seen his arm and leg move on their own - he is still having some pain from the fall and hitting his head - so they did a CT today - they saw some swelling - they will be watching him closely. We received some lovely cards and special angels in the mail and they are just heartwarming and I love them. Thank you each for caring enough to do something extra special for us. After Rick's surgery - he decided that he wanted to re-connect with his estranged grown children - I did the only thing that I felt that would get a response from any of them and I contacted the church where he and his ex-wife used to attend - hoping that someone from the church would know how to reach his son and daughter - I received a call and now some of the communication process is working between them each. It was wonderful to get pictures of the almost eight year old twin girls - that we had never seen, too. I did ask for the clergy to come and pray with Rick - for I know - that God is really trying to work on his soul more than on the recovery of his body - so we should see some great improvement, soon. Thank you all for your out pouring of love and support throughout this month. I do appreciate each of you - so very much. Please know - when and if I can find more time in the days to come - I will be around some more and get caught up - but for now - I just can't. Love, Shirlene

It is always good to hear from you, and we are so sorry for all that you have had to go through. We hope that Rick soon overcomes his little backset. We know that God is looking after him, and it is so touching that he has made contact with his children. We know that you have had your hands full, but please let us know what is going on, and remember our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Shirlene, dear;
This is good news to hear about the reuniting with Rick's grown children.
Will continue to keep you all in my prayers. It's amazing how God opens doors, isn't it?
Don't worry about us; we'll try to keep the questions answered and the airwaves full of good messages.
Love you,

I'm glad to hear that Rick is recovering. I hope the swelling from the fall, will improve without a problem. I think it's wonderful that Rick wants to mend the relationship between himself and his children. I will continue to pray for his recovery, and a successful relationship with his estranged children. God Bless You Both!

Shirlene, thanks for updating us as often as you can. I will and have been praying for you and Rick. God can work good out of things that seem imposible for us to understand. It is wonderful to see His hand at work. Stay strong in the Lord and take care of yourself. In His Love, Judy *4U

So glad to hear that things are going better now. I'll still be remembering you in my prayers. . I'm so happy to know that there were CUTIES who sent gifts. Can you believe that I have misplaced your address. Argh! Hopefully, I can send something later. Please take care of "you" for us. Love and Hugs, Marjorie

Shirlene, thanks for the update and I'm glad that there is a little progress and a little movement in the relation with Rick's adult children. That can help to in the process.
Don't worry about us, we will heklp eachother, the only person you have to worry about is Rick and yourself.

I keep praying for a better recovery.
It's nice to hear some good news. It looks like it's going to be a turn in his life, health and his lost family, a turn for the best.
Don't forget to look after yourself too.
