Prayers please, for Monica

I hope you won't mind a prayer request for my girlfriend Monica. I've enjoyed FreeRepublic almost from the beginning and joined in 1998. All along FreeRepublic gave us many hours of pleasure and I read many, many FReeper threads to Monica.

When big things happened we were always up on all the nuances and details, thanks to FR.

We were among the crowd for the March for Justice in 1998 and we had a great time meeting so many nice FReepers. We still have the Cspan tape of the event.

She's the nicest person you could ever meet. And we shared a love for watching the political dramas unfold. We were both greatly looking forward to the next election season. I have radios for her in the bedroom, living room, near the washing machine downstairs, in the kitchen, even the bathroom so she wouldn't miss a word from the shows she loves. We complimented each other well, and I've loved being here for her.

Yesterday Monica suffered a stroke and a brain hemmorage and the prognosis is very poor. There is not much we can do but pray for her and it's an amazing thing to realize how much she meant to me. The depth of pain is more than I ever knew, and this is very hard. We've been together for 15 fun years and I always thought we had so much more time. She's only 53.

We never fought, we knew each other so well, and she put up with me. It's a wonderful thing to feel loved, and from her there was no doubt. Somebody loves me, nothing in the world can beat that.

I'm hoping some FReepers will say a prayer and wish her well. She shared my enthusiasm for Free Republic and you guys gave us much to be hopeful for and I know this election season and everything else will not be as much fun without her to share it with.

Read this to her now, over and over again.It will be the best medicine for her. We wish you both well. Chin up.

[freemama]

Stay by her. Keep talking to her. You don't know how much is getting in. We were pleasantly surprised by one of my relatives years ago. She appeared completely unconscience from a stroke, but she remembered hearing us talk to her. Pray with her too. Often.

Best wishes to both of you.

[William McKinley]

Done. I'll throw in one or two for you as well. Be strong.

[mafree]

I pray that Monica recovers and is back to normal soon. You stay strong.
