Hi, Harry! This is good news… Hard, but good. I’ve been getting used to a new diet plan and have had 4 procedures to clear blood flow in my left leg. Not started on my right yet. It’s painful and frustrating, but i more thankful to be alive than ever before. You are truly blessed w/that big family! Blessings of strength 4 U! xo sally

Harry, you certainly have my best wishes during these trying times. Here's hoping that if you can't get completely "out of those woods", at least that you will feel a lot better very soon. And "new lifestyles" can be kind of interesting, don't ya think?

Harry, thank you for letting us know you are okay. Yes, you will have to adjust to a new lifestyle, probably diet, meds, and light exercise. (I actually had a heart attack in 2017 and I am fully recovered) I can tell you have the will. And I will continue my prayers and candle lighting, I believe in the power of prayers, blessings for 2023, Constance

Dear Harry wishing you a healing prayer. God can change any health situation. I know what it is like to have something health wise go wrong. It changes your life. It , life becomes more challenging and the limitations you once did not have, you have now. Our health is a constant reminder to us everyday of our condition causing us more work to exist. We wish we could have back what we lost. Somedays are a struggle. You can't do the same things you used to do. I am dealing with my issues also my friend. I pray everyday for myself and for others that are ill and need healing. I will continue to pray for you Harry. You have always been a friend to me.

Harry I will never forget when I wrote a Poem about my daughter and your comment about a song described what I was going through. You share that with me and lifted my Spirits up. I looked up the song and played it. Your sharing of information and consoling spirit brought me peace and appreciation. I hope that I can return the gracious favor you shared with me. Wishing you comfort my friend,, good spirits, and knowledge that Jesus knows your every need and will be there for you. Your friends here will also be a Soupmail away. God watch over you and heal you completely my friend.
