. You are a good son, and I am so proud of you. Thank you for being here for me.

Kathy, Steve & Kids!- Kath, don't know what I would have done without you with me in ER. I was really scared and you being there helped a lot. Also, thanks for bringing me your clothes, although when I pulled that foo foo bra out of the bag, I nearly had another heart attack! :-) You really wore that thing? Steve-Sorry about the gravel road, hope your wife didn't kick up too many rocks and damage your new car!:-( But thanks for being such a trooper about it. Randi, Brett, Cassie, and Jordan-just thanks for being so sweet and helpful and coming to see me!

Kara-Know how much I love you and that if God decides to take me, we'll meet again in the afterlife (Well....it might be a little warm where you are...tee hee!). So stop stressing yourself out!

Mom & Honey Do- I love you bunches and am glad to hear the quitting smoking is going well for you! Mom, I didn't turn you into Kathy about your lecture! tee hee! So you should be safe for awhile. :-) (Just kidding Kath!) You guys need to come see me when we're all feeling better!

Marj, Aunt Pdiddy, Peggy, Mize & Co. and the prayer chain gang- Thank you for all your love and prayers as they are very powerful. I'm sorry to give you such a scare. Hope I can see you all soon!

Edith & Richard - Thanks for coming to see me as well. Richard, there is never a dull moment with you! Edith, you are a fine example of grace, peace, and love. :-)

Kirsten and Nick - Thanks for the comedy relief! Even tho I was pretty loopy, I remember laughing while you were there!

And last, but not least, my friend Patti-Thank you so much for coming to the hospital at 4:30 a.m. and sitting with me all day. That had to be quite a treat for you! You're my person...what can I say...God really blessed me with a friend like you.

There are so many people who sent me cards, flowers, plants....etc. My work, Operation Directors, co-workers, employees, friends, etc. Thank YOU!

So with that mouthful being said, I know I forgot quite a few people, but hope you know that every ounce of love has been felt on this end.
