Dear Prayer Warriors,
I just got an email concerning a dear friend of mine from way back who is in desperate need of your prayers.
Bob and I met over 40 years ago at an open-mike audition in Cambridge. Even though he sang country music and I sang blues and rock, we became good friends. He booked my band a couple of times, and oddly enough, our paths kept crossing again and again at recording studios, double-booked gigs, and so on. As an Activities Director in various elder facilities, I often booked Bob to entertain my clients, as he had a very nice show doing Oldies and Early Rock 'n Roll, like Buddy Holly and the Every Brothers. When I moved to Florida for a totally unrelated reason, I ended up buying a house in the same town as Bob and his wife, and he encouraged me to self-publish my first Book "Nuthin' But The Blues".
Bob entered my name into a contest, of which the First Prize was 1000 CD's, including re-mastering and cover design...and I WON. Such a deal was worth thousands of dollars, and it facilitated the publication and release of the first cd that I did all by myself. (My previous release involved three other artists). Bob was always thinking of his friends, and had a monthly music program at the Library where local artists could get exposure. I was already playing and teaching full-time, so I didn't really need "exposure" but I sometimes participated.
Even after I moved back to Massachusetts, I always sent Bob my daily meditations that I post here on FR. I did so today.
I got an email back from his wife. Bob is very sick, and in the hospital on a ventilator. He is not much older than I am, and this has upset me greatly. I know that Bob is a Believer, so there's that, but I just can't imagine him being so sick.
Could you all remember Bob in your prayers today?
Amen to every word!
Sure.
Thank you, redryder_90.
Prayers up.
My husband was very ill in April, spent 8 days on a ventilator. Now he’s healthier than he’d been in about 15 years. He is 71. Just a message of hope...
Thank you, nutmeg, for your prayers.
Thank you, metmom!
Thank you so much for your kind words of HOPE, Dear NEMDF.
I prayed.
Thank you, spacejunkie2001.
You are welcome. ((hugs))
I don’t know if it helped, but maybe Bob’s wife could inquire about this: My husband received the hydroxychloroquine & zinc & antibiotic for about 2.5 days, while they were waiting for his COVID-19 test (which was negative). Possibly these meds helped him pull through.
My prayers and supplications are with you and all involved!
Thanks for that!
Thank you, DarthVader, for your prayers!
Will remember tonight.
Prayers for your special friend.
Thank you, Fungi, for your prayers.
Thank you, Aquamarine, for your prayers.
“Thank you for sharing the need with the lists!”
No prob, sweetness! Always happy to help a fellow Canteener when possible. ;-)
Prayers up for your friend.
