Tomorrow, somebody I know will go under the knife to remove a CANCEROUS GROWTH that could threaten her life, evidently...

There are more important things than your PRIDE... or MINE... any words exchanged that all parties involved deeply regret... There are more important things than your ambitious goals and mine... There are far more important and graver troubles than the contrarieties that we face, on a daily basis oftentimes. There are more important things than the soaring prices of gasoline and other things we can definitely do without, also...

What we cannot do without is HEALTH -
in this life...


I urge you all,
everyone who may be reading this,
to stop for a moment
and pray for Sandee S,
who will be operated on
this Tuesday the 13th
to remove that cancer.

Pray for the procedure to go well,
without a hitch.

Pray for a speedy
and complete recovery
for Sandee S.
She may have been a smoker
but she has a heart of gold
and did not deserve
to be so stricken with illness.
Cancer is a scourge.
They say 'no one deserves it'
- not even, say, a Hitler...?
Sandee is much closer to
Mother Teresa,
Thérèse de Lisieux
or Padre Cruz -
so she definitely did not
deserve such a trial.
But I would not say the same
for "no one"...
Still, I never wished this;
not even on my worst enemy.

But today,
I see this disease
threatening the life
of a dear, dear ladyfriend.
So PLEASE -
send your prayers
and "positive vibes"
to Florida...
c/o Sandee S.


Thank you.
