sorry it took me so long

sorry it took me so
long to write as you probably
noticed I haven't been spending
much of doing any and my arm
still isn’t working so well I
guess I've had a
lot of

scattered pieces on my mind
not to say I don't miss the spending
time but I do have this brain disorder
you know and a surgery to think about
and a lot of things running through
a haphazard head the past
present future
dying

dead

you know the places
kind of like everything I said all
running together and I do thank you so
much for the caring not to mention the
best wishes that have always meant
the world to me but I have
to be about
this

dread

but listen
no matter what the
excruciating circumstance
remember one thing when it
can't be found any where
comfort beyond

compare
does exist
I read
it

    written shortly after a day trip when I tripped and fell while stoking a camp fire breaking my collarbone - then in a routine blood work-up they found I had hepatitis - fine, so I'm going to die - months maybe even a year passed and they called again to inform me they were wrong and I instead had a hernia - needless to say I never went back there

Dale...good grief...you scared me.  I was afraid you might have broken your sense of humor.  So good to get a letter, at last!  xoxoxoxo

PS...I know this was for Karen
