Dear Advena,

As one who walked that frightening walk last year, I must tell you that faith, prayers, and wonderful friends up-lifted me, as they can you. With the prayers and love of so many friends, I felt enclosed in a bubble of safety as we drove to the hospital. So, here I am today, a survivor! Please know that you and your father will be in my prayers. Do not be afraid to ask for help and encouragement. Most of us are very eager to help those in need. Blakeney
