Hi Mike,

Sent you a big ole hug buddy and here's another. Hope your out and about soon. Really want to hear from you as I have been away for a while as well. I pray often for you and my friends. All I need is for the big guy in the sky to listen to this sinner called Bern. I have read some very good words here concerning God and pain. I guess God picked us for chronic pain because he knew we could prevail. What is Gods purpose? Maybe our friends and family have changed knowing us and don't take things lightly. Using their time wisely, know how lucky they are to be healthy. All that stuff. Maybe, right now, some of those words would help my buddy Mike here. I know how long my friend has been away, yet finds time for sending me a hug. Buddy your precious. I know you'll be out and about. Faith is my weapon. That, my friend, is what this life is about. Keep the faith Mike, and I'm thinking of you.

In my prayers

Bern
