[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Woe is me

Tue Feb 20 15:58:22 UTC 2024

Sophie, the medication is working that the doctor gave me. I am doing better. You have a great mommy and daddy. They take good care of you! I am glad that you are cooperative. I don’t want you to get sick either.

I wish I could send you some treats through this email.!

I don’t know exactly all the details but my grandpa was army Air Force my grandpa‘s baby brother served in the Navy as a cook. I support the military also as I have a cousin who is serving currently and so is his wife I don’t think they’ve been deployed recently. I also have a college friend who after desert Storm Came to college and that’s where I met her. She drove truck there. Anyhow, that’s really cool what you’re doing.
