Just Checking In
I have been thinking about you and wondered how things are going. I finally went to the forum yesterday and wrote a little about Dennis. I procrastinated doing it as I found it a little depressing whenever I would read about a PALS that had passed. I decided that I really needed to write something and now feel better that I did. A lot of people on the forum don't know me the way they do you as I usually chose to write private e-mails. I had a couple of judgmental comments made to me when I first joined the forum and decided I didn't need to be attacked. I had enough to deal with and didn't want to cope with any negative energy.
I know now that most of the people on the forum are sincerely caring and I am glad they are there for all of us. I love the fact that they have a place for us to talk about our loved ones. It was a great idea. The forum just keeps getting better and better!
Paty, I feel my life parallels yours in many ways. We have so much in common as far as our 2 kids, a grandchild (mine and Dennis's 2nd being born 12-4-08, 3 weeks before he passed), and hard working husbands who became ill and had to endure this cruel disease finally finding peace with our Lord, but leaving us alone.
Please stay in touch and hopefully one day we will meet. Love, Boots (Lyn)
