Wow who'd a thunk that a group such as this with
members all over the country would be so close to each
other. Wouldn't it be cool if we could all meet at
once somewhere. Seriously though I feel for ya Rick. I
am very thankful for my health, but still feel for
other people and what they go through. I am no prayer
warrior, but will pray for you when I do pray.
