My mother is having major surgery on Friday. She is an amazing woman of advanced years, and has unfortunately suffered numerous medical conditions over the last twenty years . She gave up a very promising career in New York to raise her children in a healthier environment in New Mexico, and never complained once. She is also a survivor of the 1938 New England Hurricane.
Your prayers for her to recover quickly would be greatly appreciated.
Will do! Ben
Thanks for giving us the opportunity to do what we can for you. I will keep you, your mother, and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
You have mine, bless you mom.
You have my best wishes that things go well for your mom and family.
Dear Steven’s mother,
I have prayed for a good and speedy recovery from your surgery. May the Lord shine His light on you this day and for more to come!
Richard
family first…all our best.
Until this year, I did not believe in prayer. I do now, even as things are growing bleaker. My family and I will pray for her.
Done. All the best to you and your mom.
Consider it done, Steve. All the best to you and your mom.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery. She did a great job raising her son.
In the mighty name of Jesus , Amen
My prayers are for a full and speedy recovery for your beloved mom!
good moms are pretty good stuff. a little warmth from the northwest.
Done, best wishes to you and yours.
You can count on that Steve.
That is the least we can do.And if there is something more I can do, just ask.
All the best to your mother Steve and hope she gets well soon. My mum of 86 is not very well either, getting old is not for softies.
Please give her all our regards and we hope to hear some good news soon.
Andy

Sorry for the trying times. I hope for the best for your mother.
Prayed that the Surgeons hands will be steady and sure and that there will be speedy recovery and no infection. In Jesus name.

“My mother’s death supervened, and this was the greatest blow I had experienced in my life. I worshipped her; her image appeared to me unique. I knew that the moral values of her saintly soul were high above all that is human, and I could not resign myself to the loss of a being on whom I counted to make invisible the unavowable blemishes of my soul. She was so good that I thought that it would do for me too. She adored me with a love so whole and so proud that she could not be wrong: my wickedness, too, must be something marvelous! My mother’s death struck me as an affront of destiny, a thing like that could not happen either to her or to me! In the middle of my chest I felt the thousand-year-old cedar of Lebanon of vengeance reach out its gigantic branches. With my teeth clenched with weeping, I swore to myself that I would snatch my mother from death and destiny with the swords of light that some day would savagely gleam around my glorious name!” – Salvador Dali (The Secret Life of Salvador Dali 1942)

“Ugly and futile: lean neck and thick hair and a stain of ink, a snail’s bed. Yet someone had loved him, borne him in her arms and in her heart. But for her the race of the world would have trampled him underfoot, a squashed boneless snail. She had loved his weak watery blood drained from her own. Was that then real? The only true thing in life? His mother’s prostrate body the fiery Columbanus in holy zeal bestrode. She was no more: the trembling skeleton of a twig burnt in the fire, an odour of rosewood and wetted ashes. She had saved him from being trampled underfoot and had gone, scarcely having been. A pour soul gone to heaven: and on a heath beneath winking stars a fox, red reek of rapine in his fur, with merciless bright eyes scraped in the earth, listened, scraped up the earth, listened, scraped and scraped.” – James Joyce (Finnegans Wake 1939)
“Thou must yet become a child and without shame.” – Friedrich Nietzsche (Thus Spake Zarathrusta 1891)
No matter what the creature in whom I have my being does, I and I alone am its master, my kingdom is not of this world, my kingdom is the kingdom of love. Does it exist? I will seek it.” – Vincent van Gogh (letter to Theo van Gogh)
