Writers keep all © copyrights.
You have all been so wonderful to me, so please, please, please accept my apologies for not visiting your poetry sites or keeping in touch with you. I just completed my autobiography and I put on a big courageous act, but this has been the most difficult time of my life. My son Ronnie passed away the day before Mother's day this past May and I've been trying so hard to continue all that I had been doing before -- but I will be 86 years old in March, live alone, and am alone most of the time with high blood pressure, sporadic pains in my chest and cramps in my legs which make it difficult for me to walk. Despite all of this, I do my own grocery shopping and laundry, carry heavy bundles, have written and edited a 170 page book with many photographs and, although I have a large family, been ALONE most of the time, telling everyone that I'm FINE. For this reason, nobody has to worry about me -- and when I become depressed I just force myself to get busy so that I have no time to complain. I have a doctor's appointment this morning, so I am asking you to please pray for me and again, please forgive me for not keeping in touch. You all have been so good to me in the past and I hope and pray that you understand what I am going through now -- the death of two sons and the death of Milt, my dear fiance'. May God bless you. Love, Annette
