Thanks again for prayers for me & my husband & our family & friends & our pets. My friend Beth thanks you for your prayers. She has her ongoing health & financial issues, and she asks for prayers also for her husband, Bill, who will get cataract surgery in April. For myself, I ask for prayers for the wellbeing of my pets. Three weeks ago, my husband & I had 2 dogs. Now we don't have any. One of them ran out in the street & was hit by a car on New Year's Eve. The other one was dead when my husband went looking for her yesterday morning. She was obviously old & sick, but she didn't seem like she was that close to the end of her life. I thought she had 2 or 3 months of good-quality life left in her.
