To all who stood by me... Thank you, my good friends!

Thanks so much Michelle! :-)))

Got it...sent a message!

btw: Re opening links, post an email address here and I will respond via email. Once I have, removed your address and I'll remove this note. ;-D

Monica, I am very grateful to your wonderful hero too and am very happy that you have recovered so well, both physically and emotionally. Both my husband and myself felt your story very deeply and want to let you both know that we care. He certainly can understand Gary's feelings about this; he would feel much the same way. Thank you for letting me know what happened and how you are. It's good to be able to talk to you again!

Dearest Michelle, thank you for your kind words! This happened several months ago so I am almost completely healed up now! But, it was the most horrendous thing I've ever gone through in my entire life and wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy (if I had any that is). I received so very many prayers of get-well from all of my jigidi friends and family and that helped me in more ways then you could ever imagine. Everyone's prayers and thoughts kept me going through the very worst of it all. And I will be forever thankful to each and every one of them. The police say that this man was under the influence and thought I was somebody else entirely, I know this to be true because he kept calling me by the name of Suzzane. I kept telling him that I wasn't this person that he seemed to be so horribly angry at, but he just wouldn't listen to me. So, he's in jail thank God and I sure hope that if he gets out that they warn this person who is Suzzane that she could very well be in danger, because he very nearly killed me. If the guy that came to my rescue hadn't come when he did than I probably wouldn't be alive to talk about it today! He saved me from this madman, he'll always be my hero, and my hubby will always be thankful that he had the guts to tackle this guy off of me when he had no protection for himself either. Anyway, it's over and in the past and that's where it's going to stay. I will not let this guy make me afraid to go outside by myself again. I've taken many preventative classes and have gotten lots of council for it so I'm much better all around. Thank you so much for caring about me Michelle, your a sweet lady and a good friend. Big hugs dear. xxx

Oh, Monica...words fail me. I was not on jigidi for several months and didn't know that this had happened to you. I am so sorry that you had this horrendous experience but am heartened to know that you are in recovery and your assailant is in jail. (I will never understand what possesses a person to attack someone like this, and, in a way, don't think that I want to do so.) Keep taking care of yourself and each other. *hugs* to you and Gary.

Hello there Janine, yes something very bad happened to me a few months ago! I was attacked by a strange man one night while loading groceries into my car! He beat me up pretty bad with a steel bar and put me in the hospital! They did catch him though and he's in jail! My wounds are mostly healed up now, my ribs still ache a bit but I'm alright! Thank you so much for your prayers and for your hugs, I do love getting hugs so send as many as you like! My husband had a real hard time dealing with this, he wanted to take a steel bar and beat him up the same way that he did me! My hubby is quite protective of me! Thank you so very much for your concern, I very much enjoy your posting's too! And, please always be aware of your surroundings, be safe, don't let what happened to me, happen to you! Have a Blessed day, many hugs to you my friend!...Monica :)))

Dear Monica, I am completely unaware what has happened. But reading all the
comments, I am understanding that something dreadful happened to both you
and your husband. I am so sorry that someone so cruel could upset your life
the way they have. You are a very sweet person, and I have enjoyed your
postings. You are already in my prayers, that the Lord will Bless each and every
day for you and your husband. I pray that your heart and mind will know peace
and happiness again. I am here for you also. If you need an extra hug, just tell
me and I will send you many. Have a Blessed day. Hugs + , Janine

Ringleader- Hi Ardy, Thanks so much for keeping us in your prayers, and yes I'm making great progress every day! I get to beat the crap out of the dummy that the therapist has waiting for me every time I come in for my weekly session! l.o.l. It really does help, more so than I thought it would! At first I felt really silly doing it but now I've gotten quite used to it! I'm finally starting to feel like this big heavy weight is being lifted from my shoulders! I'm beginning to feel like myself again, and I'm not afraid to go outside by myself anymore! So, yes I think I've come a long way! Gary keeps telling me how proud he is of me because he thought that it would take me much, much longer to get over this! Once again, I thank you for keeping me in your prayers, I feel everyone's prayers making me stronger, and whole again!...Big Hugs to you my good friend! ;)))

