I've missed my friend Gemini while she was gone for a while and have been praying for her health and swift recovery and return.

Now she has returned and my heart is much lighter. True I have not known her long and only as someone else on this support board. But she is a special member here and was missed.

I still have the flu and Dad is still in the hospital. But Dad is getting better and stronger and the flu will run its course.

...and the cherry trees here will soon bloom and nearly bury the tulips, daffodils, crocuses, hyacinths and other bulb plants in blankets of their pink snow.

grey clouds hanging wet
do not outshine spring flowers
joy is in the world
