Dear Cuties, a lousy virus with a Trojan Horse in its backpack ambushed my poor body. It managed to mess up a DNA code that is responsible for the neuronic playbook. Now I am left with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. I have a "paralized" tongue, which means, I can not talk anymore. The loss of muscles has reached my hands now and I just wanted to say good bye to you in my own words as long as I am able to write it down. Than you and good bye, seeyou in the next life

I really don’t know what to say.

I have looked back at your projects and you have done some beautiful works. Your knitting is perfection and I always wished I had developed that skill. I also saw your quilts and first table runners. I really liked those as I myself am a late quilter and found I love it.

I am sorry I don’t even know your ‘real’ name or have never asked how you came up with your avatar name here. I can’t even say it. I don’t even know where you’re from.
What I do know first you are a child of God, a fellow Cutie and here we are all family. I want you to know I love you ‘sister’ and I am so sorry you have been struck by this disease.
Much love, prayers and tears for you-Toogie

Amen to jrob’s quote of scripture.

Toogie, I Googled kampfzwerg and it translated "Battle Dwarf."

by Kampfzwerg 11 Jun 2023

Thank you dears for your wellwishes. Thanks to the Lord, I am a pragmatic person. Even from childhood on, I understood that life is a sort of journey. We meet people, walk with them, have a chat or a real conversation. Some stay with us for a very long time, some just a few minutes. But every journey comes to an end and I am not far away from it. I would have prefered not to know it.
The Battle Dwarf is earned, bestowed by my son, while I tought my neighbor how to use a pickaxe on a dry clay soil under the overview of six males on the balcony (my hubby and son, the neigbor and his brother and his two sons) in the summer of 2000.

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26
I am so sorry.

You know we will keep you in prayers, will keep loving on you and sending cyber hugs for as long as are with us. And I know I will be delighted to see you whole and hearty when we both reach Heaven.

My best wishes and prayers for you!
Hugs, Lidia

Prayers and hugs for you

Ich wünsche dir viel, viel Kraft, gute Nerven und helfende unterstützende Hände um dich herum und das du es schaffst bei all den dunklen Wolken die Sonne noch zu sehen. An manchen Tagen brauchen wir ganz dringend schöne Gedanken um mit der Realität klarzukommen. Ich wünsche dir nur das Beste, alle Liebe, auf Wiedersehen, Maria

From a virus!?! How scary! I want to wish you the very best. I hope you are surrounded by the love and support of family and friends. Perhaps there are drug trials underway that might help turn this around, or stop its progress, or at least slow it down?
I pray for your spirits; may they stay positive and light.

A dear friend went through that disease. Reach out a long as you can. It helped her and it helped me. I'm so sorry.

Bless your heart, that is a lot to think through, much less experience physically. Protect your mind and your spirit as you deal with this awful disease. And I will hope to see you in the future when you have your voice again!
