Thank you and I am so grateful for you....

This post is to say thank you for all the emails, phone calls, text messages, posts, etc. Many of you want to know how you can help and, well, the best thing right now is to pray, cross your fingers, do whatever you personally do, tomorrow at 11:30. I am praying that all goes well and that my surgeon is able to perform the surgery without complication. Many people have asked about the help calendar. This is always a little difficult for you because I feel that I have received so much for all of you - but if I don't respond, some of you will hunt me down and make me. Yeah, you know who you are!!!! I have decided to take a break from the food calendar until after April 15th as I am off of chemo and can do more cooking. Plus, I think there are some mystery things in my freezer we need to eat anyway. If you would like to sign up for the new food calendar, please let Sarah know. She can be reached at sarah_09@comcast.net. The kids are taken care of by my folks during this surgery, so they are covered. Lastly, Sarah mentioned to me that she would like to put together some Dinner's Ready meals for me. Dinner's Ready is a meal program where they put together meals and deliver them to your house for your freezer. I have used them in the past and they have also been gifted to me. They are tremendously convenient and well received. If you would like to contribute to that, contact Sarah. (I have a really tough time asking for this because money is involved, but I have been assured that people have previously mentioned this and I should just put a cork in it.) As for that, I am doing very well. Insurance is pre authorized, paperwork filled out, prep started, PTA meeting over, and the boys packed. It is sweet how they pack up, choose their PJs, and just get ready like this is NO BIG DEAL. I am very lucky and, tremendously thankful, for all of you. Love, Ang

You are an amazing woman who has put her mark on so many people with your friendship, generosity and wit. We are all on your side like little cheerleaders! I will be praying tomorrow but as I said this morning, every ounce of my being will be at your side on that table in the OR! (And that's a lot of ounces!!!) Hee hee ;)

I have been reading your blog and praying for you for quite a while, but have never commented. I will be praying for you tomorrow and the days ahead in your recovery.

Two words:

1) Feisty - full of animation, energy, or courage; spirited; spunky; plucky; Angela Clarno.

2) Prayer - a devout petition to god; also a petition; entreaty. Think George Bailey from It's a Wonderful Life, opening scene. "Please, God, help George Bailey." "God, George needs your help." "Help my friend, George Bailey, God." Hundreds of prayers reaching up to heaven. And God hears them all!

You have my prayers along with Carla's for every needful thing tomorrow. If it helps you to know, you've had my prayers since I first discovered your blog. Go in to surgery knowing that hundreds of prayers are reaching God's ears with your name attached. May God reflect back to you the love of your friends and supporters. May you know peace from these prayers.

Please know that our hearts, thoughts, and prayers are with you in this. We send you our hugs and love too. Now go get this done, my feisty friend. Next time I'll write this before I take my sleeping pill. I hope this didn't wander. Much love, Steve
