Situation -- Not Good -- Encouragement Needed
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, December 16, 2003 9:45 AM
I just received an instant message from Jim T. (BNSFSKLINE). His girlfriend is in Barnes-Jewish Hospital after an 8 hour surgery. She has cancer and has had more than one surgery for it. Jim is 19 and she is 17 and needless to say they both are scared. Any encouragement you can offer them would be greately appreciated. Your thought and prayers are needed at this time for them.

To all who have responded so far, I say thank you. [:)]

I have received emails from people who did not make a post but have emailed Jim. Again, thank you all too.

When it comes to a bad situation there can never be enough encouragement or get well wishes. So please keep the posts, emails, thoughts and prayer coming.

If you have not made a post or sent an email, please do. These do mean so much to those who receive them. Thank you all for your care and concern for this young couple.

"Dear Jim,

I sincerely wish you and your girlfriend all the best. Tell her not to give up, give her all your love and smiles and tenderness that you can. Worrying is no good, but a smile can make your day, and that's a great thing. She will get well.

Best regards from Oliver in Zagreb, Croatia."

This is what I sent to Jim and his girlfriend, and I would just like to add that some friends of mine have named me Little Buddha, so I know what I'm talkin 'bout.

Stay safe,
Oliver.

Just received a short update on Jim's girlfriend. She was having some panic attacks and is in alot of pain. [:(] Not much more to pass on other than that.


Jim can also be emailed at . . . bnsfkline@Yahoo.com

I had several people tell me that they had problems getting an email through at that addy but it should work. This is the one I have logged into my email address book.

Please continue the well wishes and prayers for them. Like I said before, there can never be enough of them.
