lots of hugs of "ánimo". we are all rooting for you.

sometimes these stumbling blocks can't be leapt over, but you will find a way around them and continue forward. everyday becomes precious, and time loses its true meaning.

life is hope.. and let everyday be full of it.

Mimi, I only know you from your Fodor posts, but I know that your kindness in helping everyone, will be repaid a thousand fold to you and your husband.

With all of the love, sincerest best wishes, and prayers being sent your way, you will both be protected and thought of often.

We are all with you both.
