Sep 2012

My mom had a stroke several years ago and it was so scary. Please know that you, your mom and your whole family are in my thoughts and prayers. If there's anything I can possibly do, please let me know. People here at DU are pretty wonderful, so you've come to a safe place.

Again, if you need someone to talk to who knows something of what you're going through, I'm here.

Please take care.
