                  Since I became a member here, I feel the warmth, caring and support from so many people.

                  We are family, we are friends and when one of us is having problems, we worry.

                  I have been so fortunate to have found this site. I thank you, Lisa, for creating this site.

                  Merry Christmas and a very health, prosperous 2006.

                        Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah

                        I could not help but think of Lisa's family last night as we, our Irish Catholic family, celebrated the first night of Chanukah at our house with the lighting of the first candle and the saying of the blessing by our closest Jewish friends.

                        This came after a Vigil Mass Christmas Eve and long day of opening Christmas presents.

                        Michele and Mike, came in late afternoon wearing Red and White stocking hats, bearing gifts, candles and a menorah. Unfortunately, they forgot their dreidel, and I could not find mine.

                        My buddy Mike, a physician in the army for 20 years, was a great help advising me when I was first diagnosed nearly three years ago with HCM.

                        It was a great lesson for my 2nd grader grand daughter, Emily, who knew the whole story of Chanukah but had never seen the lighting of the candles or heard the blessing in Hebrew. BTW, I recommend THE JEWISH HOME ADVISOR, by Alfred J. Kolatch, if you are want a great guide to Jewish life.

                        Best wishes for the holidays to all and thanks for the support provided through HCMA!
