Kedves Jutka néném! Nagyon örülök a jelentkezésének és a sikeres szemműtétének. Imádkozom, hogy a június végi is hasonló eredménnyel járjon és szeretettel kívánok szép emlékünnepet és sok szemnyugtató látványt. /A bejegyzésekkel pedig jobbára ellentétes hatást szeretnék kiváltni: hogy akik olvassák, örüljenek annak, aminek lehet.)
