News From Beyond

Well not really. I've been fairly busy. I went to NJ for Thanksgiving and had an unbelievably wonderful time. I had fun seeing lots of cousins and we did a lot of fun things.

My 17 year old cousin has a growth on her jaw bone and will be going under general anthesia to get in there and see what's going on. She may have to lose the three surrounding teeth and she will also need bone reconstruction surgery as this growth has destroyed some bone. So we're very concerned. My grandfather died of bone cancer at 50 and my Aunt (her mother) 1 had cancerous cysts on her ovaries. So, cancer runs in the family.

I'm a little worried. I was petting Smokey this morning and discovered a very large mass on his ribs under his skin. I called the vet and we have an appointment tomorrow. Please keep your fingers crossed for me and Smokey. I know he's a geriatric, but I already lost my doberman earlier this year and I couldn't bear to lose another one.

So, we have a few tough things to get thru. If you don't mind, please say an extra little prayer for us. I would greatly appreciate that.

And now I have some sweet news. I went to my cousins house (mansion would be more appropriate) for Thanksgiving. His wife is Philipino and they've been married for awhile now and they have no kids. Anyway, she has family in the Philipines and she has these two little girl cousins, 6 and 7 who's mother abandoned them and their father died last year. So she and my cousin adopted these little girls and took them from rags to riches, got them tutors, beautiful clothes and toys. You name it. These girls are so sweet and loving, I can't even express it. I walked in having never met them and they asked me who I was. I said I'm your cousin and they said okay and just started hugging me. It was just so wonderful.

School is now over for this term. I received a 96% in my Stats class and 91% in my Writing class.
I hope all is well and please, leave me lots of comments, I love them.