Fileusa- Hey there Patricia, I'm so sorry but no I haven't seen any request from a Gibraltar, but I will definitely keep an eye out for it now that I know it's you! My Facebook name is both my first and last name which is Monica Hughes, if there are a lot of Monica Hughes's listed, than I'll be the one who lives in Henderson, Nev. My Facebook pic is of my 4 year old grandson Logan! I'd love to have you as a Facebook friend, thank you so much! Also, thank you very much for keeping me in your thoughts, everyone has been so kind to me, I couldn't have gotten through this without all of you! Looking forward to seeing you on Facebook, take care!...Big hugs to you my friend! :)))

Aggie- Hello there Aggie, it's so good to hear from you again! Thank you so much for keeping me in your thoughts, everyone's thoughts and prayers have made me so strong and able to get through this ordeal so much easier! I'm doing so much better these days, all of my wounds inside and out are healing very nicely! Once again from the bottom of my heart, I thank you!...Hugs and kisses to both you and Lola! ;)))

Mipahollo1- Hello again my good friend, so sorry I haven't been around for a while as I've been putting everything I have into healing myself inside and out! I will try harder to make time for my friends here on jigidi I promise! Things are going really well with both Gary and myself, he's been going with me to all of my sessions and has even started some sessions of his own! He's so funny, on this last session he asked the therapist if he could have a go at the dummy too, l.o.l. the one that I've been kicking the crap out of ever since I started my sessions! That poor dummy has seen it's last beating, I think she's going to have to buy a new one to replace it! Of course it was already in pretty bad shape before we got to it, from previous victims! Thank you so very much for keeping us in your prayers my good friend, I really do feel that it's made a huge difference in my healing process!...Many hugs and kisses ;)))))))

Still praying daily for you. Please do keep us posted.

Hello Monica...I am on facebook as well. I did send a request to you but I am not sure if I sent it to the right contact. If you see a request from Gibraltar that would be from me. Thinking of you and hoping you are getting stronger physically, mentally and spiritually. May all go well with you. Hugs and warmest regards

Hi Monica, I saw you had been online so stopped by to assure you that you and Gary and in my prayers and thoughts. You seem to be making marvelous progress. I'm so thankful. ((HUGS))

AAAWWW! Thank you so very much Ank! You are so sweet, and I love getting lots of hugs! Hope all is going well with you!...Many big hugs for you too! ;)))

I just drop in to bring you a hug. Hug Hug.

Hi Ardy,
I tried everything that you said but I still can't get to it so I'm just going to have my son James come over sometime next week and have him show me how to do it! I do thank you though for all of the time that you took to try and teach me how to do it! It was very sweet of you to do that! I guess I just don't understand computers at all, it all goes right over my head unless someone is right next to me telling me step by step how to do it! My son is really great at teaching people how to do things like that as he's super smart and super patient!...Big hugs to you my dear friend! And God bless!

Hi there Denise, thank you so very much for keeping us in your thoughts, I am doing surprisingly well actually, according to my counselor! She is absolutely amazed at my progress, once she began letting me beat the crap out of the dummy I started feeling a bit stronger! I'm surprised it withstood my beatings as it was already in pretty bad shape from previous beatings from other victims before me! L.O.L. Thanks so much though for asking, I really do appreciate your support through all of this! Everyone has been so sweet to both myself and my husband and it has helped given us that extra bit of strength that we both needed! God bless you for that!...Many gentle hugs are sent your way! :)))

Hey Adrianna,
Hope all is well with you my good friend, things are looking up here with us, as each day gets easier and easier for us to deal with! We couldn't have done it without all of the support that we got from everyone here on jigidi! Thank you so much for that! We both send you big but gentle hugs too!

Hey there Patricia,
I'm so very sorry that you have to work such long and tedious hours, I can't even imagine going through that in the heat of summer! That must be so very hard on you, I will be sure to keep you in my prayers also so that you are able to get through this without pain or misery! My son opened up a Facebook account for me while I was home recouperating and between him, Gary and my two best friends, I was able to stay in bed and each of them would take turns typing whatever it was that I wanted to say to friends and family! Once I got on my feet again and it didn't hurt quite so much to sit in an upright position, because of my cracked ribs, I took over from where they left off! So, if you ever want to talk privately on Facebook just let me know! Thank you so very much for keeping us in your prayers, you are so very sweet to do that! God bless you too, much love and kisses in return....

