[Magdalen] Where are we

[Marion Thompson]

Thanks for your kind prayers about the hip.  Bless your heart, Clarissa.
Soldiering along in a life that could have been kinder, you have stayed the
course.  iIhope the coming transition to 'civilian life' will fruitful and
bring you some joy, and  I hope the move goes as well as these things can.
And may Michael have his surgery, if needed, and that the treatments will
continue to keep him going.  What a life, eh?

Marion, a pilgrim
