Oh Britta! It's so wonderful to see you! I've missed you. So glad to hear that your dear mom is doing so much better. So sorry to hear that you have been in such pain. I hope you will continue to heal and feel better too. Please continue to take good care. Welcome back, my friend!

[heyitslori]

Yay Britta! I am SO excited to see you!! You were very much missed! I am so happy to hear your mom is doing well and I hope that your back pain continues to improve. Thank you for coming back to YouTube. Your videos are always a real treat. ❤

Liebe Britta, ich freue mich wirklich sehr, dass du wieder hierher zurückgekehrt bist und dass es deiner Mutter, altersentsprechend, jetzt gut geht, sie wieder alleine zuhause sein kann. Keine Selbstverständlichkeit.
Auch dir weiterhin alles, alles Gute auf dem Weg zur vollständigen Genesung.
( Zwei Bücher vom heutigen Video habe ich mir schon für die Wunschliste notiert.)
Herzliche Grüße
Anna Katharina

Very happy to see again and pleased to hear that your mother has recovered from her injury.

[MsReadsAlot]

Yay! So happy you are back! Aww. You are great! No issues at all with the Book Club! I am glad you took the time you and your mom needed.

[bookreview]

And there I was just thinking the other day "I haven't seen you in my inbox in a while, did YouTbe unsub me?"
Glad to hear your mom and you are better again.

[Dreamingofthedesert]

So glad I can look forward to your Sunday videos again!

Hello! Britta so glad you're back. I'm happy to hear that your mother is well. I hope you will feel better. I suffer from chronic back pain to due to old injuries and from being a caregiver to my parents. Take good care of yourself first. The book community will always be here.

[michellemorrill]

So happy to see your face back on BT! And even happier that things are better for you and your dear mother! We missed you! Welcome back! 🤗🤗🤗

I clicked on this so quickly that I broke a land speed record. It’s wonderful to hear that your mum’s doing well and that pain meds help (a bit) with your back pain.

[barbaraboethling]

Happy dance, happy dance (insert joyous sigh of relief here!!). I'm thrilled you're back. I missed you so much. My sympathy to you for your back pain issues. I've lived with a fractious back for forty years now. At its worst, I wouldn't wish that pain on my worst enemy. I figured you had had problems with your mom, so I'm happy things turned out so well.! Take things easy. You must not hurry a back issue.💕💕

[Notizhefte]

Hello Britta, it is so good to see you again and to hear what happened. All the best for you and your mother! Take the time for recovering and be relaxed with numbers. Best wishes, Norman

[shelleycharles]

Hello Britta! Glad to see you're back and on the mend.

[josmith]

Hurrah! Great to see you Britta and hear there is some progress on the back healing 👍 I think Alexis Wright has always intimidated me as an author but I’m so tempted by her books I might have to dive in!

[blueblack]

Yay you're back!
I'm glad you are well and i wish you speedy recovery from that damned back pain.

[GinaStanyerBooks]

I missed you! Sounds like a difficult time. I’m glad to hear your mom is well and your health is improving. ❤

[pjreads]

So glad you're back! Hope you feel better soon.

[sarah-wlpy]

Welcome back! What a wonderful surprise! I have thought of you often, hoping you would come back.
Hope your healing speeds up!

[emmavd]

Thank you, Britta!🌷It’s so good to see you back!!! 🥰I’m happy to hear that your mother is doing well and wish you a full recovery from your back pain.

[helenj]

Oh, it's lovely to see you back. I'm so glad you and your mum are on the mend (albeit slowly). My 83 year old mum is about to have a big operation next week so you have my sympathy. I don't want it to come but at the same time want it to be over. Take it carefully with your back.
