Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsPlease send some good vibes out to Texas Towelie this afternoon.
Hi, folks. My brother has a major physical health issue he's dealing with. He asked to keep his privacy, so I cannot reveal anything else, other than it is not COVID-19 related. I won't know anymore about his prognosis myself until later.
I know how much he appreciated his friends' well wishes, prayers, and vibes years ago when he had a different health issue he was dealing with. Please take a second for him if you can.
Thank you so much. Blessings to you all.
( BTW, Yes, he and I are on the same political team in our family.)
