Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 , This is an incredible email. You know what I love about your husband's letter (besides the obvious upbeat and positive attitude he has)? He says " WE " ! He is taking part in this with you, he is sharing in your efforts and your struggles by making it a team effort. " We will actively detox, we will be able to balance work with school, we, we..... " It's wonderful! I hope you know how blessed you are to have a man in your life with that attitude. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful communication. You have a partner in your journey to health, and between God, our support group, and your husband, you've got a winning team! You will beat this! Hugs, Patty > > This morning I was feeling sorry for myself and my future. It is funny how I go up and down like a rollercoaster. My husband and I were emailing back and forth about my carrer as a Nurse. As some of you know, I had to quit my Nursing classes due to my illness. Well, he doesn't want me to give up on that dream. I don't know where I would be without him in my life. Here is a copy of his last email to me...... > > > " I don't believe this is a long-term curse.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 What a fabulous man! I love his attitude. You are a very lucky woman to have found him and I am sure he is equally as lucky to have found you! Kenda > This morning I was feeling sorry for myself and my future.
