Recognize
If you have been through
Or felt what I have
Then you will be able
To recognize
I tended to hear
Only the loud and clear
But then I heard a soft voice
And I recognized
That loud doesn’t mean right
And I can turn an ear
I can dry up the tears
Because I recognized
As I was told many times before
The words that are said
Aren’t for me to believe
Now I recognize
A lift of my feelings
A heart beating strong
I will fight for my life
Because he made
Me recognize.

Terry – We’re holding in there. I’m very tired but working to catch up with myself. Tom had emergency heart surgery last Wed and of course that threw us for a loop. He is doing great and it seems the heart problem was causing many of his biggest issues. I’m so glad I kept hammering away at the medical system. A blog will be forthcoming on the topic.

Michael, it is so good to talk to you again. Oh how I miss my dear brother, but slowly the days are being repaired. I would love it if we were closer in miles. I would feel so honored to meet you and your beautiful wife. You keep fighting dear friend. Fight like Al did no matter what. Pray daily, pray all the time that God holds you while you go through this time in your life. Al fought until the last two days and then I think God lifted him out of reality while he took Al home. I sure do miss him. Tell your wife hello and I send only the best thoughts and prayers for you both
