i want everyone to know that i am doing ok and i love you all. it has been a rough several months, but god is good and i am making it. I have two aides that are doing their best to take care of me, even when i give them a hard time. they are very patient with me, which is good. please don't take it personal, but i don't like talking on the phone these days. my memory is not so good and i am having trouble remembering everyone. for that reason, i stay away from talking on the phone. do know that i love you all the same. god is good and i am praying that he allows me to see my 86th birthday and many more.
