I had an awesome time at the retreat and i met so many different wonderful people there and i cannot wait to meet even more of you all next year.  I am so glad i went, it was a blessing and ainspiration to me.  Thank you all.  By the way my father in laws cancer is stable for now.  He doesn't have to see a DR for 3 months it did not spread and from what i gather, he has the slow prostate kind.  Not sure of much more, but thanks for your prayers and your thoughts. Love you all Dawn
