I know that I don't often ask for requests and I only do it when I feel depressed and down hearted, but may I ask everyone of you to please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. You see folks, many of you might not know this, but today is February 18th and it was the same day last year that I had to be hospitalized for a week due to a terrible illness that I had. Today I have been feeling extremely depressed and emotional and my mind keeps wandering here and there as it is haunting me quite a little. You know something friends, last year at this time I was just not my normal self at all. I was so down on myself so badly I was terribly ill, I had awful sensations in my body, terrible problems sleeping, etc. Oh gosh it was so horrible. This year however I just can't tell you how truly greatful I am for all those wonderful nurses at Credit Valley hospital here in Mississauga for giving me the right medication and for all you wonderful individuals for your concern, prayers and support. You know, it was at this hospital when I thought to myself that if it wasn't for you all, I wouldn't be alive today. I was so awful for a week I didn't even want to come back home at all. I can't even begin to tell you how truly sweet and helpful those nurses and doctors were to me and the help that I got from them all, it was very, very overwhelming and extremely healing. So if you wouldn't mind please including me in your prayers at this time for it is starting to give me bad memories and it will haunt me until the end of February. I got out of the hospital on the 27th of February which was a Friday and oh my gosh I can still remember coming out of there in such high spirits I was my normal self again!!! God has been extremely good to me and when I start getting these feelings off and on it gets extremely uncomfortable and nerve racking, but I know that when I get my bible on cassettes very soon thanks to one of my sweetest friends ever, Norma Lee for recommending that beautiful Christian web site to me. Words can't express how truly touched I am that these down to earth people ordered this bible for me on audio and I'll tell you something friends and neighbours, they are really going to heal me completely. I feel so happy at the moment I am crying as I'm writing this, but every now and then I get plagued with depression and anxiety and this gets very emotional and insecure for me.

I love you all so much and thank you very very much from the bottom of my heart for your extreme kindness and for all your thoughts and prayers. They mean a great deal to me. Everyone should have friends in their lives, friends and pets are so important in a family life and I feel so special you all are my family! I will really look forward to your responses.

Love your most special friend in country music always, Maheen.
