Title: my best mate
Post by benj on Jan 21^st, 2004, 12:07pm

I want to thank Mel for loving me and supporting me through all my clusters. I know it's not easy for you to see me in pain but everytime you wake up with me at 3am and wordlessly get me an ice-pack and strong cordial (for the Imigran nasal sprays), the stroke my hand until I wrestle myself to sleep (about an hour later) I appreciate it.

Then in the morning when you get dressed for work and don't ay a word to me about the lack of sleep - I notice the love sweetie.

*****

I know you cry for me and the pain I have to go through, and I know that you would do anything to take the pain away. I know you can't, but just having you here with me and saying those things mean so much. Thank you babe, I love you.

And to all you fellow CH suporters out there - keep up your good work. We know it and we love it.

excuse the back to back posts....

But I just happened to think how amazing it is....that something as painful and disruptive as CH is.....it brings people so damn close together.

I think of the absolutely fantastic supporters and sufferers we have here. I think of how a brother or a sister is in need......they can post, and right off the bat we are able to "hear" signs of distress. Some of us thousands of miles apart.....but we "hear" the call.

I don't understand CH.....and I try not to question why it happens to such good people.

I do know for a fact, that CH has brought us all together.
I am thankful each and every day.....for this family.

To those of you that I didn't say "I love you" to today, I will say it now.

I love you....all my CH brothers and sisters :-*

Thank you for being here....

Jean

I know Jean - look at what's happening to Thomas right now - three pages (and counting) of good vibes and positive thoughts (from the newer guys like myself) and offers of phone calls, bbq's and shoulders from you closer guys. It's amazing.

I am so happy I am able to write into this site and pour out my feelings, be it good or bad, and even though I've never personally met another sufferer, I already feel part of a wider network of ears and people with GOOD advice!! ;;D

Lots of love to everyone, yeah - what Jean says.

babe

its taken me to today to reply but I do read this almost every day (even though I know that crying at work isn't really a good plan).

thank-you for your post. I can't express how much it means to me

I know that you appreciate everything I do. I would and will continue to do anything in the world if it makes even the slightest bit of difference to your pain.

I love you with all of my heart baby
we can get through this
