Thank you for asking. I do have caring people in my life. Lots of support. Unfortunately it is not from my family. I pray for that part of my family that abandoned me, and I forgive them. My daughter was in special ed. her husband took a dislike of me, and prevented me from every seeing her or my grandson. He is a contol person, who allowed no communication. I was bitter for a long time. I had to give it to God to solve, because I could not. My health has been doing OK. Pain is kept in check, and I have some very good physicians in my corner. My doctors do know about my family sitution and are very compassionate. I now have to take this part of my family to court over a messy trust. It will be a difficult year, but again God has blessed me with a pro-Bono lawyer. I wait to hear from this attorney now. I find it hard to be patient. Life really can be hard Eva, so I come here to give and recieve those good prayers and thoughts. You know I will be with you too on your surgery date. When I hear of others troubles, it puts my own trouble into perspective. I have much to be grateful for. So many of us face things that are difficult. I am glad we have each other on this site to help us along. Have a good day Eva, I have that prayer list written down! ginnie
