A message of thanks to all of you....

[qannie47]

Once again, I found myself coming back to this forum. And it has occurred to me what all of you in this forum have come to mean to me. I have never met any of you. Yet, I know all of you. This strange connection/kinship, lending support...encouragement. I am struck with the realization of how thankful I am that on many days, most days, I have all of you to come to. I read your stories, contemplate your questions, find answers, and realize that I am not alone. That is such a blessing. All of you are so remarkable. Your strength, determination, faith. Your fortitude. The lengths to which all of you are willing to go to for your children, to not give up, to keep seeking when a dead end is encountered, is so inspiring. Truly, emotional nutrition when my day has not ended well. Then there are those of you whom are suffering personally. You have not given up. I am so thankful to you as well for the courage you have to share your journey. I confess that sometimes, I look around me and see ordinary people dealing with ordinary circumstances, and while I am not judgmental, or resentful, I find myself sighing....and think to myself....you have no idea. It with all of you, that I have found this odd cyberspace family connection that I am so grateful for. So I thought it was so important to acknowledge this. I have a feeling that my own feelings are not foreign to any of you. I sense that. Last, but not least, I end this rather emotional expression, by saying once again, Thank you to all of you. You all are quite extraordinary. Q

I so totally second what you're saying - thank you for saying it better than I ever could! The wonderful people who take the time to post their questions, research, experiences and answers truly have saved our lives from the dark hole we were in 3 years ago. We are still struggling and still have a long way to go, but just the fact that we are crawling forward instead of spiraling down - the fact that we have hope where we were once sinking into the pit of despair - is HUGE! My most heartfelt thanks to you all as well! I pray for God to bless all the folks on this board and that He will grant us a cure for these awful infections and the autoimmunity they cause!

Gannie you said that far more eloquently than I ever could have.

I share in your sentiments exactly!

The group of souls on this forum are the only ones who understand what my daughter and I are going through. We could not have attained the level of healing we now enjoy without you.
