HI DOUG,
WOW YOU JUST KEEP GETTING BETTER AND BETTER
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE WORK ON DAILY STRENGTH. I KNOW IT TAKE SO MUCH TIME BUT IT BRIGHTS MY DAY...ISN\'T THAT A NICE GIFT?....
A GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING.
HUGS
Doug, This site has given me life again. It is such a release to talk to others who understand. I have even told some of my close friends about your site. I hopwe that they visit and can feel the love that is felt here everyday for me. If you do get a chat room set up, will you include simple directions for those of us who are not pros with a computer? That way all of the sites visiters will know how to use it. Thank you for all of your time and talent that you bring to this site. Hotdog
Doug, to you and all the others that have made this site so very wonderful, you have my utmost deepest gratification. I was struggling so bad with all that is happening to me medically and I did not understand a thing about my diseases. Thru talking to others on this site I have now been able to ask the proper questions at the various doctor\'s offices and feel that I am on the road to the proper treatments now and may regain some quality of life again. But even better is that I have met several people who are my lifeline out of this house and I even met one wonderful young lady that lives about 30 min. from me with kids my age and a husband and we met last week and hit it off and are planning to get our families together and it\'s the start of a wonderful friendship. I only had 2 friends before I got on this site. Now I have many and they understand who I am and don\'t judge me for my medically induced shortcomings. It\'s the best feeling in the world. I feel like my life is finally just beginning. I didn\'t feel like I exsisted before this site. I don\'t think you\'ll ever be able to understand the hope that you have provided to everyone with this site. Someday I hope to meet you and shake your hand and say thanks in person. You are all truly gifts from God and angels walking this earth. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul.
THANKS SO MUCH DOUG. THIS SITE HAS BEEN A BLESSING TO ME SINCE I STARTED IN JAN. I\'VE MET SOME WONDERFUL CLOSE FRIENDS ON THIS SITE THANKS TO YOU. I WILL NEVER DISCONNECT FROM IT. NEVER THOUGHT YOU COULD SO MUCH FROM A WEBSITE. THANKS AGAIN. HUGH HUGS, R.
Doug... This site is so amazing to me.... It has helped me through the most difficult time in my life. Thanks to you and everyone else who puts this together for people. May your life be blessed many times over for the blessings your hard work has given mine.
