I am about a year out from this last update. I have not really been in touch with The family that I met you through. I originally wrote on your page here about my experience with having the aneurysm but mine was a planned operation that they knew was there and I did not have any negative effects from it while minor ones I guess. But I sent you a message just to let you know that I've been where you've been and that I am glad that you are doing so well. You're super great person. Best of luck to you. So glad to know that you are doing well. Sincerely, Jane Stoney

Awesome update! You are such a good writer! It sounds like you are right in front of us. Yup, some more time in some areas but I am so glad to hear that you are "back". Rock on Anna!

So wonderful to read your own, animated words - Anna. I haven't seen you in a long time but it was very important to be able to follow your saga over the past year through Caring Bridge. Somehow I didn't realize how COVID impacted you, including restrictions on loved ones visiting early on. Anyway, you're a model for perseverance and ensuring that your bold and fun personality exudes regardless of the turmoil you experience. I hope to see you and your family someday soon enough and meet Sord. I know my mom would love to see you too! Keep doing what you do. Live life on vacation time and ignore the calendar and watch if you feel like progress is slwo.

Anna I am SO happy to read this update and hear your own words and thoughts! I am so incredibly happy to read that you are YOU! That is the important part. The expressive language will come with time as you said. Hang in there girl and keep healing, one day at a time. I love you!!

Happy tears here too! Loved this post, Anna, thank you for sharing!

Such wonderful words of healing and determination. So glad you are you, Anna—the world needs your wonderful spirit!

Anna...it has been so great to see your photos and read your words and greetings on Instagram. VERY upsetting to now read what you went through...who wants a friend, a YOUNG friend at that, to experience what you did? I was devastated and shocked when Peter told me what had happened. I could not believe it....not full-of-life, piss n' vinegar ANNA! I ran to the internet to look up everything I could find about aneurysms and was so thankful you had a successful surgery. SO glad you are back with us...the Minneapolis Weir's send you many thoughts and hopes for continuing progress that is CERTAIN to come... and thank you for ALL the incredible kindnesses you have shown us; always a smile and warm greeting, Peter's never-to-be forgotten surprise birthday party, on and on.

Crying happy tears as I read this message. So proud of YOU! Love you, miss you and can’t want yo dance together soon! Xoxo - Kel

So happy to read your words and fill your spirit Anna!! All our love-Stephanie and Jim Loftus
