Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Terry, That was beautiful. You should show what you wrote to Dennis. It's great to have such a friend. You are very fortunate, but I don't need to tell you that. What you went through is a lot. You came out of it a stronger person. Don't sell yourself short, you are a fighter and are determined. If you weren't, then you wouldn't have survived. I have seen miracles happen in the hopsital that I work at. Things that couldn't be explained by the sciences I know, but could only be explained the faith that I have. You are my hero. You came out of this with a light in your words. Your strength shines through in your words. Thank you for sharing your experience. It is through this sharing that we gain strength from each other....Marina > The two years I was developing the computer system > for NY's Attorney General I knew a man that was > my inspiration for the past two years.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 What a wonderful person he must be, and probably is too modest to realized how many lives he must have touched with his sweet spirit. I'm glad you have such a light in your life such as Dennis.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Terry, That was beautiful, and I thank you for sharing it. I have a good friend, too, who has cerebral palsy and is in a wheelchair. He can't speak, so he uses either a computer voice or a letter board. But he has a college education, drives a van, and opened his own business (a bookstore and coffee shop) here in town 5 years ago which is now very successful. We need people like Dennis and to keep things in perspective for us. Judi in Indiana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
