Ulla, I just want to hop a plane and give you the biggest hug. I read something earlier and it might have been this story, but I knew that you have had a very rough year. I also read your holiday greeting and will be reviewing that in a minute. From what I knew, I had put you on my prayer list a while ago, and I think I had already told you that, but was hoping to hear better news. And it sounds by your other post, it is slowly coming.
Please know what your sweet friendship has meant to me and I am sorry that I don't get the time or the eye strength to review too much, but my good intentions are only that if i don't do something about it. So before I strain them where I can't see, I am putting you a top priority for a change. Not that its any big treat to be reviewed by me, but I do want you to know how much I care.
You are such a strong woman and I admire you greatly. So my prayers continue and I hope that the rest of this year straightens out so that you have some good me memories of it. And that next year is the best ever for you and your family.
You are loved by everyone who knows you here and that is what we are all here for. Bless you my lovely friend, and your wonderful family.

Comment from Brett Matthew West
Unfortunate what happened to "Clare". Not much to offer but at least her remains were discovered so the family knows for sure what occurred.
"village were spared" should be village was spared.
Sometimes when it rains it seems to really pour one issue after another.
Still, though it may not seem like it at the time, everything tends to work out...somehow.

I'm glad you shared all of this with your FanStory family. The more who know, the more healing will take place. I am sending healing on all levels. May whatever is befalling you and yours cease now.
Take care,

I know it's been a rough year for you but hang in there. God never puts on us more than we can bear. Does your sister-in-law have COVID-19? I know pneumonia can be a result of that. Hang tough girlfriend. Shirley

No, my sister-in-law doesn't have Covid. That is a certainty. She's slightly better , is now home but slee po s most of the day. Thanks a lot for your concern, Shirley. Hugs. Ulla xx

Comment from Rachelle Allen
My best college friend and I came up with a theory years ago about bad things. I hope it helps a little for you. We decided that everyone is given X number of bad days that will happen throughout the course of their life. Once they are used up, then nothing but good days will be left. So, every time a bad day happens, know that your X-number has dwindled, and your Good-Days-Only time has become closer.
After this year of yours, Ulla, I'm thinking you must be on the threshold of zero bad days left!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for that to be the case!!

Thank you so much, Maria Jose. We all need a bit of change in our fortunes. But life is like that. It has its ups and downs. But I'm a born optimist. So I hope for the best. Ulla:)))

I'm glad to hear you are an optimist. You've won have the battle. Take care.

My prayers are with you and your family going through this difficult time. It's especially hard when people who aren't that old succumb to these dangerous illnesses. I would say to go over and support your family, your brother, maybe you can wear protective clothing or something to at least be there for a shoulder to lean on. But you don't want to risk getting sick yourself if this is contagious. The house is the easy part. Things can always be replaced. People are another matter. estory

Thank you so very much. It's been a strange year for all of us. I'm in good health and neither of us want that to change. I've spoken to my brother today and there is some improvement. Thanks for all your support. Ulla:)))
Comment from Sally Law
Ulla dear, I'm sorry to be late with my review. I broke out with shingles two days ago. Ugh. Anyway, yours is much more severe and pressing. Things can be repaired but life is much more fragile. I'm sending this along with my prayers for Reuben and Kimberly and strength for you all. I prayed diligently for the fire to abate and it did. I'm hoping for a miracle and for you to believe in the God who loves you so much. Call to him and pray. He will answer and help. I care for you so much and value our friendship. I hope you know that. I love you, Ulla!

Comment from nancy_e_davis
It has been the worst year of my lifetime for my family as every one of us have been in the hospital except Nancy Jean. She wa quarantined away from home with Covid, though. Rhonda, My daughter has been near death for quite a while. Has been shipped out to Las Vegas Hospitals twice now. My Brother, Niece, Son-in-law, Mark, my son, who died unexpectedly on Nov 18, and don't leave me out! I had a heart attack and was kept overnight for observation. I am going deaf and blind and Rhonda and I are on oxygen 24/7. I am sorry to hear you are having a bad year as well. Lets hope next year will see an improvement and we can quit holding our breath waiting for the other shoe to fall. LOL Love Nancy:)

Oh, Nancy, I know you have had a rotten year. I am so very sorry for everything you're going through. I feel bad for reporting what has happened tome and my family. It doesn't compare with anything you have suffered.
True, we have to believe and hope next year will be a better on. Lots of love and a hug. Ullaxx
