Challis! Your an angel! Im so grateful to be part of

this group. You are a very wise lady! Your strength

and understanding and caring shine right through the

computer screen. When you speak about your mom it

touches my heart. Me and my mom are very close too,I

would be lost without her. We all deal with so much in

so many different ways but what is so amazing is how

we all come together and make eachother stronger. I

would be lost without my family and all you are part

of my family. So you had better get cozy and keep

blessing us with you being here ok! Luv ya

Such wonderful, caring and loving people. Living with

MS and yet our TS/OCD/ADD garners such warmth and

comfort. (Did you know I adore the people on this

list, for their compassion, love and wisdom and so

much more? Oh, I've said it previously? lolol).

that is not 'only' in MS, OCD, AD/HD, but in Bipolar

Disorder, Autism, Diabetes, et al. I look at others

on this list, hearing what they live with, what has

come in their lives, and I marvel at their strength

I was so overcome by emotions after reading what Challis wrote about me. I never think people see me that way. But I know Challis understands what it's like to have the fatigue and all the other lovely stuff that goes along with it. Isn't Challis the sweetest daughter for the things she said, Cassy? I'm glad to hear that you and your mom have a very close relationship too. loveSharon This email is a natural hand made product.

Such wonderful, caring and loving people. Living with

MS and yet our TS/OCD/ADD garners such warmth and

comfort. (Did you know I adore the people on this

list, for their compassion, love and wisdom and so

much more? Oh, I've said it previously? lolol).

sweetest daughter for the things she said, Cassy? I'm

glad to hear that you and your mom have a very close

relationship too.
