You continue to reveal your loving heart. It's no wonder everyone loves you! The poetry was good. You get better all the time. I have your name close to pray especially for safe, successful surgery and walking again! Sending hugs.

I'm so sorry for the delay in this thank you message. I got behind before my surgery, but trying to catch up while healing in the hospital. I do thank you for your congrats for my 100th post and lovely review and kind words for my poem. So appreciated my friend!

I have prayed for you and will continue to pray as you recover. I can't wait for you to be on your feet and able to walk. Sending love!
Comment from LateBloomer
Hello Debi, this poem is absolutely beautiful, warm and heartfelt. Your words of love and gratitude flow from your heart with the ease of speed. Thank you for sharing your 100th post with all of us.
Of special note:
If I could make a speech for you, I fear I'd never quit
(Agreed. Lol, and I'd never stop interrupting you with a story, etc. while you are trying to make the speech.)
Lovely artwork choice. A pleasure to read. Keep the blue waters flowing. Congratulations on your 100th post.

Debi, you can reply if you want but you don't have to - your healing and recovery comes first. I think there's a option to delete if you want. Just please don't feel pressured or stressed. Just enjoy if it provides a needed distraction from pain. Hugs and prayers!! 💖💖🙏🙏

I always love your beautiful flowers and sweet messages my friend. So thankful for you!

Hi Debi, what a lovely and
sweet tribute to poetry friends. You have such a kind
and sunny nature. You're one
of the top poets but you're
not snobby about it, you reach
out to everyone. May you
write many more poems from
your diamond heart through
your golden pen. Blessings ~

If I could make a speech for you I fear I'd never quit. LOL, you have said you're a chronic talker!
Congratulations on 100 posts - what a milestone you've reached! Looking forward to 200 and all the lovely poetry you will write between now and then.
Looking forward to our birthday next month, and to hearing that you are healing and getting around.
Take care - you're in our thoughts and prayers.

Oh Pam, I am so very sorry for this taking so long to get back to you. We had some emergencies where my husband ended up in the hospital with blood clots and long story short, (lol, lets see if that's even possible) he was in for about a week and is doing better now. Now I go in on Monday and just way got behind on thank you messages. I knew you were in there, so I came looking for you. I do thank you from the bottom of my heart though.
The fact that we were already friends before we found that we have the coolest connection ever, makes me even more excited that we found this out before October. I did change your line a little to make people a little more curious about us. It reads like this, we'll celebrate together Pam, this birthday and the rest.' After all, Glen already promised to get the lottery tickets for me.
Thank you my birthday bud for the lovely review, words and your gracious six stars. And LOL, I loved that you caught the 'fear I'd never quit.' It would have to take a virtual twin to pick up on that! Thanks again Pam. Love ya!

I wasn't worried about not hearing from you - you've got an awful lot on your plate. I knew about your husband - maybe through Helen, but not sure. Good luck next week and know that all of us here are thinking of you, praying for you, and sending positive vibes your way for a quick and hoped-for recovery.
Talk to you on the other side (of the surgery).
Pam

Roy, Thank you so very much for reviewing my 100th post to you and everyone else that I have come to love. You have been more of a help to me than anyone else. I name you as my best friends all the time and I started to fear that it may be embarrassing, or that you didn't believe in what I was doing with those contests that I had started, 'Surprising FS Friends.'
After Margaret you are my first and best friend. I wish you knew the amount of love I have for you Roy. Your love for Jesus is such an inspiration to me and in my life, besides my grandfather, you are the one person that I admire more than anyone. I have written a poem for you that I wanted to post after my surgery on Monday, but I felt the need to get your permission first.
I remember when I first got here,, Raul was my first friend and he told me about your love of Christ. I fanned you and have always been your biggest fan ever since. As I know I can be a bit of a rebel, but you always stay true to your beliefs and that is so big to me. God put you in my path for a reason, and sometimes you keep me from more of my little flaws that I have in my flesh. Anyway, if you have a problem with this poem that I wrote for you, I can take your name off of it, but if it is ok, then I will be posting next week.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I admire you immensely Debi, I possibly don?t deserve your regard for me. You are brave, an example to all in how to love, as a human, you and my wife, Elaine, are people whom I humanly aspire to. Go ahead, the folk here are very special, it seems God has had gathered us here as watchman. Bless you dear girl you are an inspiration, is Margaret, Latebloomer? May God?s healing wings rest on you Debi, and on your family.

I am honored by your blessing in your comment.
And thank you for allowing me to post my poem. It will be next week some time when I get home from the hospital.

I look forward, we need you in health, Debi
