Katie's better half (he is awake and responsive; the extent of his damage is unknown at this time). My nephew and niece. Mama is her name. The Dunning clan. We're all doing it. So. Many. Intercessions. Jesus is near. Many thanks to every one of you. Please forgive me, O LORD, because I am in misery; my eyes have gotten feeble with worry, and my spirit and body have become sad.
