Prayers up.
Prayers being said for you Gefn.
Prayers lifted for our FRiend Gefn. God bless.
Note the date of this. I wrote it when I was in the hospital.

The Places
“Oh! The Places You’ll Go!” ... and now look where I’ve got!
The air is too cool, but the nurses are hot!
I’ve been poked at and sampled from spots here and there,
And orifices looked into almost everywhere.
In places where tissues were hidden from sight,
They used new technology shiny and bright.
With Magnets and Crookes’s Tubes and scanners and such,
They studied my innards. No expense was too much!
With blood samples taken for each Doc on each floor,
I decided that surely I could tell them the score.
It seemed rather safe one could make this prediction,
At some point they’d discover my anemic condition.
So how did this happen, and why am I here?
At least I am comforted — it wasn’t the beer!
It seems I’ve been prideful, and bragging too much,
Forgetting at times that my makeup is such,
That the tiniest thing in a wrong little spot,
Can remind you, like others, immune you are not!
So I’m humbled and stumbled, and felled from my perch,
And one lesson seems clear, “Pay attention in Church!”
Oh, I’ll be okay. I’m getting the point,
I’m confident soon I’ll walk out of this joint.
Much better than how I hobbled and stumbled,
As I entered my quest to be poked at and humbled.
There’s a lesson I’ve learned — more than IVs and pills,
If you’re milking Human Kindness, watch out for some spills.

Prayers up.
Yep, old age is not for sissies.
Get well soon.
OMG you know cats! xo
Prayers going up hope baby feels better!
Gefn, sweet friend, I’m praying for you, and will keep doing so.
May the Lord provide you with complete healing, and surround you with His supernatural comfort and peace. In Jesus’s name.
Catz to follow....and thanks to Slings and Tax-Chick for the pings.
Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
Que ton Nom soit sanctifié, que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du mal.
Car c’est à Toi qu’appartiennent le règne, la puissance et la gloire,
pour les siècles des siècles. Amen
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Dear Gefn, please be comforted by all those who care about you here on FR. Jesus is always with you, a fact that comforts me often.
Like you, the LOL Cats are something I enjoy very much.
It’s nice to have something to be amused by in this difficult world.
Blessings to you, Dear Heart!
Prayers sent for healing.
Get well soon, Gefn. FR needs you.
