After checking my "Leah email" for the first time in over a year (maybe closer to two), I decided to post a general message. I have so many emails it will take me some time to reply to all of them. So general news---I just wanted to let everybody know that I am alive and well. Life with cancer was rough for a great deal of time, but now things are well with my health and in my life.  
Hope all is well in my favorite state!!

...and I'm so happy your health has improved! It's a good thing that we left a light on for you when you return!  

Ahhhh thanks!! Minnesota brings peace to my soul, so keep that light on and I may head up soon.

Been thinking of you and your battle from time to time and I am so glad to hear all is well.

It is absolutely great to hear from you!  

I was wondering how you have been!

It's great to hear your good news! Visit us and bring back that spirit you have.....and maybe some warm weather.

It is heart-warming to know that I am still thought about. I truly love Minn. and the people in Minn. as well. I am not sure when I will be able to get back to really enjoying life, but my comeback will definitely be to visit you. Keep your eyes open.

Glad to hear that you made it through the storm. All the best to you until you get yer beautiful butt back up here.

My sweet, you've crossed my mind and my prayers from time to time.  
I'm so happy to see this post I'm nearly jumping out of my skin.  

EOM

I've thought about you, wondered about you. I remember getting a text from you 2-3 years ago, and things had gone from bad to worse. Then nada until now!

I honestly was thinking the worst, so your post today and your PM has my heart soaring with joy!

Love,

Steph

the most wonderful ladies in the entire world! So kind and caring! I adopted you both in my heart as sisters long ago. At some point in this lifetime, the three of us should take a nice vacation...That would bring me great happiness! We all deserve it.

I remember you posting when this cancer was happening to you and just remember you being so brave and beautiful and a lovely soul!   I always wished I could have met you.  Maybe I will get that chance?!?!

After everything I have been through I have an entire list of things I must do when I get to Minneapolis and I would love company. Maybe I should make the list and have people fill in what they would like to go do with me. It's time to really live and see everything the world has to offer. And feel free to offer suggestions.