Hello there Mipahollo1,
Thanks so much for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers! In the beginning when this happened to me I was so full of anger and hatred towards this man that I thought I'd never want to pray for God to release him from my judgement! But surprisingly as time has gone by and my wounds begin to heal, I think maybe it's time I did pray for this as it's the only way I'll ever be free of all of this anger and hatred myself! Only then will I be able to go on with my life and feel normal again! I know in time this will eventually happen! All I ask is that you and everyone else be patient with me! God bless you, I pray that you always stay safe, that no harm ever comes your way my good friend!...Hugs ;)))

Monica, you have been in my thoughts and prayers too. I was just catching up on this and your last post and I think you might find a little prayer I say useful. When someone does a very bad thing - God always seems to have me praying for perpetrators - I just say, "Lord, I release this person from my judgement and leave him/her to You. I pray that you will deal with them according to your will and your mercy." By releasing the perpetrator I feel freer to thank God for all His blessings to me. I hope this helps a tiny bit.

Hi Monica. I do so hope you feeling better. I have not been on jigidi for quite some time now. But I am thinking of you often. At work, it's the wedding season at the gardens and I work many long hours. So I am too tired to get on the pc. Not even on facebook! I have taken a few days off so as to renew my energy. It gets very hot in the Gardens and all that walking about tires me so. I wonder how long I can keep this up. I so hope next year, i can just stay in the office and a younger person can take over from me. Anyway, i just want to say that you are still very much on my prayer list and will remain there until you are healed completely. God bless and much love and kissess.....

Its sunday night 21.55 and i just say Hi Monica and send you a very big hugg.

Hi Monica:-)
Just want to tell you that I think of you often and hope you are making progress.
Love to Gary.

Monica, Do you know how to check your puzzles for recent comments on old puzzles? I have an email I'd love to share with you. If you tell me you know how to find a recent comment on an old puzzle I'll give you my email address and you can respond IF you want to. If you would rather not use email just let me know. Hugs. Ardy

Monica, Hope you have had some sleep now. I'll try a vocabulary lesson.,LOL
Link - a string of letters and numbers starting with "http" that let you find another item. Chickiemama and Graciela both gave you a link to puzzles they made for you.

Browser - what you use to get on the internet like to come to Jigidi. The line where you type "Jigidi.com" for example is the browser window.

You told Graciela that you tried to find her puzzle but kept getting a question mark. What did you do that brought you to the question mark? If you get your son over ask him to install Google Chrome. It's free. Dear one, you may not call yourself old. I'm 77 and beginning to get old. You are nowhere near. I have two cousins that live nearby who are both computer literate. They have aught me a lot but there are so many simple (for them) things that I don't know how to do. I get really frustrated at times. I make notes and then later find the notes don't work or I don't understand even my own notes. Got to run get dressed and head out on errands. Need cat food!! That's a must. Some food for this human wouldn't be bad either. Hugs.

I don't even know what Google Chrome is! But it sounds like something I could use to make things simpler for me! All of this computer jargon your using just goes right over my head! It's almost 4:00 a.m. right now and I've been up all night long so I'll try it again later on today and get back to you! If I can't do it then I'll call my son and ask him what to do or better yet, have him come over and show me how it's done first hand! Thanks so much Ardy for taking the time to try to help this old lady to understand some of this stuff that I know nothing of! HAHAHA! Hope you have a wonderful day!...Big hugs for you! ;)

Monica, how do you usually open a link? What did you do that got you to the question mark? After you highlight the "http" line that's what you would do.

Your browser window is where you tell the computer where you want to go on the internet - like "Jigidi.com" That's where you"paste."

If neither of these work I'll describe the card to you.

I know about not being able to do what most people call simple things on the computer. I've had to ask the very same questions that you are asking me. I have problems with this "copy and paste" bit. That's why I use Google Chrome as my browser. It gives me direct access with it's "go to" option.

Hi Ardy, I'm back, I did everything you said and even wrote it all down on paper so that I wouldn't forget anything! But, when I got to the part when you said to choose 'go to' it didn't give me that option so I clicked on 'copy', The last part I didn't quite understand, about going to my browser window and clicking 'paste'? Where do I find my browser window to click 'paste'? L.O.L. I told you I was a big dummy when it comes to computers! Everyone is probably laughing at me right now as they read this!

Hi Ardy, I will try it again and see if this works! And then come back here to say if it worked for me or not! Thanks so much for your help in this, keep your fingers and toes crossed for me! HAHAHA!

