I guess we should have let Y'all know about all this stuff going on before but we didn't want to pile more junk on Y'all.

Oh my my my,

Number One, We're all here for EACH OTHER Bob. I whine when stuff is bad - for ME. It's as though Someone gets thru to me to whine cuz when I do, none of you complain and you all offer me prayers - I can use all the prayers available when stuff isn't good.

Don't keep all this inside of you, I, for one, offer you and Mom all the prayers in the world to be healthy and happy. And I do it on a regular basis whether I hear from you on this loop or not. But when you need extra prayers, please dear Bob, let us know. I want to "kick it up a notch"!

Secondly, now that I'm done preaching. Bob, please get well very soon - to the both of you. My boss recently had shingles and he never missed a full day because they caught it relatively early. Granted he looked a bit beat while at work, but he made it in. So hopefully they caught Mom's early and she'll come thru this with flying colors.

And for you - be well my friend. You are both in my prayers!~kicked up a notch.
