GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND

JUST WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL OF YOUR PRAYERS.

MOM HAD TO GO BACK TO THE HOSPITAL AGAIN TODAY TO

HAVE FLUID REMOVED FROM HER LUNG FOR THE SECOND TIME.

THEY REMOVED JUST ALMOST A LITER OF FLUID THIS

TIME A "DEEP DARK BLACKISH RED" FLUID FROM HER

LEFT LUNG...SHE DIDN'T HAVE THE TROUBLE THIS TIME

THAT SHE DID THE LAST TIME THANKFULLY! AND IS BACK AT HOME.

SHE'LL BE SORE A COUPLE OF DAYS AND MUCH BETTER THAN

SHE WAS BEFORE THIS MORNING! LAST TIME SHE BREATHED

EASIER FOR APROX 3 WEEKS BEFORE THIS FLUID STARTED

WEIGHING ON HER BREATHING... SO WE ARE HOPEFUL.

THANK YOU GOD.

AND THANKS FRIENDS FOR YOUR CONTINUED PRAYERS.

I'm So Forgetful! The woman looked a little worried when the doctor

came in to administer her annual physical, so the first thing the

doctor did was to ask whether anything was troubling her."Well,

to tell the truth, Doc, yes," answered the patient. "You see, I seem to

be getting forgetful. No, it's actually worse than that. I'm never sure

I can remember where I put the car, or whether I answered

a letter, or where I'm going, or what it is I'm going to do once

I get there -- if I get there. So, I really need your help.

What can I do?"The doctor mused for a moment, then answered in

his kindest tones, "Pay me in advance."

PS. this is not my mothers picture, nor her doctors : )

I just thought it to be very fitting for the above little joke.

She is a cute older lady though, don't you think so?

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old

is when we are kids? If you're less than ten years old, you're so excited

about aging that you think in fractions.

"How old are you?" "I'm four and a half."
You're never 36 and a half . . . you're four and a half going on 5

You get into your teens. Now, they can't hold you back.

You jump to the next number. "How old are you?"

You could be 12, but you're gonna be 16. Eventually.

Then, the great day of your life . . . you become 21. Even the words

sound like a ceremony. You BECOME 21 . . . Yes!
"I'm gonna be 16."

You could be 12, but you're gonna be 16. Eventually.

Then, the great day of your life . . . you become 21.

Even the words sound like a ceremony. You BECOME 21 . . . Yes!
Then, you turn 30. What happened there? Makes you sound like bad

milk which needs to be thrown out. He TURNED. What's wrong?

What changed? You BECOME 21; you TURN 30.

Then, you're PUSHING 40.
You REACH 50 and, then, you MAKE IT to 60.

By then, you've built up so much speed, you HIT 70.

After that, it's a day-by-day thing. You HIT Wednesday . . .

You get into your 80's; you HIT lunch, you HIT 4:30. My Grandmother

won't even buy green bananas. "Well, it's an investment, you know,

and maybe a bad one." And it doesn't end there.

Into the 90's, you start going backwards.
"I was JUST 92."
Then a strange thing happens; if you make it over 100,

you become a little kid again.
"I'm 100 and a half."

Happy aging! And remember . . . growing old is only mind over matter

- if you don't mind . . . it doesn't matter.