Hi Monica, I'll try. Put your cursor between the colon (:) and the "h" in http. Left click the mouse and HOLD while you drag all the way to the end of the line. My computer shows a blue highlighting color over all that I passed. Release the mouse button and right click. I'm using Google Chrome so I get a box that gives me the option of "go to" I can click on that and the puzzle will come up. Otherwise choose "copy" Go to your browser window and click "paste. Hope this helps as it is a lovely card.

So glad you are making such wonderful progress. I do pray for you and Gary daily. BTW I'm Ardy. That's easier to type than Ringleader. I don't know much about computers either but get lots of help. I'd like to know if this works for you.

Hi Ringleader, I went back and tried it again but it still didn't work so I guess I didn't quite understand what you meant by highlighting! I'm not very computer literate so maybe you could explain it to me in a way that dummies like myself can understand it better? L.O.L. Sorry for all the trouble I'm causing you but I'd really love to see Graciela's card! ;))) Thanks so much, Monica!

Hi Ringleader,
Thank you so very much for taking the time to check into that link and for telling me how to do it the right way! I'll make sure to try it your way next and see if I can get into it this time! You are so sweet for keeping both Gary and myself in your prayers still! Every day gets easier and easier for me, and I am so very thankful for that as I thought my life would never be the same again! Actually, what happened that awful night, has made me into a much stronger and more aware kind of person! I've made it all the way out to my mailbox and back now, but while my husband was waiting and watching by the front door! That's a huge step for me, as not long ago I couldn't even leave my front door! So I figure it won't be long before I'm back to my old feisty self again and able to leave the house and go shopping and run errands again! I'm hoping and praying for that every day that it happens soon! Thanks again for your support my good friend, without it I wouldn't have gotten this far, and this quickly!...Big hugs, Monica ;)))

Hi Monica, I came by to leave a message to let you know you are remembered every day in my prayers - you and Gary. I saw your reply to Graciela so I tried the link and had no problem getting to it. It is a lovely card. I know you will love it. Be sure you highlight only http to the end and not the colon or anything before http. Try again. It's a wonderful thought.

A3ana- Hey there Adrianna, I'm so very happy that you got my email and am very much looking forward to hearing from you again! Thanks so much for being there for us! Your the greatest!...Hugs

Chickiemama- Hi Sandy, thank you so much for the beautiful puzzle, I've already put it together and also left you a comment on it! You were so sweet to do that for me! I love the color purple so much, and can't believe that everyone has remembered that about me! Thank you so much for being my friend through all of this!...Big hugs to you my friend! ;)))

Graciela- How are you doing these days my good friend? I'm so sorry to say but I tried entering the puzzle site that you gave me but each time it would come up with a question mark saying that it did not exist! I really did try several times but it just wouldn't open up for me! I was thinking maybe you might have accidentally left something out? Thank you for the thought though, that was so very sweet of you to think of me in this way! Now I'm so curious of what puzzle it was! L.O.L...Big hugs to you! ;)))

For you Monica: http://www.jigidi.com/created.php?id=096Z93OK

Fileusa- Hey there Patricia, thank you so much for your encouragement to help me get through this, it's appreciated more than you could know!

Thank you so much for being there for me, I'll never forget what you and everyone else here has done for us! May God bless you and yours and keep you safe in his loving arms! :)))

Love and HUGS

Hi Monica & Gary - I'm pleased that things are progressing in a positive way - you go girl!!!

sorry I have not been able to be online much lately and not aware of what has happened but put a few things together and know what has taken place....My heart goes out to you Monica and Gary ..

Dearest Ringleader,
Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers for us, and yes I agree that I've taken some very big steps toward my healing process! I feel so blessed to have so many good friends here on jigidi and I'm feeling so very well-loved by all! It's helps me get through my hardest and darkest of days while dealing with these feelings of hate and anger towards this animal! I will tell my son James that you said Happy Birthday to him and yes he is really happy that I started my first session on his birthday! He wanted to come along too but he had already made previous plans to drive out to Calif. for a very much needed vacation! Once again I thank you for your kindness, may God bless and keep you safe in his loving arms my good friend!...Hugs Monica

Hey there Patricia,
Thank you so much for stopping in to check on my healing progress! I'm doing much better, have gone to my very first session and it went good, also my first defensive class went quite well too! Thanks again for your much needed prayers!...Hugs Monica ;)))

Hi Denise,
Yes, we are definitely seeing a glimmer of light, and are taking one step at a time! Gary is not pushing me too hard, just enough to keep me going in the right direction! Thank you very much for keeping us in your thoughts!...Hugs Monica :)))

