This is my grammy (VJ) speech:

Special thanks to all of you faithful VJer's who encouraged me through my uneasy, nerve-racking, tension-filled, last 7 days of concern.

To my yardie KKHOLIDAY big up for your great support when I took baby steps as a newbie on VJ. You are always on spot to congratulate everyone..seems like you are employed on the congratulating team :rofl: . Your knowledge and encouragement every single day with the prayers, kept me sane. You never left me girl. I appreciate all the messages of concern about my husband's health and the reminders that I am not alone in all of this. God has a special seat for you in heaven :yes: Friends 4 life girl, friends 4 life :thumbs: .

To SteveandTiff who calmly held my hand so to speak, I love you both.

To dbears who is studying like crazy; you have been the calm voice of reasoning and every Jan filer mamma :lol: where are you girl? Visit your kids, man

To EtherealVocalist who I just met three weeks ago when your husband was in the same position as I was and who played sweet melodies to calm my anxiety; you are greatly appreciated and love. Yu have such a beautiful heart :luv:

To john_dot and c&z I love you guys and thanks for all the support.

To pushbrk who is not a Jan filer but a VJ veteran and who helped me when I needed to know how what to do to submit my documents. If it wasn't for you I might have been getting RFE's like crazy. Thank you very much.

To Septembergold who checked up on me to see how things are going, just remember that little is much in my book and it means more than you could every know.

To all those who listened to my ranting and raving and everyone who just posted congratulations, I appreciate it a lot. I love you guys and I just want you to know that I will not be leaving VJ. Persons are here that need encouragement as well and I will give as much as I can. I just love you guys with all my heart and I want you to know that I truly, truly appreciate you.

Love in abundance,

Karen
