pharp: Greetings and Happy New Year to all! I have been away from Fanstory for a while due to illness.

I had to undergo some major surgeries which took some time for me to heal. I am doing better and will be back doing what I love and enjoy from time to time.

God has really been with me through these difficult times, yet my faith never wavered. One of my favorite Bible scripture is Psalm 118:17 " I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord". I will continue to live and do His will until that appointed time that I am called to be with the Lord.

My heart was sadden to read about the passing of Adewpearl and Dean. I know that they are missed...

May God continue to Bless and keep each and every one.

pharp: Greetings and Blessings to all my fans. Most of you know I have had problems with the numbness in my right hand and arm. I have undergone physical therapy for the past five months and I have three weeks to go. The feelings in the hand and arm have returned. My doctor have limited my time on the computer for awhile, to no more than two hours a day. I have missed all of you. Total shout out to you Cat!!!!!!!! meow

pharp: To all my fans and friend, I have been away due to health issues. I have lost feelings in my right hand due to a nerve coming from my neck resting on my spine.

I have the use of my pointer finger and thumb. Please bear with me, as I will review as many poems in my message box as I can. It will be a slow process, but this is what I enjoy doing as it helps me to stay focus and it keeps my mind off of the pain.

Cat, you will probably be the only one that reads this. I am not sure if this is how I am suppose to share with my fans. I know that any time I share you respond.

If anyone by chance read this message HOORAY!!!!!!
Love you all....................Portia

pharp: To all my friends, fans and fanstorian family, please forgive me, I have been unable to review for awhile due to illness. I am due to have some minor surgery on the 5th of January.

My message box is full, I will try to get some reviewing in later on today.

Thanks so much for understanding and know that I love you all and have a Happy New Year.

pharp: Many thanks to all who reviewed, commented and voted for my poem "The Fallen and their Families," Blessings to all!!!!!!

pharp: Happy Veterans Day to all veterans, thanks so much for your service.

pharp: Greetings to all,

Due to illness in the family, I have been gone for quite awhile. I really have not been writing any poems lately and truly missed the sharing and reviewing as well and the honesty and helpful comments received from the many talented poets and writers. So, I am back and will post when I can. Please know that I missed all of you whom I have had the pleasure to get to know and those who really helped me with your constructive criticism. Blessings to all!!!!!

pharp: Started writing poems in July 2010 after my sister passed. She loved and enjoyed writing poems and wanted to get them published, however; she never got the chance. I never had any interest in writing poems, since her death I have been unable to put the pen down. So, I am new at this and don't know if my work is any good or not. I just write from my heart.
