It is so...Well, you go Ruth! She look fantastic! <br />It is so amazing to me how the human spirit can make such wonderful things happen. I am so pleased to hear about how well she is doing. She is THRIVING!<br /><br />She obviously isn't done living yet, and has some more awesome things to accomplish. Although, I'm kind of thinking her biggest feat was creating such wonderful children.JuJuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13308275543076910402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3389638963547998271.post-27484928812423184972013-07-10T20:08:02.970-07:002013-07-10T20:08:02.970-07:00Thanks Steve.
