Tracy, Strange that you should mention how well Donald is doing. I was thinking about him the other day and wondering how he was doing. You responded before I could ask the question. Apparently my telepathy is still working.......... <smile> I certainly will add my prayers to those of the rest of the list for Doug and Caleb - especially Caleb. I hope someone reaches out to him and gives him a very large, very long bear hug. He is going to have a tough row to hoe if his father doesn't come through this surgery; and he will need someone to just love him so he can rid himself of the anger and angst. I was only a couple of years older than he when I lost my father, so I can empathize. It takes a long time to get over it. Poor baby!!

All of the prayers for my dad brought him back from the brink ( I literally mean he was minutes, if not seconds, away from meeting the Lord) and home again. Did an excellent job for my mom and a friend, Donald too!! They say Donald looks just like before and if you did not know he had had an accident you'd never know.   This is the greatest list and I thank Vee for starting it and Rick B for continuing it.   tracy --- On Wed, 12/16/09, Linda wrote: Hi Tracy,  if you need prayers, you've come to the right place.  The people on this list are the best.  You have my prayers.

I recently met Doug and Caleb but for some reason they have touched my heart. I told them both if they need anything and I can help I will, or if they just needed an ear to bend to call.   We're happy to hear Doug can have the surgery. They were afraid it might have been too late to do more than make him comfortable and pass the short time.   I'm praying extra hard and will keep the list informed. Thanks!   tracy --- On Wed, 12/16/09, marysaerie wrote: Tracy, Strange that you should mention how well Donald is doing.  I was thinking about him the other day and wondering how he was doing.
