I have put in a support ticket for those who report they do not see reply buttons. I notice replies to comments, however, from Tina and Robert so please let me know at zacapublishing @ gmail.com… if you do not see reply buttons on the blog? Let me know what browser you are using? If I am not as attentive to the blog in the days ahead it is because of my brother Bob's hospitalization with advanced cancer. Please keep him in your prayers, and send us positive thoughts!

Hi David;
I am so sorry to hear your news, which is most devastating! I most certainly keep you and your brother in my prayers and hope from the bottom of my heart that he will hear me. I wish your brother all the very best and that god fulfills a miracle, which do happen and I sincerely hope he will.
In situations like these all words become rather inadequate as one only can feel for the person and is so helpless in doing something about it – other than pray and that I will.
Love and warm hugs,
Tina

I am so sorry to hear this, Maria! There is no hope for Bob now and hospice is involved. We don't know how many days or weeks are left but we do know he can go home and see the birds in the wraparound yards and his kites flying on the special posts he built with his own hands. He will see the surrounding mountains and the full wide blue sky and spend some time with his many friends and of course his loving family. My heart goes out to you, especially, Maria. You know what we are facing, and I hope you are well and somehow at peace if not now, then in the months and years ahead. Bless your heart and all of your family!
Thank you all for your concern and well wishes. You are my extended family and I share this terrible news with you because of that… sometimes it is a distraction to work on the blog and so I do yet the worst is yet to come for our family and I may not be here or in any shape to be here and so offer my apologies if you need me and I seem to have abandoned you.
I would assign a co-admin but frankly the way the blogware works took me a great deal of time to learn and I have no time to teach its tricks and quirks to anybody.
Hopefully, I will be able to keep up.
Much love to all of you…

Oh David, I fail to find the right words. God may give you and your family the strength you need now.

David, very sorry to learn this news of your brother. Having hospice help, to me, seems comforting because only loving and helpful people are involved and will guide you and your family through this difficult time. To be home in familiar surroundings with your family and friends near v. a cold, stark hospital room–we should all hope for this when our time comes. You certainly will be in my thoughts and prayers in the coming days and hopefully at the right moment it will give you added strength to do whatever needs doing just to know so many are thinking of you and your family.

Hi Maria;
I am so sorry to hear that you lost two brothers in such a short time from each other, which must have been heart wrenching. My deepest feelings go out to you as I can well understand and sympathize very deeply with you as I have lost my only brother to this horrible disease too. We only can hope that one day the medical profession will find a way to cure cancer permanently.
Warm regards,
Tina
