About Me
I have three wonderful sons, Finnegan, age ten, Careign and Cavin, age seven, and a daughter, eleven month old Eilidh. We finaly completed our family September 23ed with our daughters Abholeine and Máire, who are home from the hospital and doing well. All I can say is, when they tell you to wait six weeks after birth, this is why. I am a family woman who loves to chat over a god cup of tea.

Little Love
Sweetie, you are amazing. I just returned for a very quick visit to check on your, read your journal, and, as always, think you are the most amazing woman in the world. Six children, RA, and you are still smiling and finding reasons to be happy, hopeful, and encouraging to others. You are my hero. Hugs. Me
Chicken Soup
Hope you and everyone in your family gets well soon.

Hi you,
Been away for a long time again but have been thinking of you. We are now in September and your two girls must be just around the corner. I hope the birth will go well and that you will survive this last one and find happiness with your two new girls. My school year just started and I am very busy but I will continue to pray for you just as I have been doing ever since we last "talked". Hugs. Me -

Hi you,
Sorry to have been away for this long but I am delighted to hear that all is going well with your pregnancy. I have been thinking and praying for you every day. It seems to be working...:) As for me, I am great. I am exercising every day, working not too hard (I am on holidays right now) and just about to go on a two week cruise (my very first ever) to the Baltic Sea. Yep, I will be very close to you but not there...We will be leaving from London and returning to London after stops in Denmark, Germany, Russia, Finland, and Sweden...Hope to hear good news from you soon! Hugs. Me

I have had RA since I was 17. They now believe my 9 year old also has JRA. I feel so bad. I just can't help him to feel well. I wish I could take all his pain so he could go and play. He is way too young to have this disease.
