    Default My thanks.

    Thank you all so much. I appreciate your thoughts and prayer, smoke and smudges, candles, and strength. Please know that it amazes me and helps me be strong for my children to know people I know so little, care so much. It gives me faith for the human race. You all are amazing.

    We're all family in a convoluted sort of way.....or maybe it's dysfunctional. Either way works I suppose.

    If we can show compassion for moose or deer or rabbits we should be able to show compassion to fellow humans. Skunks I'm not so sure about yet. As long as they point it down wind I suppose.

    It may be virtual friendship but it's most definitely not virtual love.

    It seems that as a part of a whole, each part, no matter how big or small it may be, needs attention from time to time.
    Makes the whole complete.
    I'm sure we have all had crappy stuff happen to all of us, and makes it easier for us to deal our own problems, with to be allowed to help out in a small way.
    Hang in there.

    Do you mean corrugated??

    A few Dysfunctional and a few functional folks here and there and we have a stronger group as a result.

    I believe that there is strength in collective thought. Know that our thoughts are with you and your family I hope it offers that extra bit when you need it.

    Whatever was /is wrong, I hope it gets better or goes away double quick time. The family might be completely gaga, but we stick together and help our own.

    He had a varicies (veins) rupture in his esophagus. He lost so much blood from it that he was in a coma. He had cirrhosis in his liver but then his kidneys shut down. Then he would have been put on the transplant list until they found he was full of cancer. He passed away on the 12th. We just got home today.

    I just checked my mail! Thank you so much for the donation. If you donated, please please send me your address at [email protected]. I really would like to send you thank you cards. The last couple of weeks as well as our flights there and back have been supported through donations. It also helps with surviving all the missed work. Thank you cards are the least I can do so please allow me that. Know that I will pay the goodness forward.

    Glad it got to you OK. On this forum we have what we affectionately call DOC, or Department Of Caring. Periodically somebody will send a little money, or somebody will auction off an item with the proceeds going to DOC. It's just our way to help out or cheer up members when we can. Knowing it got there and will come in handy is really the only thanks necessary.
