Staying, if you will allow

I had many things I wanted to say when I came here to write this.

I cannot remember any of the words.

I feel have brought dishonor on myself by seeing my honor called into question when none was meant.

I guess I will just speak my heart.

First,

I ask forgiveness for wronging anyone here.

Second,

I humbly ask if I may return to my place here.

Third,

If my words wounded any hearts, I beg forgiveness for the hurt caused. I ask that any bad feelings created be buried deep in the earth and stay there till time ends.

Each of you must decide if you would see me return, or be outcast.

I will await your decision.

I have finished speaking now.

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
