I’m With You
Hi there, are you doing okay with doc's orders? Perhaps the doggies are keeping you company and lying there alongside giving you some fuzzy therapy. It might be difficult to get on the computer if you're not allowed to be in a sitting position. I pray the Lord will give you strength during this difficult time.
