Hello!

My dear TTL Friends,
This has been a very rough week for my family and I and its not done yet. Wednesday, we had to say good-bye to a well loved pet who was suffering horribly from liver cancer. Friday, my youngest son entered a crisis that will likely end his military career and we are powerless to help him. Yesterday, my 5D Mark II completely died, and tomorrow I have my second heart surgery. I can only hope and pray our recent string of events takes a turn for the positive real soon.

Thank you so much for your many visits and kind words; I can't tell you how much they mean to me!

Thank you,
Jim

If He can bring you to it, He will bring you through it. Praying for strength, peace and wisdom. I love the pic too.

I'll be saying a prayer for all of you. Let us know you are okay. God is bigger than all of us and he will take care of his own.

Jim my friend, you sure are going through a rough patch at the moment. Hopefully everything will sort itself out real soon. My prayers go your way, take care. A great pic, a Giraffe with a smile, nice one.

Praying for you with all this, Jim. We seem to be having similarly, though different months...

Thinking of you Jim, during this very difficult time. Keep smiling, things will improve! This is a beautiful capture, with such a wonderful pose. Great shot.

Hang in there Jim, Things can only get better! Thoughts and better times are my wishes for you.

Maybe th camera will be fixed when you are ready for recovery...you won't be able to use it while having heart surgery... so a good time for it to break down... you are in our prayers..guess your son will have greatness somewhere else than military... this could be good..

TTL community seems to go through many crisies Some only hinted at and others quiet heart rending. Thinking of you Jim, I guess the Canon is the easiest to fix. So hope your op makes you strong and your son's set back turns to new opportunities.

You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers, Jim. I wish you the very best outcome from your surgery and hope that your son resolves his issues in a positive way. I'll be looking forward to your wonderful and inspiring posts when you return!
