Hi Friend
Friends who never meet,that is what we are!!!!but were would we be with out each other,reading Sarah,s post I have come to the decision I do not know how I would have managed with out this site.
We know there are a lot of people who do not post,but look in,i did to begin with looking for answers,and wondering how other people coped,only when i realised this site was helping me,and therefore I in turn should try to help other people ,i started to post.
We see people coming on this sight,never to be heard again,were have you gone!!!!
Others who have posted,for sometime,then posted no more!!!
People like Tom Perkymite and others in remission,or Carers who have lost there partners and still go out of there way to help and offer comfort to others.
We might never meet but I think of you as a friend.Eve

How very true. I think this site puts your own problems into perspective, and, sometimes, you realise that things could be a whole lot worse 😉 😀 .

Kindest regards – Vasbyte

Hi Eve and whoever else is out there in cyberspace.
Its rather sad that it has taken a dreadful disease to bring us all together, but without it, we would be blissfully unaware that there is always someone out there who can chivvy us along when we are down, sympathise when things are not going as you would like them to, or just lend an ear for someone else who is at the end of there tether.
We have a common purpose and like a pride of lions we look after one another in cyber land.
Thank God, because no matter how good or near your family are, its nice to 'get it off your chest' knowing there will be no recriminations for thinking you have had enough, or wanting to give up, or just being tired of not having the life you had imagined, or had your life interrupted for what seems like an eternity, by MM.
Our cyber friends give us hope and the incentive to keep going. When Like Sarah our friends are suffering I find it remarkable that I wake up thinking of someone I barely know, and wondering how they are.
Remarkable and resilient people.

Eve,

I agree with everything that you have said. Everyone on here has helped me so much over the last 3years and probably without really knowing it because I don't post that much. I always pop in to see what's going on with everyone and class you all as my friends 🙂

I agree with you too David, makes me realise how 'lucky' I am at present.

Take care,love n hugs Lorraine xxx

Hi Eve and all

What you have all said is so true. This site has been my lifeline for a long time for which I am very grateful. Like David says it also puts your problems into prospective. I hope you are all well and hope Slim and Peter are feeling better.

Love Jean xxT

The thing is we never know, perhaps we will never, ever know just how important we all are to other people on this site.

Life experience has taught me that sometimes the most irritating off the wall comment or observation perceived by most of us… can speak clearly, concisely and directly to someone else…

There are certain people here that comfort me beyond measure… there are people here that literally light up my life when I see them happy and/or positive about something in their lives.

I love this board… and the respect, admiration and comradeship I feel for its contributors is parallel to and in some cases a good measure beyond most of my friends and family… as a matter of fact I am proud to declare that you are all an extension of my family.. with all that that brings. xxx

Dai.

I am blubbing now you lot!!!!!!!! I sit here in the middle of the night/early morning and catch up with all these posts, and feel so privileged and lucky to have so many people to chat to, moan to, share fear with, take from and give too.

A brilliant post heading Eve but you owe me a box of tissues:-( Gill xx

PS to Sarah please keep in touch with us xxxx

[eveParticipant]

Hi Gill
I know what you mean when you say privileged ,I am not religious ,but i do thinkwe learn so much about life in times like these.
No one wants to go on this journey,but in many ways it is not only a learning curve but it puts life in perspective,and in turn enriches it.

Fifteen years ago i started another journey.My grandsons,again a journey not chosen,So much heart ache for my daughter and family,but what comes out of that journey,love respect and a great deal of understanding,which in turn makes me a better person.
No one want,s to go on this journey,but you can gain so much out of it and until people make this journey no one will understand,that is why all of this is so important.

My best wishers to you all Eve

Dear Dai and other sufferers
What you say is all so true, My family read this site and get much from it, apparently more than they get from me! I feel I have known all of you forever and am sharing your lives, becoming better informed about mm and how to cope with it
Sarah you and all the other carers ( I know you hate the word but you do the action) you are inspirational and at the moment my heart goes out to you
Helen
