I am writing this simply to say thank you to all those who lent in their prayers and thoughts for my family after my last blog concerning the health of my step-father. It's good to know that there are people out there who truely care for the well being of strangers! I love you all so much!

To pass on the good news, my step-father has been home for a about a week and is doing much better! He did lose thirty pounds in his down time but my mom is back to fattening him up. He is now smoke free and the booze ain't on the menu either. While it will be a little bit until he is back to his normal self, he is fairing much better than he was a week ago. Even his primary physician didn't think he was going to make it. Everyone's stress levels, including my mothers' has gone down considerably. While Rick won't be going hunting this year, our prayers have been answered and he will be with us for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thank you Jesus!

Once again, thank you everybody for your thoughts and prayers, even to those who didn't respond, because even I don't respond to these kinds of things all the time, my thoughts are always there!

God bless you all, May the Force be with you all and everbody have a Happy Thanksgiving!(even those over seas)
