I recieved this note from Mary Ann (I would have posted it sooner, but I just got back in town.)

Dearest Budge, Rainy; Willie (Internet Golfer) and Susan (SweetLiberty) and everyone at FReeRepublic too;

I woke up this morning with pain again..and it REALLY depressed me something awful.

I think the pain meds do that too.. so I had jumped in the shower... trying to wash away the feeling.. and in comes Art with a "surprise!!!!".. "Look what just came"

I peeked out the shower to see the most BEAUTIFUL plant I' ve ever seen in his arms. ITS HUGE!!!! ITS BEAUTIFUL!!! And its beauty is a reminder of how precious you all are to me. TALK ABOUT TIMING!!!

So,.. I've been crying.. but not because I feel sorry for myself (like I did this morning) but because God sent me all of you,..and He knew I needed a lift.. so THERE YOU ALL WERE!!!! I've no doubt the Father knew my needs and answered them. I pray He will always bless all of YOU.. and bring back the good you just did for my heart a hundred fold!!!

THANK YOU ~~~~ THANK YOU ~~~~ THANK YOU!!!!

I had made a decision to NOT tell my family,.. my folks are elderly, and everyone is so far away,..and knowing it would have only caused them great worry.

The FAMILY from FRee Republic made all the difference in the world. From the calls from MrConfettiMan, XJones, and you Budge.. the flowers from all of you.. and the prayers at FreeRepublic that Art would read to me on the phone as I lay there.. they all lifted me in spirit. They all came at times that I felt so down.

God and Scripture and the prayers, are so comforting.

I look at my husbands worried face and my heart breaks,.. I truly married an Angel..and I pray it is Gods will for me to get over this all quickly. I want to grow old with him. :o)

Please keep me in your prayers just a little bit longer.. I still need them. And please know HOW much this all means to me.

I'm so wiped out right now.. and thats hard to admit when you think you can beat anything, and then it beats you down. I know there is a reason for all this, and I'm going to be a better person for having gone through it. It just made me stop to think how awful it is, that there are so many sick people who are suffering so much in this world. I wish I could take their pain away forever.

I can't wait to be back to snuff enough to post and be at FR again daily. For now, I'm going to just be easy to myself,..and rest to get over this for once and for all!! Dag Nabitt!!!

I REALLY DO NOT WANT to go back into the hospital..and I REALLY do not want any more surgeries!! My liver has freaked out from the meds as it is.. so it will be really good when I can be OFF them for good!!

Again.. I send prayers for everyone who has been so wonderful to me, so kind and so giving to have all the good things life can offer and MUCH happiness!!

God Bless you all.. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!

Mary Ann

PS. I was thinking today of how we know Jesus and love Him without having ever seen His face.. and how I love all of you without having ever seen your faces!! Now tell me that all of you aren't a GIFT from God!! ;o)

[sweetliberty]

WOW! What a neat note! What a wonderful idea that was Budge!

[Alamo-Girl]

Thank God for Mary Anne! Prayers continuing. Praise God!!!

[Budge]

There you have it from this very sweet woman. She still needs our prayers!

Please, if any of you I have pinged have ping lists of their own, do Mary Ann and Art a favor...use them to let others know about this wonderful woman!

Personally, I can't thank everyone enough for the joy and comfort you have all given her with your prayers and well wishes!

I will continue to post updates on Mary Ann's condition as I recieve them.

God Bless you all!

[Budge]
