To all my followers and fellow bloggers

I will not be able to comment or read your blogs for awhile and will not be posting either. Some family affairs to attend to. I am sorry.

    • Thank you, Gigi. Give my love to the chicklets! And say a prayer. I think I told you my husband was having hernia surgery. This worry, anxiety thing I don’t like about my Italian heritage. But you say you’re not like that. I admire you. Take care of your arm. Ellen

  4. I will pray every day for both of you, dear Helen. May God and Luck embrace you all these days of the surgery which is quite serious but temporary and will go on quickly and the patient gets back easily and smoothly. Be patient and calm as always and we’ll wait for you right here. My mind and heart is with you and your dearest husband. Best wishes and thoughts. Anastasia.

  5. No, don’t be afraid of anything at all, think positive, have faith to yourself and to your love for so many years, and also have faith to the today’s science which is incredible productive. My thinking is with you, God be with you two. ๐Ÿ™‚

      • Oh, El, I’m so sorry! Waiting longer is such a challenge, for both you and Thomas. Praying they’ll get an understanding from the EKG so they can move forward soon. We’re ok on this end–I just have 14 extra young people staying here! But know I’m praying for you, my friend. For you and Thomas to have hope in all this waiting. “I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in Him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13. Praying for that hope for both of you.

  8. Isaiah 43:1-3 โ€“ Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you I have called you by name you are mine. When you go through deep waters and great trouble I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression you will not be burned up the flames will not consume you. For I am the LORD your God The Holy One of Israel, your Saviour.โ€

  9. Nothing to ever be sorry aboutโ€ฆ fuck being sorry. Take care of yourself, handle whatever life has thrown at you. We will literally be here and canโ€™t wait to see what you post when you return! Stay safe and be well, drink plenty of water and laugh even if you canโ€™t see whatโ€™s funny- laugh about how ridiculous it is that you canโ€™t and itโ€™ll show up.

      • Oh Dayle, you have been so great!! Thank you so much for all the prayers!!! Tom is feeling better today, so far. Yes, a place of hope. He had a more serious problem than they first thought. But it wasn’t like having heart surgery. You and I haven’t known each other long but I felt you were close. Love you, too. El
