I hesitated making this post because it is so personal and I wrestled with deciding which forum to put it in. It is ml related. As most of you know, my wife passed away in January of this year. She had been an avid ml'er for many years. She won bunches of matches, medals and some trophies. One time, while hunting during the Arkansas ml season she bagged two deer in one day. Enneyhow......now the sad part. In her final months there was a noticeable deterioration of her mental status. As I have been going through her things I have found evidence that she had been slipping mentally for quite some time. What I had thought were simply annoying quirks of personality were really serious mental defects. Now, the reason for this post. I found, literally, buried and hidden in the back of a closet a large bag filled with mail and two books. The mail turned out to be get well cards to me in the year 2016. In that year I had to very major surgeries. A heart bypass-graft (5 way) early in the year, and later a tumor removed from my spinal cord. Serious stuff. Well, the unopened mail was dozens of get well cards sent to me but never given to me. All were unopened. And, the two books were of subjects related to the Rev. War. I am sure most of the cards were from members of this forum as were the books. Those who know me from this forum know I have a great interest in the Rev. War. I was never able to thank everyone for their consideration sending me those cards an books. So now, belated as it is I deeply and sincerely thank everyone for their expressions of love and concern. And, to whomever sent the books, I am now reading them. Love to all, thank you for being friends.
