To All My Poemhunter Friends Poem by David Harris
To All My Poemhunter Friends
As you know, I have not been well of late after being rushed into hospital last Thursday 4 October 2007 as the result of a Transient Ischaemaic Attack (TIA) , which stimulates the symptoms of a stroke. I had five in on Thursday. My left hand side went numb each time. They lasted only five minutes at a time. It was due to lack oxygen to the brain. However, I had to have an x-ray done on my brain. The results came back yesterday and they indicated that during the TIA attacks I actually did suffer a mild stroke. Although I have not suffered any real damage to the brain, I am at times left very tired. This is one reason why I have not been reading much of late. Having said that I am missing all my friends at PH very much.
I want to thank everyone for their marvellous support and prayers. It is only when times like this occur that you find what wonderful friends you have. You may never see their faces, but the thought of them being there for you is very comforting indeed. It is something in the forty odd years of writing I had never experienced before. I am going to come back from today and read maybe one or two poems a day and comment on them. When I get tired, I will obviously come away. I am going to try to get around to everyone I know up here and at least read one of their poems. It is impossible to do that all in one day, so you will have to bear with me.
The good news is that I am on the mend. I am still writing and have several poems to post. I will start to do that tomorrow one or two a day. For now, I just want to thank everyone. Your friendship has touched me so much. I am in debt to you all for your extreme kindness.
David, I am just meeting you through your poems. All I can offer you is that my wife experienced TIAs several years ago. It is emotionally disconcerting because the doctors can't tell you when or if you'll experience another one. That doesn't help your stress level that I'm sure your doctors have told you you are supposed to lower. My good news is she hasn't experienced any in the past three years and was back up to her normal speed in a couple of months. I wish you the best in recovery and look forward to you regaining your strength to review some of my work. Tom J. Mariani
David, I had read your comment on one of my poems, and sent you a 'Thanks! ' Then I perused your poems, and found this... I am saddened to hear that you haven't been well. Please do rest...and think good thoughts.: -) We are all hoping for a speedy recovery for you...our thoughts are with you. Huge hugs going your way! ! Dee
It's so nice to hear from you in this positive light David, you are on the mend and I thank God for that. I look forward to reading more and more of your poems because that's what you do and you do it well. I wrote you a detailed message so no need to repeat it here. Just know that you are thought of and continually prayed for.--Love Melvina--
My Dearest David, I knew that you wrote me about it, and i hope that you are getting o.k and have enough rest, and take your time to start working or stressing your self, you need to have more rest you need that to recover after hospital. and i wish you all the best and for your family as will. may the lord be with you always, God bless you, With all my prayer and love and care, Mary :)

Hello, I hope you also consider me a friend though we can never meet! Meggie is a close friend in PH just like many other poets. She loves and praise your poems just like many of us in PH. Your poems are classical depicting the many faces of life, its one brings encouragement, hope, love, etc. Many lessons are learned from your writes. At your age now, you still grows old gracefully giving us and the readers in PH much pleasures, . Your wit and passion in writing will be my guide in improving my style. Please take good care of yourself as we all care for you too. God bless David.
Wish you a quick recovery and hope you are regaining your strenght and abilities more each day. Hopefully, there will be things you can do in the future to prevent another attack.
