Dear friend. I'm so glad to be able to call you friend even though none of us want to he on this journey I could not imagine being on it with any others. I echo your feelings of support education and compassion I have found through so many on here and am forever grateful to have found this site and my second family. Love you all and hopefully you and Katelin will be dancing in the rain together

I have alot to be thankful for this year and one of the things I am most grateful for is this group and all my friends here. I can relate to everything you said Cardinal I may not be where I want to be either but I am in a much better place than I was and I can thank you all for helping me along the way.

Happy Holiday's to all.

Hugs,
Pat

Actually it's I who should be thanking you Kim, and every other soul on this site, for not only your open willingness to share but your insight and frank honesty into this horrible disease. It has and continues to separate and rob us all from our loved ones. But united together we can stand strong to keep the light of hope burning bright so that someday they will find their way back...

Thank YOU Cardinal, it is as if you are with us, holding our hands, giving a pat on the back or hugs, bringing tea. This is the place to come for empathy, honesty, and nonjudgmental straight talk. I have no one else I can talk to this way. There is a special kind of rapport that comes from those who have walked the walk.We all need each other.
