LAUGH! at anything and every thing! read "heaven help us" by herbert tarr and his "the conversion of chaplin cohen", probably not in print, but you might be able to find them on=line. if you can read any six pages without laugh out loud, you need a quick injection of the giggles! i'm serious! you both make sure you FIND something to laugh about AT LEAST TWICE a day!!! the blacker the mood, the harder you have to search! do not read and watch the news. pick one or the other. too much news is just too depressing! o, and accept all the love you can give one another and from all that want to give it to you both! and all the help others want to give...just like others gave it to you! DO NOT APOLOGIZE FOR BEING...just feel the love and say thank you like the gentleman your momma taught you to be. aunt shirley, when he is being a prickly pear, tell him "sandy said quit being a pain in the bu-tox" (the last was my great aunt's pronuncation)! uncle jan, if you need a good moan and you think you fair lady has had enough, i an a good listener/reader! ;-}<BR/><BR/>sandy (puddle duck)HODGEPODGESPVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09927824273405396938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632660835713268319.post-50353206632207926582008-07-11T22:05:00.000-04:002008-07-11T22:05:00.000-04:00Loving thoughts and prayers sent your family's way...Loving thoughts and prayers sent your family's way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632660835713268319.post-76933775514525171252008-07-11T17:43:00.000-04:002008-07-11T17:43:00.000-04:00I was touched by your story and happily am donatin...I was touched by your story and happily am donating.
