Not weird to me, I think she is beautiful too, so I am not surprised when others agree. I am just happy she will be around to keep hearing compliments. I had a friend email me today that his mom is dying of colorectal cancer so mostly I am just grateful!

My wife had colon cancer a few years ago. Now she has a semi-colon, and she’s doing fine.