Hey there Graciela,
Thank you so much for keeping your prayers coming, I can definitely feel the strength of them filling my wounded body and soul! As each day goes by it gets easier and easier to deal with and without you and everyone else here keeping me going, I just don't think I could have made it this far so soon! You've all been so very kind to me even though you barely know me, and Gary and I both thank you for that! I will most definitely say hi to my wonderful, wonderful husband for you! God bless you, much love is sent your way from us, stay safe my friend...Hugs, Monica

Hi Monica! we are praying so you can find some peace within yourself! Remember we are here for you. Say hello to your wonderful husband!

I am still thinking if you Monica, and hoping there is a glimmer of light.
Just take one step at time. Much love HUGS

Just popping by to see how you are Monica. Still thinking of you very often and praying for your healing. Much love ....

Meant to add - Happy birthday to your son. What a gift you are giving him by starting the counseling process on his birthday.

Thoughts and prayers with you today, dear one. You have already taken big steps toward complete healing. You are loved by so many, including me. ((HUGS)) (gentle ones of course)

Hello Adrianna,
Thank you so much for your positive energy, it's greatly needed and so appreciated too! I thank you too for your love and warm friendship, and yes it has helped me more than you could know!
Yes, I will try emailing you again, hope your computer is no longer giving you problems my dear friend! Thanks for everything!...Hugs to you too! ;)))

Hi there Patti,
Thank you so much, and thank you too for the Bible verse, it's perfect! You couldn't have chosen a better one to help me go through this! I've kept my Bible close to me ever since this terrible thing happened and it has helped me considerably through my healing process! Thank you for being there for me my good friend, it means the world to me and to my husband too!...Hugs, Monica ;)))

What a precious card, Monica! I still think of you often, and since you mentioned that you read the Bible (I do too), when I think of you I can't help but think of this Bible verse: "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:" (I John 4:18) That has helped me on occasion.

This card say,s it all Thank you Monica and Garry i stil sens my positive energie toe you in spirit .
I now you willovecome this..!!. Love and warm friendships will get you tru this. Big hug.xx
--
tis is what yoy send me: Hi Adrianna! I emailed you but haven't heard back from you so now I worry that I put in the wrong email and that you didn't receive it! :( Please, could you let me know if you got it or not? :)))...Hugs

-Can you try again Monica because i have problems with my computer.

Hello Cevas,
It was the least I could do after what everyone has done for me, you've all been so very kind! Thank you so much for being there for me through my darkest hours! It's more appreciated then you could ever know! And, I'll try really hard not to be frustrated whenever I am afraid or when I feel anger inside of me! When the time comes that I no longer feel this anger and fear, then I promise you and everyone else here too that I will definitely rejoice! Thank you so much Cevas! God bless... :)))

What a sweet card! Thank you Monica. You know that we are still thinking of you and praying for you. Like the others said ... healing takes time. Don't be frustrated if you feel fear or anger. Just rejoice when you don't!!!

Ami, yes I did see your purple flower puzzle this morning and what a lovely surprise that was for me! It's so very beautiful and if you go back to it you'll see that I left you a comment. Thanks so much my dear friend!

Oh my Patricia, sending this thank you card was the least I could do, you've all been so very kind to me! Yes, I do know that you are all still there for me, do you know, I can actually feel everyone's strength going into my body, I'm feeling stronger and stronger each and every day and it's partly because of all of your prayers for me! God is helping me heal through all of you good people! Isn't that wonderful? I'm actually starting to relax a little about my upcoming counseling session, I really think I'm going to be alright, I mean, between counseling and all of you behind me and supporting me how could I not be! You are a very sweet person yourself Patricia, thanks for everything!

Hi Gail, yes I agree with you that I am already half way there in my healing! My mother just told me the very same thing today, that this too will pass, it will one day be a faded memory! I sure hope so, as I'd very much like to forget it completely, I know, that won't happen! But for it to be close to being forgotten would be very nice indeed! I'm hoping that the counseling will at least help with the nightmares that I've been having since it happened! That would be very nice too!

Thank you all for your kindness towards me and of course my husband too, I promise you it will stay with me forever and never ever be forgotten! You are all the best!

