This is the right song for me right now... neede to share it with you all....

Being off line for a short while..

Hi Girls,
Well it's finally time... I got the test results and it appears that I have two malignant tumors in my upper leg bone.Last Tuesday I got the final results and the news that coming monday I will have the surgery.
They will remove both tumors and then I'm not able to use my leg on any way. So will be having a lot of bedtime. After that the rehabilitation will start and I will be coming around more and more.Of course I hope this will be sooner.. but since I'm not sure... I just keep it on that.
I have some post pre-sheduled here.. so now and then there will be a post here.
Last few weeks I had a lot of support and sweet words from you all. I want to thank you for it. It really was a shoulder to lean on and cry now and then.But from here on it's back up the hill...
I will the coloring, making cards and see all of your work and most of all chatting with you...But be assured that I will think of you...Here is a little card with that same text (in Dutch).

Stamp by Lilly of the Valley

Colored with my copic markers

Papers: MME Lime twist: Go Lucky
