Susanna will be okay

Thanks to all who offered prayers and kind thoughts in Susanna's behalf. I just talked with my sister Jean in Moses Lake and she tells me that Susanna will be home today, with a pacemaker implanted to regulate her too-slow heart beat. That's such good news!

Jean has been doing grandma duty with Abigail and Keith and the two dogs and she is about worn out, having worried lots and slept little, aggravated by boisterous dogs and anxious kids. So she needs our thoughts and prayers too. We have become very close in the past few years; once I gave her a pillow with a slogan: you'll always be my best friend; you know too much! And, though we squabbled a lot growing up and are very different as adults, she is my closest friend.

I know she would come to be with me in a crisis and I would go to be with her in a flash, if she needed me.

It is good that all is turning out well, and with no more than bearable strain on the family.
I envy you the extended family relations, since I lack them at this point in life, except for children.

Thanks, LF, and I am grateful for the chance to live closer to my family. When I lived in Denver, I was too far away from them.
