Thank You !!

I have been remiss in not mentioning the gifts, cards, and well wishes I’ve received to date. I hope you don’t mind that I don’t mention you directly, but I think you’ll know who you are and what your wishes mean to me. I’ve received candy, mints, gum, balloons, scarves (of all types to keep the old bald head warm), a menagerie of stuffed animals (that represent family members) that watch over me each day and night, sleep pants, soft socks to keep my tootsies warm and looking really cute, and scrub tops (Eyore, Scooby Doo, Cats, Tweety Bird.).

I’m always surrounded by the love from my family, Tony, Jeff, Lalania (Lucas, Anna, and Camille), Jason, Kim, Christy, Bill, Kerry, Jennifer, Alicia, David, John, Mom and Dad Scolaro, Mom, Pack, Jay and Christine, Elaine and Byron, Mendy, Steven, Shannon, Elise, Brannan, Patti and Bobby, Kevin, Amy, Jackson, and Ethan and extended family Carey, and Alexis, Terri and Eduardo, Robert, and Jessica. Their love and best wishes are the best kind of medicine.

I’ve received wishes of love from my precious ones in Utah that mean so much to me, wishes from friends from the past, special neighbors, a custom card maker, and words of comfort and strength from family members not heard from in a while. I’ve had wishes from dogs, frogs, hamsters, a monkey, a sickly basset hound, a chimpanzee from Washington, DC, cats, more cats, even more cats, badgers, Mickey Mouse, ducks trying to spell, a rabbit trying to make me “feel good”,

I have also received cards and gifts from all my friends at the U.S. Postal Service. Thank you guys.

My co-workers seem to want me back in the office. They keep whining about having to do my work when I’m not there. Trust me guys, I’d much rather be there. I really appreciate your words of strength and comfort, but especially the funny witticisms that come from everyone.
