Hey there, This site has been such an eye-opener for me. You think you have struggles in life until you see what someone else goes through. I don't post much, but I do read all the threads and gain alot of valuable IBS information and life lessons along the way. You are an amazing group of people and I hope you realize that each of you has influenced, touched or inspired someone in your own way.
You are so sweet to go out of your way to post this, I think that's really nice. I am so glad that you have managed to find helpful stuff here - I think that is so awesome. I know this site was such a lifesaver for me when I first found it.
Shell, I don't want to say I hope you made it through this weekend because I know you WILL. You are so strong and i know you won't let anybody get you down.
Michelle, I feel for you everyday. I wish that something or someone could take the pain away. Bad things happen to good people and it is sooo not fair.
Casey, I have lost a significant person to cancer as well. I hope you know how many people around the world are mourning for you and your father right now.
Nelly- your humour will not take the pain away but it will always help you through. You make me laugh so much!
Stephie, you aren't around much and I am afraid it is because you are scared to post about your hard times. But we are here for you and you should lean on us whenever you need to because you have done the same for so many others.
Aw, thanks. I do try to lurk around quite a bit to read up on everyone else, but sometimes I do feel not quite up to posting about myself. Things have been really hard right now and I am sort of living day to day. Once I feel up to it, I will consider doing a big update post but I'd like to wait 'til I have a little bit more good news to brighten up the not-so-bright bits. I am okay, though, and I really appreciate the support!
Carol M.- how many hospital visits is that now? your humour lights up the boards and I hope you find stability soon.
Everyone else- I hope nobody feels excluded the main post applies to everyone who posts on a regular basis. So there is my one shot deal at telling you how much I appreciate your information. Some things might seem silly and insignificant to post but you never know how they might make somebody's day!
Thanks again for this post, what a nice offering to everyone out there on the boards. You did brighten up my day, and I really appreciate it!
**hugs**
Steph
