I came home from work one day and Frank, my husband, said, "Why don't we see about a trip to Israel?" I replied that I thought that would be great. We had no up to date passports.

I have just completed all my 6 month Follow-up appointments. My cardiologist was so pleased this morning with my ekg and echo that he said he would see me in a year!
