I am about 7 weeks pos Takedown & doing really well. Will have to have hernia surgery in January or February for one that came up after Takedown, but that is a piece of cake to wear I've walked! I just think that Christmas with its true meaning is such a wonderful time! Most people try to reach out beyond themselves,
( this family here does it all year long) and that is what Christ birth is all about ( the giving of ourselves to others!) All of you here have become better people in the midst of many storms in thier life & I thank God for you & pray He give you grace to embrace better times & a better year! I could not & would not want to endure such times without my Love for God & the wonderful people on this web sight! Thank you & God Bless, heal, strengthen & prosper your life this new year!
Sincerly, Danny Roberts
