Of course, this isn't just in India. When my job ended three years ago, millions of dollars were made to San Francisco's Department of Public Health and this affected mainly services to the poor, to children and the elderly. It is so outrageous..and, at 67, I am in the ranks of the senior citizen. <br /><br />I am just glad I got to make this trip to India...in fact, if I could, I'd come here six months out of the year. People are so good to me. It is so different fro the US..which, of course, will always be home but I can truly appreciate the differences between our two countries.RNSANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841873957894861725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-7517588908025821642012-02-14T10:44:50.052+00:002012-02-14T10:44:50.052+00:00Oh Maggie.

It sounds like you both are constantly fire-fighting at the moment, which must be totally draining and exhausting. I am so glad you have lovely friends around you - little acts of kindness mean so much. Am wishing happy days for you both. And do use the blog to rant, to share - I've always found the blogging world to be hugely supportive, and it might help / be a comfort to you to know you're in people's thoughts. xJaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-88468131509865004202012-02-14T09:05:06.068+00:002012-02-14T09:05:06.068+00:00So sorry to hear this news, Maggie.

I know how it feels to hear discouraging news although I can't know "how you feel." Prayers and love and support to you dear soul, and Harry.

An act of kindness together with yours and Harry's health issues scream how up and down life really is.<br /><br />I know what you mean about not knowing what to write - I have a lot of days like that, too. There are things I'd love to write about but it's hard to open up. Sometimes, if we talk about something openly that hurts us, it makes it too real to accept, if you know what I mean. <br /><br />I'm sending my heartfelt wishes that everything will be okay.<br />CJ xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-85319237621058700722012-02-10T00:49:31.193+00:002012-02-10T00:49:31.193+00:00I think you should rant and rave whenever you feel...I think you should rant and rave whenever you feel like it.

People who love our pets are 'keepers' aren't they! :))<br />Having a friend who will listen is invaluable, Maggie. I am so thankful that you have friends such as these.<br />Surviving. Sigh...<br />It seems to be a day by day thing the older I get. I'm thinking of my parents...and thinking about our lives revolving around getting from one hospital visit to the next. I feel that too, my friend. Daddy fell and broke his rib(s) on Monday. I took him to get an x-ray. We are waiting on the results. We go back on Monday for a follow-up0 visit to the doctor. Mama continues to hold her own, but seems so frail to me. In the midst of this frailness and these doctor/hospital visits, I do relish and hold onto the smiles and sunshine that I receive from my friends. I am thankful that you and Harry have friends nearby that will continue to minister to you both. I'm so sorry to hear about Harry's news regarding his health. I am going to try and get a card in the mail to both of you this week. I have been wanting to do that. I send you lots of hugs, Maggie. Lots.<br />Love you much,<br />JackieJackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214796594702277709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-62600420515282612282012-02-09T19:13:48.424+00:002012-02-09T19:13:48.424+00:00Oh I'm so sorry to hear Harry's news.
