I know from my own recent broken wrist how incapacitating it is to lose even partial use of hand and arm, let alone more.Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041834369094012241.post-54493408178998917462015-02-16T07:11:05.654-07:002015-02-16T07:11:05.654-07:00Catching up with your blog today.

I also envy your facility with talking about your family – it is so hard for me. I cannot write on my blog, for example, that I have been taking my husband to so many doctor visits lately, about 3 to 4 a week, that his bladder cancer is back and he is having surgery in a few weeks and I can’t even think about talking on my blog about his Alzheimer. I can write it as a comment on your blog but just cannot do it on my blog, so I wish I had your ability to write so beautifully about your children and family. Your poem is so loving. Thank you for sharing, I sincerely mean it. Take care, VBVagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041834369094012241.post-48718048414653539992015-02-04T01:54:15.374-07:002015-02-04T01:54:15.374-07:00Very sweet post and Happy Birthday to Jon and I am...Very sweet post and Happy Birthday to Jon and I am praying that his surgery goes well.<br />I have been AWOL from blogging a lot and so I missed reading about Jon's accident.
