Sister to TxTowelie

(117 posts)
Thu Apr 10, 2014, 03:30 PM Apr 2014

I have some news about TexasTowelie:

He's been ill lately, and has been getting medical help. I don't know if he won't be able to post for a while, but I'm hoping he might be able to gain access to this site and see some good wishes headed his way. I am hoping his friends here will send some Get Well Soon wishes and offers of prayer and comfort.

Please understand that I cannot divulge any details about his illness or where he is. But if he can see DU, I bet the warm feelings expressed towards him here will comfort him in his difficult time.

I am one of his sisters, and I'll check back later on this thread. Thank you very much for your kindness in this matter.

Take it easy and get better, bro.

Take as much time as you need to get over it -- whatever it may be -- and don't worry about us not raising enough hell here on the DU in your absence.

Your health is your number 1 priority!

You're one of my favorites, man, I've been reading your shit for years.

So, do whatever it takes to get over it, or recover from whatever has you down momentarily.

We'll see you when you get back.

Godspeed, bro.


To "Sister to TXTowelie", bless your pea pickin' heart for letting us know about your brother!

whether you're posting or commenting. You're one of our Texas correspondents, and I'm vitally interested in Wendy Davis. I'm interested in following the shit-trails of corruption that lead to Texas Republican politicians. And you deliver it in an informative, upbeat, and friendly way.

You are one of the good spirits around here. We need good spirits.

I want the momentum and positive vibes you have created here to be reflected back on you a million times over.

Be well, Texas Towelie.
