HAPPY BIRTHDAY, POWER GIRL, DONNA 2024 (3/8)

 

DONNA TIME!

Time for a Donna update:

As most of you know, my dear wife, Donna, suffered another fall several months back and broke her left arm, and then not long after, experienced another stumble and broke her right hip. Surgery was completed for each, and Donna's Magik-al/Power Girl endurance (abetted by persistent, arduous therapy) has pulled her through, to the point that she's but a hop and a skip from being as good as new, maybe even better than before. Amazing! Astounding! But that's Donna for you. If ever she falters, you can bet your bottom dollar, she's gonna rebound. 

For now, Donna spends most days engaging in her favorite hobby, cooking and baking. In fact, she's conjuring so many tasty dishes that we often have more than we need and as such, share away. 

At any rate, Donna wants you to know that she appreciates your many compassionate cards, letters and emails. They're what keeps her motivated, and that strength filters through me. For that, we exclaim, God bless you one and all! 

DONNA IS FINE AGAIN!!!

Folks have asked for an update on my Power Girl wife, Donna. Well, I decided to wait until her latest, doctor's appointment to do so, and I'm pleased to report, she's doing fine. Of course, she (like so many heroic types) still has her quirks, but she's more on a super level than not. For that, I'm most thankful. I know Donna is, too. 

Cheers to my Power Girl, Donna!!! And thank you all for your gracious consideration and support!!!

DONNA TRIUMPHANT AGAIN!!!

I wish to thank all who've requested updates on my wife, Donna. She's doing well. This has been confirmed per two recent doctors' appointments. She'll just need a minor operation in the near future, but nothing to fret over.  

Please be aware that your kindness and understanding is precious to us. It eases the pain sprung from those who've found cause to make consistent, insensitive remarks regarding Donna's plight. (It's amazing how selfish and cruel some people can be.) Thank goodness Donna and I have distanced ourselves from those derisive detractors, while placing our true friends ever closer to our hearts. 

In this respect, I give special thanks to Donna's dear compatriot, Stacia, who has been there over the long haul to lend an empathetic ear, in addition to treating my wife to many lovely lunches. (Stacia is featured in the photo above, on the right.)

Rest assured, Donna will continue to apply her Power Girl mindset to any given circumstance. Because of your hearty support, she's gained the required motivation to continue fighting the good fight and is certain to emerge triumphant time and again. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DONNA (2020)!!!

HIP HIP HOORAY TO DONNA FOR FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT!!! 

WHILE OTHERS COWER, YOU STAND UP AND SWING!!! WHILE OTHERS CRITICIZE AND MOCK, YOU TRIUMPH AND WIN!!!

HERE'S WISHING YOU A POWER GIRL OF A BIRTHDAY!!! (I'M SO DARN PROUD OF YOU!!!)

DONNA TRIUMPHANT!!!

Up, up...and away to my gorgeous wife, Donna, for another tip-top bill of health!!!

I'm proud as a peacock of your consistent courage and all that you've achieved. You're a steadfast Power Girl in every single way.  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DONNA 2019!!!

Dedicated to my Power Girl, Donna...

When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,

I all alone beweep my outcast state,

And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,

And look upon myself and curse my fate,

Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,

Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,

Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,

With what I most enjoy contented least;

Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, 

Haply I think on thee, and then my state, 

(Like to the lark at the break of day arising

From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven's gate;

For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings,

That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

HAIL, DONNA, MY POWER GIRL SPOUSE!!!

Here I am again (and without an iota of apology) to praise my gorgeous wife, Donna for another bright bill of health. That's not to say that all is indefectible (hey, who can ever make that claim?), but Donna has achieved progress in ways that others can only imagine or when enmity rears its envious head, deride. 

The cause of dear Donna's success--courage. Some will scoff at that. Donna and I know folks who've belittled, downplayed and ignored her plight, all the while flaunting cowardice as their brazen badge. (Generally, their excuse is some faux, psychiatric label to rationalize their slothful phlegm; meanwhile, they're eager to work under the table and collect off the taxpayer's dime. How bold.) I'm damn proud of my spouse for being an adamant exception to that popular, craven rule: my real-life Power Girl through and through. 

Congratulations, my love, from the bottom of my heart. May this be but another high point in a long, indefatigable series. And to those insensitive shammers itchin' to judge, do us a favor: Go quiver under some dark, slimy rock. Donna WILL continue to reside within the warm winner's circle, pleased that her prize was won legitimately and straight from the heart.
