A Thank You....

As our lives have been continuing on, one of our dear friends Sacbarb has been busy taking care of her son Chad, who had major surgery. I stayed in touch with Sacbarb and thru her, I was able to have contact with her Son. I have been on a incredible journey reading and learning about his daily struggles as he continues to recuperate from his surgery. I have learned that many of you have also been in touch with Sacbarb and Chad, you all have been sending them good wishes, heartfelt thoughts and many prayers. I received the following e-mail from Chad, with his permission, I offer it to all of you as our daily blog.

Hi. My name is Chad and I'm the son of SacBarb.

On June 11, I had to have a quadruple bypass at the age of 37. My mom posted about it here on the blog and many, many people said that they would keep me in their thoughts and prayers. Some even posted on my personal blog documenting my journey through this. I Just wanted to say a big "Thank You" to the Night Owl community. I've never felt so "loved" by people that I've never met.

My healing is going slow but good. Every day is a baby step (or 7) toward a total recovery. There have been a couple of setbacks but they were both relatively minor. I'm told I should make a 100% recovery.

Thanks again to everyone for helping both me and my mother through this very difficult time. I don't think she'd have made it through all this as well as she has without all the love and support from her friends here.

One last thing...

Thanks mom for dropping out of your life at the drop of a hat to take care of the "black sheep". No words can explain how much this has helped and meant to me to have you here. There will never be words to explain my feelings for you. I may have been looking for Dad but I'm glad I came back to you. I love you.
