Title: Awesome news!!
Post by: cloud393 on April 11, 2010, 06:37:43 AM

 :bandance;    The last 18 months have been a real strain on my family.  First I lost my job and then in the same week found out I needed to start dialysis.  From there it just went down hill.  Five surgeries and 4 hospital stays later here we are and finally a bit of sunshine.  We have 4 children. Oldest is in college (3rd year & lots of $$$$).  The second will start college in the fall and that's where the good news comes in.  She got another scholarship  award notice yesterday.  This one saying it will cover all academic & general fees not covered by any other awards.  Boy what a relief for our checkbook.  We weren't sure how we were gonna be able to swing 2 kids in college.  Our oldest plans on going to grad school too.  Well thanks for listening.  I just needed to shout it out!
