Well let's see, first my appendix ruptured and I nearly died, then my husband was diagnosed with dementia and was put in a facility because neither I nor our daughter could care for him any longer, then I got hit by a car as I walked across the road and now I have a summer cold. I think someone powerful is trying to kill me but God won't let him.

Woke up today with sniffles and sneezes, Compounded by aches from my head to my kneeses. Called in at work 'cause I can't go like this. I'll give it to others and who needs such a gift. The pain in my head centers 'round my left eye. It hurts so much I just want to cry. It's Summer and I should be out in the sun, But I'm here in my bed not having much fun. I'm coughing and sneezing and this ain't no joke, I try to talk and mid sentence I choke. A Summer cold is the worst you'll agree. What more will become of pore pitiful me.

A wonderful yet sad write. I would like to think it is Not true and just a write. If it is true then remember Job in the bible. I think of him when I get really down. It is a great book to read. Have a blessed/great day.............

Dear Judy, may swift recuperation befall you in the near future, for I am well aware of the arduous nature of enduring a summer cold. The age-old adage that misfortune seldom comes alone seems to aptly encapsulate your current predicament. My sincerest well-wishes extend to both you and your beloved kin.
