      From aloneandscared October 2

      I hope things are getting better. Try to hang in there you are a very strong person. I just can't imagine what it is like but you've come this far and it must be for a reason.

      From CarolAC173 September 24

      I wish I were there to give you a hug. Ya know, sometimes life just sucks. But you have no clue what your letters did for me and you have purpose in this life...
      I'm thankin' God for you.

    • Well Done

      From tloulou September 22

      Robert, I just looked up your amputation online. My god. I don't know what to say. I didn't even think such a surgery was feasible. I feel so ashamed feeling sorry for myself having lost just part of my foot. But you're alive that's the main thing and I guess you'd be in the ground now without that procedure. You have family around you - you're lucky in that. Someone told me you never really accept what happened but you might just come to terms with it given time. I hope you're doing well.
