“I have thought and thought and thought some more over what to say, but I can't thank you enough. The response from friends and family has been amazing. I've enjoyed the shock value enormously — the second looks by people are great. My own children's responses were proof enough that the change was enormous — and right. My oldest son noticed my blue eyes from 20 feet away. My own husband didn't recognize me. It's been so much fun! Thank you so much!”
