Here we have two members of the Barker family, from the United Kingdom. We'll be hearing more from this family. They have many poetry selections on Youtube, and all good ones, too. Keep spreading the word, Barkers!

Gail McGaffigan Stricken at Home; Grateful for Survival
Dear Friends,
I have been hospitalized in Neural Intensive Care since Wed., Jan. 21, after suffering a ruptured brain aneurism. I will be here for some time. Although my recovery is a very painful road, I am expecting an excellent outcome.
It will be a while before I'm well enough to write again. In the meantime, I hope you will enjoy my existing blogs and books.
Please do not send any flowers or money, but cards and letters would be very much appreciated; not just for myself, but also for my husband and children who are struggling with this.
(I do not wish to attract spammers, but please be sure to address this as you would a typical PO Box)...
Mrs. Gail McGaffigan
Post Office Box SIX TWO TWO TWO
Warwick, Rhode Island ZERO TWO EIGHT EIGHT SEVEN
This is also a critical time to pray for me not to have a relapse; I am at high risk for that for at least another week, before my chances begin to improve. Pray that I do not suffer any "vasospasms," or at least that I am strong enough to bear them.
Sincerely,
Gail
