Don't get on her much, obviously as I just read your message from 3 months ago today! It's funny how at one point our heart surgery was the center of everything in our lives and fortunately now it's on the back burner. Hope you are doing well and living/loving life!

Rhonda, I share Terrie's thoughts above. You of all people on this site can probably relate to many of the things Robyn and David were going through. It is very refreshing to see you enjoying your time in Alaska not so long after your surgery.
