Hi everyone,

Today is the anniversary of my new life. I just wanted to once again say thank you to all of you who have encouraged, advised and supported me this past year - a special thanks to Eric for this website! I also am so grateful to my husband, children, family, friends and community who were more than just a cheering section! Above all, I want to thank God for His ever present help, love, healing, etc. I could not have gotten as far as I have without Him.

God bless you all!!!

Stella

Happy anniversary, Stella - all good wishes to you! My one-year anniversary was two weeks ago, and I feel the same way you do - so thankful. Have a wonderful continuing recovery, better every day.

Well,  tho I was visually eavesdropping from a distance,  what a joy it is to reach an anniversary of better heath or at least one that is still improving with notable changes and holding promises.  You are celebrating this accomplishment and I am so glad that you shared it with us all!  Ii is an amazing feeling to reach one year in a different life style such as this and to have succeeded in it!

Stella and Linda (LLNorth)...almost  double stomaversary. Congratulations to you both for climbing this mountain and inviting us along!


Linda
