Let me put it this way. There is something worse than not singing. You could sing like me! Now behave yourself so you don't end up singing like me.
Q, you crack me up! Thanks!
And thanks for the hugs!
Pity party OVER, I hope!
Precious friend... wishing I could take this from you because my voice is already gone.
Lots of hugs and continued prayers for complete healing.
Love you...
