I really appreciate it, thank you.
Thank you so much 😇
Thank you much!
I really appreciate this Mary. I am glad to see you here still. I haven't come across your username for a while & have been wondering how you & a few others have been doing. Granted I have been focused on some other projects recently & haven't been reading as many posted & replies as I have in the past.
Thank you for your prayers 🤗
Thank you so much for this.
Thank you for this. I have never heard a prayer quite like this & I love it!
Thank you for this.
He certainly tries his best to make good memories with grandkids & to show his love through, sometimes poorly thought out, actions. His heart is in the right place & he has been incredibly helpful often.
I am so grateful that he gave us such an amazing example of putting family first & that things can always be replaced. He gave up almost his entire inheritance when a couple of my uncles needed extra funds to help with recovery & medical bills for my cousins. There was zero fighting among my father's siblings outside of who could give their portions of inheritance away fastest to help family. All middle class, but all class acts as a family. I hear about how inheritance has torn apart friends familial relationships & it is just such a foreign concept to me.
My parents did well.
edit - LOL anon gender roles can be confusing without faces. My wife makes me sew because I only had brothers & my mother was determined to teach me life skills to pass on to my future daughters (cooking, sewing, art basics, etc...) I still laugh when someone realizes that I am the one who helps sew costumes instead of my wife. She couldn't make a bobbin thread correctly if he life depended on it. Her mother on the other hand does great upholstery work LOL
I like to think so, thank you very much!
Thank you for this & it really is all in God's hands.
Thanks ditzee!
I appreciate this.
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much! He was stable late last night & we were just waiting to see how he is doing this morning (my wife should be there soon & works at the hospital too).
He was on antibiotics & had some diuretic added to his I when I left to get home & rest.
It ended up being a gal bladder issue once the contrast CT scan came back. That combined with congestive heart failure (ie water/fluid around the heart) & fluid in his lungs all just ended up giving him a very hard time moving & responding.
I have found that dandelion (IIRC) can help with water retention. On a side note, the dandelion root seemed to help ADD/ADHD symptoms too, so it is something I should probably throw into my salads & cultivate to my neighbors dismay LOL
Would love more info if you have some available & appreciate your help.
Will do. He was stable when I left last night (my wife is in that hospital every day & by God's grace didn't end up being forced to take the shot). Just waiting to see if the infection decreases & then will decide how to go about some gal stones.
Thank you so much for this.
Thank you. I have hope he will heal everything. He taught me to question every single thing in this world. I guess he never thought that meant his judgment LOL
Covid tested the love of our family briefly (he was the only one that got caught up in the fear porn for a short time). Ultimately he started to question everything & realized he had been lied to. Of course it was because he had seen something about Covid being destroyed by 30 seconds of sunlight on the news. At least he got there faster than most who were sucked into the narrative. Unfortunately that was after he had a single Covid shot & had convinced my mom (stopped taking flu shots for a couple decades) to take one too.
I was adamant that my family would not take it at all & my siblings all refused the shots too. My dad blamed me. I am just glad the lessons he taught me in my youth stuck.
He has always pulled me though & I am so grateful my parents instilled a deep love of our Savior, Jesus Christ, into every single one our our hearts.
Thank you!
I really appreciate your prayer.
I really appreciate this. McCoy was one of his favorite characters.

I appreciate it. I still get a kick every time I see your name. It was my first & still is my favorite class to play. My met my wife while she was playing a dwarf & she was always angry in character (along with two other dwarves) that most of the time my character could de-escalate the combat before they got a good swing in. My traditional team & DM were not sure how to handle the one I played who smote first & asked questions of survivors if any. That DM was also never satisfied with how "little" power player had & always preferred story over strictness of rules.
To give you a taste of their mindset, the last stats he had us all roll were 4d6, drop the lowest two and add 6 to the total. When I rolled up four 18s, a 17 & a 16 he laughed & said this campaign was going to brokenly fun. Never did I think I would put an 18 into a Paladin intelligence. It was a crazy campaign to put it mildly.
