NOTE FOR CYNTHIA / ERIKA

[Guest guest]

Hi ;

You are a gem!! ;-)

is inching her way back to reality. Hopefully she will be

closed up tomorrow. In the meantime, these great jokes will

keep giggling and smiling. I have a feeling she will enjoy

sharing them with her dear hubby.

One of the nice things about getting jokes like you've sent is that

they will give her pleasure the first time she reads them but she

will enjoy them again and again as she shares them with

nurses and visitors. So, I guess, in a way you might say that

putting jokes in the hands of a patient in the hospital is not only

heaing, it is also enpowering!

Thank you so much for helping me to help her.

hugs,

gobo
