Hi sweetheart.  Too true we have such a bond
 though not often in touch as we used to be.
 Said prayers about your family and hope
 your daughter had a wonderful birthday.
  
 Honey I hope you dont mind me mentioning
 this publically, email is a problem at the
 moment but can still receive yours;  I know
 you are a bit down or very down about all
 this MSN moving groups nonsense.   After
 battling all these years and thinking about
 closing down CCS but battling on, I think
 our group is good for you personally as
 well as all the GOOD you do for others.
 Honey talking to Trisha, she hopes to
 be able to help you with any transfers
 or anything to another site as much as
 she can;  her health is not that great
 but she wants to help, doesnt like you
 being depressed or distressed, so she
 will try her best.
  
 For my own site (Poetry) we are looking
 into yuku.com and something like freewebs.com.
 Might bear looking at if you are interested.
 You know RTB?  And you know how mammoth
 that is with over 3000 posts per week and all
 the boards well Brenda is at freewebs;  I did not
 understand her last email but seems she WILL
 move to Multiply;  dont understand that the feedback
 I am getting is that it is mostly blog type like MySpace
 and maybe no graphics?  
  
 Anyway sorry I have been even more absent than
 usual;  went through a bit of serious depression but
 am fine from that just now;  still have the aversion
 to the computer, dont understand that though would
 be lost without it and my pc is on its last legs;  dont
 have money to repair but prayerfully it will last out
 a good while longer.  Honey but mostly am dealing
 with imminent inevitable death in the family so am
 not even in my own home a lot, just got back home
 Tues. there and am anxiously awaiting phone call
 that I have to rush up to Glasgow to be with Avril,
 my brother's wife, whose family it is;  her Uncle
 Harry who is her Auntie Margaret's only sibling
 left is on the point of death;  though he rallied
 round a bit so I was able to come home but I
 am quite strong again and will be there for Avril;
 Auntie Margaret is the mother hen who looks
 after all the family, running them to dr's and hospital
 apts. etc. bringing home made soup and visiting.
 Avril was the same but obviously is not up to it
 after we nearly lost her last year.  Also Harry's
 daughter Sadie, a young woman in her late
 30's with a young family and devoted husband
 , they both just lost her mother last year as
 well as Auntie Margaret losing a beloved young
 daughter in law to an agonizing death just a few
 months ago, As I say it is just a matter of time
 for Uncle Harry.  Well Sadie has had aggressive
 cancer on top of everything else;  she just got
 another MRI scan today so will be a couple of
 weeks before results.  So we, including me,
 are all waiting by the phone, an awful situation.
 I ask for prayer involved, sorry it is not on prayer
 board, so busy, not so much for me except
 Christ to strengthen me;  it is either the cancer
 back for Sadie or a life threatening infection;
 she got her both breasts removed then reconstructed
 then infection or cancer returned and she got 
 reconstruction removed.
  
 Well I am still here for you sweetheart but might
 be out of touch for a while, sorry but I am here
 just now (Thurs 6th).  I love you and try not to
 get down.  God bless you and yours and God
 bless America.
  
 Mary xoxo
