  1. I have been bedbound for more than 14mos since an accident severed my leg, but a surgeon somehow reattached it! I’m slowly but positively recovering. I absolutely adore getting my “Bright Drops” delivered to my inbox.ThankYou so very much. You help very much to keep my spirits high.

    • Yes, Peter, two legs are definitely better than one. . . but, keep on believing in miracles, because there are miracles in this world. . . don’t despair and I think you already know that the people who love you, they love you no matter what, because the inside of you hasn’t changed. The only thing that has changed is that you are stronger now!!
      Always HOPE for a better day.

      Love,
      Marina
