With thanks, from the bottom of my heart ...

As you can imagine these past weeks have not been easy as I adjust to life without my darling Eddie. I am so fortunate to have wonderful family and special friends who are very supportive and helping me through this difficult period.

I must also say a big thank you to all my blogland friends. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful thoughts and good wishes you have left in comments and emails... they mean so much to me.

I do hope to get back to blogging soon and continue posting on the low carb diabetic blog that Eddie first started back in 2010. For now I'm going to sign off with words that Eddie often wrote, "good luck and good health to all"

~ my thanks ~

All the best Jan

Jan,
I was away on vacation and only now did I see that your beloved husband had died. My friend, I regret it from the bottom of my heart, may he rest in peace and may you find the strength to overcome these difficult moments.
