Goofynina and Epoman - Gone But Not Forgotten

WWW
« on: April 28, 2010, 02:46:01 PM »
I have been offline for quite a while.  There is now some light at the end of the tunnel.  Since I was last active, I have had another graft operation after an aneurysm.  I will be a grandmother for the second time (late May/early June).  I have celebrated my 60th birthday and am now receiving a little pension in my home country.
I am so looking forward to taking my place back with the other moderators.  So much has happened here since i was last active and I am forever grateful for the Admins and moderators for keeping this vision alive through some serious challenges.
I LOVE YOU ALL!!! :grouphug;

(now, when are we having another reunion.  I have been collecting my FF miles for just this!)

Hello Grandma Bajanne!  I've not yet had the pleasure of really getting to know you, so I am thrilled to see you back on IHD where you belong.  I hope your new graft is serving you well and that life is wonderful down there in the VI.

Welcome back, you sound like you have been very busy busy. Hope this graft works well for you. Its lovely being a grandmother, you get to spoil them and then hand them back to their parents. Do you know whether the next one is a boy or girl? So how did getting to 60 grab you?

Boohoohooo! And there I was fooling myself that absence makes the heart grow fonder!  I have found out it is 'out of sight, out of mind'

Still love you loads, Fluffy!
