It's so good that you're improving dear Sandra, the thought of this site without you, even for a temporary while is most unthinkable, I'm praying your lung test will be great, well done. Such good news, praise God, Blessings Roy

Aw, Roy, thank you! You have been my friend for so many years now, and I will always treasure that. I've missed everyone, and it's been horrid not being able to write my chapters. I had so many people praying for me on FS, and it really is, Praise God, without Him in my life, I dare not think about it. Thank you, my dear friend. Love you lots. Sandra xx

Thank you, Maria, that is so kind of you. I think you hit the nail on the head with your 'The light of day after a dark age is what came to mind' that describes it perfectly. Warm hugs, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Glad to hear that you're feeling better. Sorry to hear that you had Covid. That's not good. My husband and I had it too at one time. I'm glad to hear you started your next chapter. I'll keep you in my prayers. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you, Jacqueline. I had a bad bout of Covid back in October, and it left me exposed to other viruses. I started feeling tired and though that was one of the after effects, but it was the start of something more. Three other viruses hit me, and opened me up for sepsis and a stay in hospital. I was lucky this time, but in future I'll listen to my body. Covid is something everyone should be wary of, it destroys so much more than we realise. I couldn't fight the the other viruses. Thank you so much for the prayers, everyone has been so kind. Warm hugs, my friend. Sandra xx

Thank you so much for letting us know, Sandra! I'm so happy that you are feeling better! You have been in our prayers and we are grateful to know the Lord is answering and so glad you don't need those emergency services. But hope they all can get back to work. How scary for the country! Looking forward to your next chapter, Sandra!!

Thank you, Helen. It's terrible here, people are dying who shouldn't be. I just don't know what's going on anymore. I was so lucky that my hubby and son got me to the hospital when they did. Between them and all your prayers, I can be so thankful I'm still here.
I'm taking it steady still, but it's so nice to start writing again. I had begun to think my brain wouldn't come back to me!
I went over the last few chapters to get me back into it, and found a big error. I'd put the two kidnappers in two places at the same time! That was because I would insist I was fine, when I wasn't, and carried on writing. I've given the two men, who are now twins, two more brothers! Lol. It actually works well. (I hope) I'll put a note in my author's notes.
Helen, you have been wonderful, and I can't thank you enough for all the prayers and caring messages. You did this when you were going through so much yourself. I'll never forget what you did for me. Love and hugs, my friend. Sandra xx

Oh, Sandra! You're so lovely and a delight to love so of course, we would all be praying for you and missing you. So glad you are on the mend and writing. It's a time traveling book so anything is possible! The twins could be even from another time! Thanking the Lord for getting you to the hospital at the right time and that you are safe and recovering at home now. 🙏💞💖

Hi Jim, thank you. I didn't get as far as I'd wanted to, but at least I went out. It was dry, a bit cold, but still nice. I'll be up for a chat later this week. Let me know when you'll be there. Love Sandra xx

Best news I've had all month! I'm glad to hear that you're croaking in the literal sense of the term. (Not sure about in UK, but In US, "croak" is slang for "die.") Cheers! LIZ

I am so happy to know you are feeling better, Sandra.
Thank you for the update.I have not been doing too well since Mark and Rhonda passed away. I know I am depressed and I can't get my brain to work either. God Bless you, Dear. I pray for your speedy recovery and that you bounce back with gusto!
Love Nancy:)

Aw, Nancy, I can't begin to imagine how you are keeping yourself together. You've been through so much. I wish I had half your strength. Of course you're depressed! Who wouldn't be, they were your babies. You are in my prayers, too, my dear friend. That you are thinking of me, just blows my mind away. You are a special friend, and I love you. Thank you. Sandra xxxx

How easy it is for us to take for granted a little walk around the block. Oh, Sandra, we rejoice for you. If you only knew how many people love you here. You make my day, that's for sure! Your update and your sunny prognosis is enough to keep your rabid fans from charging your door for another week! Love you, Sandra!

I love you, too, Jay, you are such a wonderful friend, and you say all the nicest things. You made my eyes well up again! You're right about how we take a little walk for granted. I was surprised at how much it tired me. It's going to be a case of a little each day. But, I'll get there!
It was nice to start writing again, and I'm working on the chapter a little bit at a time. Thank you, my dear friend. Love you lots. Sandra xx

Six Stars for my strong friend who has faced some scary times with her health and continues to battle back with a smile on her face. I look forward to checking in to read your next chapter. I need to start writing again soon. Take care of yourself and know that I am praying for you. Hugs and lots of love, Carol

Aw thank you, Carol! It's taken a long time, and it'll take a bit more to get the strength back in my legs. I was surprised at how short a distance I could walk. That will take some time to sort out.
I know you've been through some very tough times, and I've really felt so bad for you. We'll both get back to our writing, I know you will, and once you start, there'll be no stopping you! Love you lots, my dear friend. Sandra xxxx
