I didn't want to put this in the flagiversary thread although it is slightly tourzilla related. I traveled to Vancouver with my good friend Phyllis whom some of you may have met at MSG on 8/7. I came home tonight to a phone message about her husband, Don. He's very sick with bacterial meningitis and was having brain surgery this evening. They are absolutely wonderful people and have been married for more than 40 years. It's partly thanks to Don that I got to Vancouver because he agreed to let us blow a lot of his American Airlines miles for our plane tickets

Not to mention they are super friends and sometimes I forget they're closer to my mom's age than my own.

If you're a praying person, it's appreciated, or any good and kind thoughts you can think of for these good people. Thanks.

Of course my prayers are with this family and you

Be strong and be there for them, believe me when I say that

Love and friendship is the greatest love that can be

Jesus is about love

My thoughts and love are with you

No matter what happens love is the greatest gift of all

Definitely hoping that surgery goes well.

Thanks you guys! So far, so good. He got through surgery okay and is awake, alert and remembers everything and was about to have breakfast. This was an unexpected setback as he'd been feeling better on Wednesday and then started to feel worse again yesterday morning so now the hope is for no more setbacks.

I'm so sorry to hear this, Susan. Phyllis is a lovely person.

Glad to hear there's been some good post-surgical news. I'll be keeping you all in my thoughts and hoping for a continued strong recovery.
Hang in there.

WHOOPS, sorry I'm late.

Here's hoping all has gone as well as could be expected.