Oh Monica.. it's so good to hear from you. Thank you for your card with those dear words. All I can say is that we are all thinking of you and praying for you. You are a very sweet person and I am sure God will heal you completely even though the going is tough right now. But as loveydear so well put it "be just as kind to yourself as you are to others" and you will pull through.. (kisses and hugs to both of you guys)

Hi Monica, I'm very relieved you're progressing in your healing process. Emotional and physical trauma is so difficult to overcome. You'll get beyond this and be stronger for it; you're already part-way there. Please know that, one day, this too shall pass and be a distant memory. I echo the words that loveydear expressed so beautifully.

My goodness, you've all been so wonderful to Gary and myself! We just can't thank you enough for all of your love and support, for your compassion and your words of wisdom to help us to get through this bad time! Your friendship means the world to us, you've never given up on me even when I felt I wasn't strong enough to get through this, you gave me the motivation I needed to get through it, and for that I am truly thankful! I have to tell you that I am a big believer of God, I know that Jesus died for our sins and I make sure to live the way God wants me to as I want Him to be proud of me and except me up into Heaven when it is my time! I make a habit of praying to Him every day and I read my bible faithfully! I am a good person, and I would never hurt anyone or anything! I have to tell you, I've always made it a habit every day before driving away in my car of asking our Heavenly Father to send his Angels down to wrap their arms tightly around me, to keep me safe during my travels in the car so that I would not end up in any accidents, and I ask Him to watch over all of the other drivers too! I guess I should have added to that prayer to have Him keep me safe from all predators too! It makes me wonder if I had done that, would this have never happened? Well, I can tell you from now on that will always be a part of my prayer!
Thank you for your love, your blessings and your friendship, it means more to us than you could ever know, you are all truly kind, good people with the biggest of hearts! I am so lucky to have you as my friends, I certainly couldn't ask for better! Please promise me that you'll all be safe in all that you do, so that this kind of thing NEVER happens to you! And, I'll do the same!
Your friends,
Monica & Gary

Wonderful to see you again on jigidi:-)
Small steps at a time, we are all behind you:-)
Thanks for the lovely card Monica:-)))

A step at a time Monica - & you've already taken the most important ones!!! Best wishes for you & Gary!!

Very pretty puzzle, Monica. Thank you for your thank you! Keep looking to the Lord and gaining strength from Him for each new day. He is so faithful! Hugs to you.

You can do it! You're on your way, my dear! With all our prayers, good wishes and best energy, you'll be good as new very soon. God bless you, Monica, revel in the love being sent your way.

nice of you Monica!

I posted you a puzzle a few days ago, a bouquet of purple rhodies, I hope you 'got' them. Gentle hugs to you and Gary!

Hi Monica, I found your comment on my puzzle and left you one there, but just in case you don't go and check it out, I wanted to say that I understand your fears of the known, (your harrowing experience) and your fears of the unknown,(will the counseling help or hurt, etc). I have gathered by some of the comments of yours in the past, that you are a very sensitive and caring individual. You are thoughtful and kind and gentle with others and with animals. I hope you understand that you need to be as kind and caring, and as patient and gentle with yourself as you would be with others. If you could imagine a loving, supportive group of us surrounding you everywhere you go and speaking love, hope and peaceful healing to you every time you start to get upset with yourself for not making a call, or not making it all the way outside your door, or even just feeling the fear welling up, you would start to weaken the strength of the fear you feel. It will take time and practice, and I believe you can and will take back your power over it!!!

As someone who too has been blessed with the love and kindness of people here, I send you my love too and that our prayers can see you both through the dark night. But no night is endless and no darkness complete as long as there is a tiny pinprick of light - let our love be the light for you.

I said to the man who stood at the Gate of the Year
"Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown."
And he replied, "Go out into the darkness, and put your hand into the hand of God.
That shall to you better than light, and safer than a known way."

So glad to see you back enjoying jigidi again Monica. It all starts with baby steps and some day, it will be behind you. Hugs and God bless you.

Oh Monica, what a lovely card and such tender words! We are still praying for a complete recovery for you, and Gary too, and will continue to do so as you go through this therapy. I know it will not be easy, but God's grace can carry you through.

This is why we are all here, Monica, to support each other. As your outer wounds heal my prayers for your inner healing will continue as well. Develoop a mental image of our Jesus carrying you in His arms and take courage. Love and prayers and hugs for both of you. Ardy

Monica, will continue to pray for inner healing. Love and hugs to you and Gary.
