I've been spending it with my family. It's been a time of reflection and remembering. Today marks one year that our Amy passed away so I won't be around much today either. We're all getting together after lunch. <br><br>I wanted you to know that you are a precious gem in my life and I appreciate you so much! I'm so blessed to be getting to know you even better and I pray that you continue to have more mobility and less pain with your RA. <br><br>{{hugs}}Anne Paynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16326796364748948854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3847882215674685241.post-61275002512516601902013-05-12T15:20:13.683-04:002013-05-12T15:20:13.683-04:00PTL KAREN!!!

Sounds like your mom went through a lot. The medications available nowadays help stall the progression of RA in many cases.
