Hello everyone. Sorry for being away from these boards for long period of time, but I must say it's been quite rock n roll lately in my family's life. I just take a few minutes to tell you guys that my mom had an open heart surgery last week at the respectable age of 89. We were quite anxious so see how it will go, but because she had a fine and very skilled heart surgeon, the surgery went just fine. She is now recovering at hospital, and so far so good. Of course, she has pain sometimes, which is completely normal, but it's less and less every day. I am so proud of her. She's a great person, a great mom and most of all, she wants to live until she sees her fifth generation. Her oldest grand grand son is now 15, and it might just happen. If you guys send good vibes to my mom, just like you did with my sister a few years ago, I would be so greatful. Family and friends are praying for her, and we support her the best way we can. My mom's nick name is Mimi. I will post a pic of her, and you'll see how great she looks. She is a wonderful lady and I love her to bits.
