Guest guest Posted September 16, 2001 Report Share Posted September 16, 2001 Yes, utterly selfish - that's me. I need this group desperately. Don't other people feel this way? I need it to mourn the slow loss of the one I love. And to laugh in the face of the stupidity of the disease. And to say the scary, angry things that no friend or family can hear or understand. To be afraid of where I'm going and where my husband is going-places, yes, yes Lewyland, that I've never dreamed of. Why are we fighting over a stupid political disagreement? Did we ever think that we were all alike? All the same religion, race, politics. When I first joined someone said, totally innocently, that why was it that this disease took the best and kindest people. And I thought, but didn't write: " Well, I don't belong in this group. I'm not kind or good and neither is my husband " But I hung in there and tried to add my pessimistic, sometimes negative, sometimes quirky, viewpoint. And when people responded I knew I wasn't alone. And I don't want to be alone with this disease again. I need every single one of you and I don't care if we don't agree. Imelda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
