     Anh Kim writes in his journal after getting home from his classes at college. He is looking forward to a long weekend relaxing with his fiance' and friends.

Dear Journal~

Howdy!  This is your friend in Oklahoma, Anh Kim, writing!  Hope this finds y'all well!

I am doing well; nothing much to complain about other than having to keep an eye on my stump; been having some redness, and also some soreness, around where the prosthetic leg fits; have to be very careful, so it doesn't cause me any problems.

Other than that, I am fine, and Thu, my wife-to-be (it will be next year, on June 24, 2010, when we get married) treats me like a king.  She's one of the best things that could have ever happened to me.  I just love her so much!  I am indeed blessed!

I just got home from school a while back; I am tired.  I am sitting here in the den of my dorm, waiting for Thu, John, Rico, JuJu, Willie, and Karla to arrive; we are going to go out to eat later (probably at Appleby's), then possibly to a movie or something.

Right now, though, I am sitting here, staring at my navel.  LOL  Nothing much to do until my fiancee' and my friends arrive; then it's par-tay time!! :)  (Well, not exactly "par-tay", but we do plan on having a good time without all the booze and other craziness! We don't need that in our lives!)

The weather here has been stormy; we had some doozers yesterday morning.  No tornadic cells, but they were still nasty, nevertheless:  they dumped over 2" of rain, and we had some serious winds clocking in at over 60 mph.  It was pretty interesting!

We also had a lot of frequent lightning and heavy thunder.  No damage here, but some places up the road had some roof and structural damage from the high winds.

Today, however, finds a very pretty sunny day, with pristine blue skies, and temperatures flirting around 75-80 degrees, with low humidity levels.  Just perfect springtime temperatures; I really wanted to skip school today (but didn't)!

I talked to mama yesterday; or tried to, anyway.  No answer.  Guess she's busy wrangling with the kiddoes or working.  Hopefully nothing's wrong; I always worry when I call and I don't get anything from her!  I will have to say a prayer for her, pray she's okay!

Well, JuJu and the gang just arrived; I hear Willie honkin' the horn of his bright green Hummer H2.  I will write in here again soon; until then, this is Anh Kim signing off!  God bless you and talk to you another time!

~Love, your friend in Oklahoma, Anh Kim.  :)

Karen, I have no idea if the characters, and their conditions are figmnents of your imagination or real people that you are in touch with, but, nonetheless, these people all appear to be real and their conditions and hopes and desires appear to be real and that, after all, is the job of a writer: to realistically bring the lives and conditions of people to the mind of the reader so he/she can actually see them and feel for them and you do this so well, my friend.
Your friend, Mark.

This is great reading Karen
It shows a person with medical problems of sort
Not allowing his conditions to get in the way
still going onward with life.

For a moment I thought it was your Sister Karla writing....lol
when I arrived at the weather description, narrating what she does so with such great talent, placing me in the center of an oncoming storm.

Here we are also experiencing several storms daily, its good for us because we were having a drastic drought, causing havic with brush fires, for a moment I thought I was in California.....
A plaesure to read your fantastic story.
Love & peace be with you
