Hi Alisa:

Sorry I took so long to answer you. I seldom sign on to this screen name and I just signed on today.

Zandra was operated on Monday and is doing very well actually. She got moved out of intensive care today. She's a strong lady and has a very strong will.

She bursted into tears when she read your poem. Needless to say, it really touched her. Thank you very much for your generosity and your good vibes.

Do me a favor? Please do not stop writing and posting your stories on the list. There are a lot of people who enjoy them and are touched by them even though you may not know about it. I know there are a lot of people that can get on your nerves on the list, but there are many who like myself enjoy your stories and poems. You do make a difference.

Stay as you are.

Thank you again
