For those of you new to my humble little blog, Duke is one of my best friends. We live and work in the same city. He is a member of our support 'group.' When I say I know him....I do on a personal level. We have much in common - military careers, personal likes and dislikes, our mindsets on the country and world events.
When he suffers, I and all our friends suffer with him. I take this very personal. 'Nuff said.
It is, sadly, time for me to open the doors and begin my day. It is beautiful outside and I must remember to thank the Good Lord for all my (and your) blessings. I thank each of you from the bottom of my heart for the outpouring of kind wishes and prayers for my friend. Again, he is fine...and on his behalf, until he can personally do so, I thank you again.
I often write my 'thanks & welcomes' to new followers with the line - 'You Are Now Among Friends.'
How very true...
Stephen
Thanks Stephen for the update and kind words.

ReplyDeleteExcellent words.
Rob, you're welcome...my friend.
ReplyDeleteNorth, and to you, my friend,thank you very much...
If you talk to Duke, tell him he is in our prayers. As all of you here are in our prayers also.
ReplyDeleteOur prayers continue for Duke and his family ... and his extended family down there.
ReplyDeleteI hope all is well with him. I'm slipping and sliding in my work truck here in 6 inches of snow, worrying more about him than that fence I'm about to hit.
ReplyDeleteI hope all is well with his family.
Stephen, dear friend, thank you for the update. we have both been over to Duke's blog and left our healing prayers for both his Mother in Law and Duke. this must be a horrible time for him - but i am glad that he has a "true" friend in you.
ReplyDeletebut this group of friends from all over the place that congregate at each other's blogs - we are here for you and for Duke. i love this crazy group of misfits - especially Mudbug!
and i wouldn't have found any of them if it wasn't for you.
please personally tell Duke how much we all care. and that we are all here for him. and please let us know if there is anything that we can do.
your friend,
kymber
kymber, I'll let him know, he was just in my office. Thank you for kind words.
ReplyDeleteA True friend is a rare find these days. I am glad Duke has a friend in you Stephen to be beside him through the rough spots.
ReplyDeleteMamma Bear, Thank you. I take friendship very seriously. You are correct, true friends are rare these days.
ReplyDeleteFlier389, Rev. Paul, Mudbug, for some reason I overlooked your comments this morning. I must have been busy with business...I'm very sorry. To each, I did get a chance to speak to Duke when he came into my office this morning, and I did pass along your prayers and comments. Thank you all very much. You too, kymber.
ReplyDeleteIn My Prayers..
ReplyDeleteAnon, thank you on behalf of Duke.
