Just cant catch a break,.. I am kindly asking for prayers for my family. I have my Aunt Grandma in the hospital in grave conditions, my Great Grandmother having hurt herself badly from a fall, and my almost four year old Godson being poked and tested a hundred times to figure what is wrong with him. Not being near my little man and knowing nothing I can do will make him better, just doesnt sit well with me. I apologize to all for the absence. Thank you all for your friendship. It may be a while before I can settle myself to become a regular member again.

I always think of melodrama as the thing we are all capable of that's swept under the rug. Sidney Lumet
Thank you all so much. On my way back to Mexico yet again. The news this morning is my Aunt Grandma has passed away at 94yrs old. I don't know how it's said in English, may just be "aunt," but she's actually more in the generation as a Great-Grandma. Anyway, thought I'd share the news since I have not sat down to send emails out to friends. On the other hand, my Godson is doing better. After having some incompetent doctor scare his mother with news of it being cysts or tumors, finally were able to get him seen by the director of the children's hospital, he is fine. Something he ate caused blockage in his intestine. I'm almost sure he ate a pack of gum. That was kind of gross, sorry! My Great-Grandmother is doing better after her prosthetic surgery, with all that titanium in her, I'm sure she's better built then myself by now!
Thank you.

Sorry to hear of your loss. 94 is a full life, and I'm sure your memories will carry you through until we all meet up again.
As far as rain, I'm sure you don't get a lot, but we have been quite dry around here. Yesterday, we finally got a decent shower. It didn't last long, and it was muggy when the sun came back out.

The government has forgotton what George Washington stated long ago. When you start taking prayer and the Bible away from schools and courts and public places. This is where we are today. Sorry if I have offended anyone, this is my oponion.
