My daughter back East, Kirstie, has had an abnormal pap, after over 13 years of every six months okay ones, after bad news way back when which surgery took care of. She is having a cone biospy this Thursday morning. She and I would really appreciate the good thoughts of any of you who would care to help out. Some of you may remember helping when she had her twins, eight years ago, prematurely. I know she feels scared.

It's a tough Christmas for them, anyway, as she is separated from her husband, living on her own with her boys and neither parent has much to spend this holiday. She knows that is not what is really important, that healthy parents who love them and are not fighting is more important, but the boys are eight and it's hard for them to understand the economics of two households.

Thank you, so much.
