Wow, I don't know what to say! I'm overwhelmed and so touched by everyone's beautiful, caring notes!
Dorkalicious - You're not hijacking at all; joy is meant to be shared and I'm so glad you chose this thread to do so!!!
What do I say about John? I'm at a loss for words when I think of this amazing man. I'd say I have to pinch myself to make sure this is all real, but John's taking care of that for me. :D (And was quite tickled when I told him that).
I never dreamed in a million years of being this happy and this cherish, so I thank Rabbit for creating The Library and everyone here (from the greeters to the newbies like me) for making this such a warm, welcoming place to share.
Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! :)
