You will get plenty of time to pull your grandchildren as soon as your back is taken care of. I am sorry it is taking so long for you to be attended to, it must be quite frustrating. You truly are an inspiration! Some day I hope to be able to ride as far as you do. Oh, when you do make that jersey, please post a picture of it. I saved nothing from my heavy days. Now I wish I would have saved something.

What surprises me is how people I *thought* were friends assumed my personality changed when I went from a 98 pound young lady (I know-gross-worst part I thought I was fat ) to a 215 pound mom. Suddenly I was treated differently by those who I thought *knew* me. I am back in size 6s again and have no desire to go any lower. Now I get "it is nice to have the "old" you back". What? *I* never went anywhere. The only thing that changed was my outward apperance. I just shake my head a pray I am teaching my boys to value others for who they are not what they look like.
