Calabs,
My heart is beside you. I promise to pray diligently for your wife, and you.
Now I must tell you that the LP is exactly the place for this kind of thing and I will tell you why. A while back during my many challenges of my son going to war, illness and other issues, I sent Todd a PM and told him that I wasn't goning to be here for a while because my heart was just to heavy. I was loosing my intrest in the numbers. What he said to me was this, "Don't stop coming, you don't have to talk about the numbers, talk about how you feel." and that is exactly what I did. I began to get many PM's of encouragement and I felt so much love from my family at the LP. It was one of the most overwhelming experiences I've ever had to log on one day and see the many prayers and well wishes. I was simply moved to tears. I guess what I am saying in short, "IT SAVED ME" my soul found so much love and comfort that at this moment, my heart rushes to tears.
Never once did the thought even occur to me that being in cyber space would craddle my heart. I would like to encourage you as Todd did me, by telling you to come as much as you can and blog if you need to or enter into the discussion area. Even during a rough time for me I was able to connect to people that I had yet to know. We have all heard that you don't know people in cyber space, but I guess I have to differ with that, for me, this is my family. Going through that process taught me that even though we all share a common thread of love for the numbers, we also share love for one another.
Now I want to share one more thing with you, I am suppose to log on every other day, I was here yesterday and I just felt compelled to log on today, and when I saw your name highlighted I clicked the link. When I was in the hospital, the doctors said they don't know how I was even still alive, while I was in intensive care, EVERYONE on the ward died, EXCEPT ME!! They said there was no cure for diabetes also, I started off on insulin, then graduated to the pills, now I am no longer taking either. Now to me, God's hand has comforted me with miracles more than once. I believe in miracles, they still happen! I'm a miracle! Finally I gotta say this, for me, being able to log on here today and see your name shinning brightly was a miracle.
my heart is beside you, and I pray that you know, you are not alone,
