He is safe and well. He had to go to hospital for a few days but he will be back with us soon enough and will be happy to see messages of love here, I think. His yahoo email account has stopped working, so here is the best place to contact him.

He's not been a well man for a while and its taking him a while to get over it.

She is taking them too him. She's not worried about him and his health, but she is concerned for him and his happiness. He's been worrying himself ill, you see. And that isn't good for anyone.

I've been encouraging him to get back to the stuff he used to do before he fell sick, and to take physical exercise. And, if only he would, then he will feel better by degrees.

Oh dear Smile she just emailed me to ask if that would put people off. So let's be clear. She loves him and knows he's gay. Nothing will stop her loving her brother. So post away.

Shawn...

Don't know who you are or the story yet but I got the email from my mail list and just wanted to give a HUG with really long arms... The atlantic is pretty big...

If the problem is somewhat what I might be lead to believe then remember one thing always... When it looks the darkest, the sun is about to come up...

Kind of cryptive but really think about that line...

Love ya,
Arthur
Hugs Shawn... best wishes.  [message #24173 is a reply to message #24162] Thu, 14 April 2005 21:20 Go to previous messageGo to next message

Shawn I am an old friend of Timmy's and a health care provider of sorts. Not a doctor just a lowly worker that would like to offer an ear to listen or a shoulder for you to lean on. I am interested in being a friend and hopefully a way for you to find a bit of refuge and comfort. Please try to remember that you have friends who really care and worry about you. I sincerely hope you feel better soon, how can you help with someone like Timmy on your side. xxx me (John Windham)

Hi, Shawn! As I'm sure you don't need anybody to tell you, a hospital is definitely not the most fun place to be. So do yourself a favor: get well, get out of there, and (most importantly) feel better! {{{hugs}}}

I used to post here a lot, not sure if people here these days remember me, but I saw timmy's plea so I thought I should stop by and show my support.

Now, timmy gives the best hugs of any man I know (Nickie don't feel bad - yours are great too! Wink) - and I've had the privilege of being on the receiving end of a couple. Thus, it is my duty and obligation - as well as sincere wish - to give something back...

Shawn, I hope you're okay and feeling well now. That you and I both are strangers don't have to mean anything; we can still care about things worth caring about. Such as you. Smile

Hi Shawn,

Here's a nice poem that I've recently came across to share with you and wishing you a speedy recovery.


HYACINTHS TO FEED THY SOUL
by Gulistan Saadi

If of thy mortal goods thou art bereft,
And from thy slender store
Two loaves alone to thee are left,
Sell one, and with the dole
Buy hyacinths to feed thy soul.

Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

So we cannto expect for news updates easily.

I have a couple of additional messages by email that I'll be forwarding to her when I get home from a week away.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Shawn again.

I'm back home. I appreciate all the prayers, hugs and well wishes. It meant so much, that so many would take the time to leave a note. Just know it made such a difference to me.
