Merry Christmas, my dearest Gypsy. I'm so thankful this year that you have touched my life in a very special way. Although I haven't been able to write you, or visit your delightful site, the past few months, it was all due to a heart attack I had on the operating table. As I was coming out of anesthesia--for extensive oral surgery--on July 29th, I was fighting for my life. None of this had to happen if the MD's had just listened to their patient for a change. Although I'm feeling a little better, I'm still quite weak and overwhelmed with all the medical issues which took place during this year. I miss our chats and perusing your beautiful albums. Hopefully, I will be able to spend more time on the computer and with my friends in the coming days. Sending you best wishes for a beautiful and safe holiday, my dearest Gypsy--along with lots of warm, gentle hugs across the miles. Luv ya bunches! Sweet Caroline
