Re: Re Lin and : Faith. this is JoAnn

[Guest guest]

Faith just wanted to say that for you and Lin and others that have felt need to stop I am so sorry. As the last thing anyone needs is our family/friends on our back making life harder.

I am most grateful that you even included my name Faith, as I have failed much more than helped anyone. But know many on here are such great encouragers and just a person can feel they care by what they say in an email. So Lin and Faith stay strong, know your loved for yourselves, and even though life is hard, and sometimes harder than need be by any family member or friend who does not support us, you always can come here and know we care, understand and last thing want is for you two or anyone to leave. Many gentle hugs.

Pam and EVERYONE, I agree 100% with Lin. This group and the people in it have helped me more than any of them know. I have been, and still am, going through so much between family and this disease, that I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't had this group to turn to. Most of the time I just read the posts, but that alone has been a life saver. I get almost no support at home and even my drs have no idea what to do with me anymore. With the exception of this group and the few people I really open up to from the group that I talk to A LOT on the messenger, I'm going it alone; no meds, no treatments, nothing. That's why I'm not always here. Sometimes it's just too hard to sit here and try to keep up with everyone and everything that's going on with them. I try to pop in a couple of times a day to see how everyone is doing, but most of the time I don't talk through the group because I don't want to burden everyone here with all of my family troubles. I jump on the messenger instead. There are a couple of people that I talk with, and I don't want to offend anyone here by signaling out a couple of people and not everyone else who has helped me, but there are two of the most wonderful people that I have ever met that I talk with all the time, that without them, I probably would not be here talking to ANYONE today. They literally saved my life. That's how far down I was. They picked me up, brushed me off and made me feel like I have a purpose for living. Thank you Rhonda and Mark. I LOVE YOU TWO! I don't mean to single Rhonda and Mark out and make it sound like they are the only ones who have helped me, because they aren't. There have been A LOT of other people who have helped me also, like JoAnn, Laurie, Amey, Jo, Barb, N.......the list goes on.....but without Rhonda and Mark, I wouldn't have been here for anyone else to try to help me. I really don't think that they quite understand exactly what they have done, and are still doing, for me. I guess what I'm really! trying to say is.......THANK YOU, TO EVERYONE! I am finally starting to feel like I am living again and not just existing. I am starting to look forward to the future and I haven't done that in a long time. So, YES, this group is a GREAT thing, not just a 'good' thing. If anyone ever gets to the point where you just don't feel like talking through the group, that's fine. But please, talk to someone. Get on the messenger or the phone and speak with someone, anyone who has this monster that will understand everything that you are going through. And ALWAYS come on here and READ! That helps so much more than I ever thought it would. You just might be surprised at some of the things you read that will make you say "Hey, that's me today!". That alone will make you feel like YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Most of the time, that's all we need. To see that we are NOT alone in all of this. Wow, I really didn't mean to go on like that. I guess it was just something that I needed to get off of chest. I do feel better for saying all of it though. I hope that everything that I have said will help just one person. If it does, then I guess I will know why I said it. If anyone is still reading all of this and I haven't bored the daylights out of you, lol, I hope and pray that you have a good day, with very low pain. Thanks for listening. I'll get off of the my saopbox now. Lots of love and very gentle hugs to all, Faith P.S. I went back and read this before I sent it and I made myself cry cleansing tears of gratitude. And I did not change one word of this. It's perfect just the way it is. Once again, Thank you ALL from the top of my heart (I didn't bury it at the bottom lol)

JoAnn,

You are a great support and I consider you a sister, as I do with all of you guys on this site, well a few people I feel that they are a brother to me.

Don't worry because I ain't going any where this time. You guys are stuck with me.
