It gives me shivers to think about all that hardware stuck in a spine! Let us hope and pray for at least a notable recovery!<BR/><BR/>I listened to the inauguration feature on the radio (6 o'clock p.m. our time), with my ironing board put up, among other things ironing backing to my December doll's fabric. The crowds in Washington must have been unbelievable. My only regret was that I could be on the spot solely in my imagination. Even so, far from the place of action, I could not help shedding tears.<BR/><BR/>Barack Obama started work right away, as we can gather from the daily news. And the German politicians are already busy discussing wether or not to give asylum to some released Guantanamo prisoners when the time comes. Some say we must and will do. Others, mostly the decision makers, say we will not allow any of them in. They are in jitters and in a real dilemma about this issue, although they have not even been asked yet to make their contribution. Serves them right!<BR/><BR/>Love and best wishes,<BR/>SabineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-16051328996857261532009-01-26T12:59:00.000-08:002009-01-26T12:59:00.000-08:00As I said to Susan, I listened to the ceremony on ...As I said to Susan, I listened to the ceremony on my radio with tears in my eyes. Tears of joy at the words I was hearing; tears of hope for the future. <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure if this will sound sain, but the hardware removed from Roberts back seems symbolic of Obama's Inauguration Day. Removing artificial supports for a very painful, crippled back. We don't know if it will be the solution; we have to wait to see if the wounds heal; but we are all praying that this will be the be the day that the things began to change.<BR/><BR/>CAcoral-seashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876196936807771078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-40389685070964561732009-01-26T10:17:00.000-08:002009-01-26T10:17:00.000-08:00Hi Robin,I'm sending positive healing thoughts for...Hi Robin,<BR/>I'm sending positive healing thoughts for Robert.
