Title: Required Reading...
Post by Donna_D. on Jun 29th, 2005, 8:39pm
As this years convention gets closer, I got a little sentimental (no, Chuck, not MENTAL) about last years convention.  I started reading threads and remembering, laughing and crying, and trying to find the right words as to WHY anyone should attend ANY function with a bunch of people with messed up heads  ;)

I will tell you what it is...

Simply being in the company of those who understand, a true bond, cemented by pain.  Sufferers finally being able to DO something other than send vibes on a message board.  Supporters leaning on each other for strength.  Learning more about our condition, trading tips and tricks, learning the newest breaking medical news, and feeling like you have finally "come home"

For those of you who have yet to make up your mind about attending this years convention in Dallas, read some of the posts at these links...If you STILL don't decide to come...PM me...else I will be at your door with my troll poking stick!

DD

Take a few minutes to read through these threads.  I promise it is well worth it.

Hope to see you ALL in Dallas!

I came to this community lieterally days before last year's convention and vowed that I would make it this year.
For all the reasons posted above.....I will be :)

To add......
Being a sufferer(I hate that term) certainly is not as rough as watching one get hit.....I have been there too and  :'( :'( It certainly does make you appreciate those who stand by our sides a hell of a lot more!

Hugs to all :)

You hold true to your promise. Thanks for posting those links. Difficult reading it, but worth it...Reading DJ's, Drummers, and the others having to witness hits OMG
I need to get home and hug/thank my wife some more!!
Thankyou,
SteCo

Not on MY watch it won't!  LOL


To all those who cannot attend this years convention, we will have your in our hearts and in our thoughts.  I promise there will be LOTS of pictures posted and I am sure a few more tear jerking posts when all is said and done.

There is always next year.  Plan ahead!

[smiley=sayyes.gif]  Post pics!!!

Man - that brings back some memories...  What a year it has been since then!!

I started my job this past week, and I didn't have a schedule until then, so I was unable to plan ahead to get to Dallas this year.  I found out Monday that I would have been able to do it, afterall...  Hate when that happens!!!

I will surely miss all of you, but - always next year!! ;)

Love and hugs
Carrie/Lizzie2 :)

Ok I'm shopping tomorrow anyway since it's my baby Meg's 13th B-day, so I'm going to pick up an extra memory card for the old digi cam while I'm out doing her shopping.
