| A Letter of Thanks.... |
| On November 4th 2003 I suffered a stroke...while in the hospital, 2 days later, I suffered a heart attack... please believe me, if you've ever wondered if it's like the way Richard Pryor described it...it is!!!!.... arghhhhhh!!!!!... While I lay there half in..half out of it, my daughter, Pooh, who had flown in from Oklahoma told me that several of the people I had met online had been making phone calls to my house to find out how I was doing...One of the main ones who called was Bilal, founder of the Yahoo Group Kujifolks...he and I have become like mother/son over the last couple of years....talking frequently on the phone and exchanging gifts with each other....he happened to call and Pooh told him what had happenend... Bilal spread the word to the Kujifolks group and Lovinlocs, the Yahoo loc group founded by Mama Aminah Joi Folami Clements, who gracefully turned the group over to me when she cut her locs off....and so began my journey of blessings and thanks..... |
| When Bilal posted the news to our internet family at Lovinlocs, NeAisha, owner of the magnificent website Naani.com jumped in and spread the word, and the love and prayers poured in from all over the internet from my wonderful worldwide Naptural family...the response was and IS totally over whelming for me.... No one would believe how quickly the prayers started...no one outside the Naptural community could Overstand how the heartfelt LOVE poured in!!! I lay in the hospital unable to get online and respond to anyone on much of anything...I spent 11 days in the hospital and another 2 1/2 weeks in a rehabilitation facility relearning how to hold things....practicing walking and talking...in the midst of all this I was caught amongst that first huge wave of the flu that hit Colorado...the one which took the lives of 6 little children...and then I caught pneumonia!! I was unable to get online for about a month so ya'll know that in my darkest hours I was feen'n...!!! In the meantime, NeAisha had started a Get Well Fund for me...I was so shocked to hear about it...to know that people I had never met face to face were actually sending whatever they could spare to help me during my recovery...to know that I had somehow touched so many lives....I have NEVER been so over whelmed or felt so loved in my life.... Each day, as I struggled to regain and maintain self, I thanked God for each breath I took...I thanked Him for all of YOU, for the prayers and well wishes...I thanked Him for placing me where I am...when I am...for the kindness and love...the cards and emails...flowers...gits...money....the LOVE and HOPE that came to me through His Blessings that touched YOUR hearts.... It is thru His grace and your prayers that I am well on my way to full recovery... the biggest residual problem I am having is, it is very, very difficult for me to type...as much as I love writing the words come to my brain, but when I start writing them I constantly hit the wrong keys...I actually spend more time back spacing and putting the right letter in than I do typing whatever the actual word is...but it's getting better...I just have to stay calm and take my time...and not get frustrated when I hit the wrong key or come out with the wrong word...lol.. The main thing I want to say is:THANK YOU!!!!...Thank you for the love and prayers and everything else that comes along with it...and may God Bless each and every one of you..and I will write more real soon....(((((HUGS))))) ....just me...daez Thank you God for giving me another day of life....AMEN..... |
