but who cares if i'm a day late. I'm still going to tell you guys what i think of you.
The last time i posted i was in a panic and literally on the edge of giving up. I got through it, and i've gotten through many other 10's since then. I'll be going through many more before they're gone. I'm still here fighting. I know, not another mushy thanksgiving post, but too bad. I have to while i can. So decide now if your going to read further, it's going to get long.
I'm thankful for finding this site, and for DJ who gave us all a home to find each other and help each other. I'm very thankful for my GH, my one true heart, I wouldn't be here now without you. I'm thankful for friends i've made and for everyone that has sent me encouragement and prayers since i've been here. I'm thankful for Bob P for the work he's done for the ouch website and his pic page he made for us. It really is a gift to get to be able to see who we are talking to. Thank you jonny for finding me when i'm gone, and dragging me back each time I think i'm better off going it alone. I'm not better off alone. Piper and you have been good friends i'm glad i've made. Riccardo thank you for your kisses and kind encouragment you give. You really are a big brother to me. Margi thank you for showing all of us what support really is and how it's done. Sailpappy and Elaine you are an inspiration to me. I can't go through a day without thinking of you both and praying i can be as strong. Dennis thanks for the smiles and the laughs you give me from your posts. The same to Terry S. for yours that have at times made me think, and encouraged me. Thanks to everyone who has come here and reached out to help someone. Each chance we do this makes a difference to someone. Everyone who has put in time to promote and help OUCH really needs to be thanked. The best way to thank them is to join. They are doing it for all of us.
I've said this before, and i will say it here again. You all are like family to me, and i mean that.
