Hi there FOXY...

Like HASBEEN, I've been wondering where you've been ? And you've spent the last twelve and a half weeks in Hospital as a result of a bad fall ! Hell, you don't do things by half do you ? I'm so very sorry to hear of your accident, and can only hope you're well on the road to getting much better, I really do.

To your question; putting things into perspective:-

The first (not necessarily in order) - The suicide, in 2014 of my first dear wife. I've seen an enormous amount of human misery in my lifetime, but this event knocked me totally for a six.

Secondly - South Vietnam; where I completely lost all notions of religion (God, Jesus etc); and all semblance of human compassion.

I hope you have a really happy and joyous Christmas FOXY, and the same sentiments are conveyed to ALL those folk who contribute to this most magnificent Forum of ours, and to it's owner and founder GRAHAM Young. To you all, I wish everyone a very healthy, and SAFE 2016 !

Hi Foxy

bit rough of you to leave Susie to do all the debating/squabbling/Turnbull gloating etc.. Poirot had also gone missing. May you have a speedy recovery and a blessed 2016.

my life changer was meeting the woman of my dreams whom I am very blessed to have as a wife/soulmate/friend

cheers

Dear O Sung Wu,

Thank You so much for contributing to the discussion
and for your Good Wishes and Kind Words.
The suicide of a loved one is something I can't even
begin to imagine. I'm so sorry.

As for the trauma of the Vietnam War - that is
something that many still suffer from today.
I saw a program recently which showed the positive
effects on ex- soldiers in caring for horses. Apparently
its a special program set up in the Hunter Valley Region
of NSW. To help veterans of war suffering from PTSD (Post
Traumatic Stress Disorders).

All The Best.

Dear runner,

Thank You for your Good Wishes.
And Blessings to you and yours.

I'm not going to be bragging about Mr Turnbull.
He's the last thing on my mind at the moment.
And ,I hope that I won't be "squabbling" with anyone
now or in the future. I have been through quite an
educative process - learning that other people's
opinions do matter and that I am not always right.
And what's really important in life is to concentrate
on what unites us, not divides us. As long as we have love,
family, and friends - that's what matters.

Also it may interest you to know that while in
hospital, the greatest calming influence on me was
not medication - but the Pastoral Care that was provided
by so many dedicated, compassionate, and caring people.
I prayed with all of them - and found peace.

Dear runner,

I forgot to add the following:

"But for all of us who journey through the
dark abyss of loneliness
There comes a great announcement: we are not alone!
For the maker of each heart that beats
the giver of each breath we take
Has come to earth, and given hope its birth."

(Steven Curtis Chapman).
