Thanks and appreciation

I finally had time to read some of the past posts today since I can have a laptop in the room and do not have to go to the lobby like I did at St V's.  I would only leave the room long enough to post an update.

I really feel sad when I read the posts about some hateful things someone has been saying on here.  I just felt I needed to say:

I honestly do not know what I would have done without my friends here at OH.  It has been a very scarey lonely time for me the last 3 weeks and your posts from all over the US, calls, cards, gifts and prayers have meant the world to me and my family knowing I have such great friends that are just a phone call away.

We think we have our lives all planned out and in just a minute it can all change.  In fact I have no idea what my life or Lyn's will be like...have no idea what his health will be, no idea if I will have an income after this week, no idea if I can take him home eventually or not.  I just no that as many of you have told me I just have to take this one day at a time.

I also know from reading many of your trials and troubles the last few months that we are definately not alone in our trials of sickness and struggles.  I think this is what pulls the OH family together even more because most all of us have been thru many of the same struggles or something similiar or know someone who has.  It has been so helpful to me to draw strength from all that you all have gone thru.

I honestly hope and pray noone has to go thru this.  I know there must be a reason.

Whoever this person is has no idea what health problems are apparently.  Just know for you Kim, please do not listen to this shallow person.  You have inspired me being so sweet and positive in light of what you are going thru.  And as far as everyone else here who has been having problems, I thank you all for the inspiration you have given me.  Your stories of faith hope and healing have brought me thru many dark days.

Bottom line--I love you friends and your love care and concern and mostly faith and prayers have helped so much.

Love  Terry

Terry, your strength is an inspiration to me and many others. Hang in there and keep us updated on both you and Lyn. I worry about you as much as I do him. We love you too!

Terry, You are such a blessing in my life.  You have given me so much strength and made me want to be a better christian everyday.  I pray for you and for Lyn daily and have grown in my faith thru this experience.  God is with you and he loves you.  Know that and don't forget it. 

As for the nasty person trying to destroy our OH family, I am not worried.  I have prayed about it and God has more power than anyone that is full of hate.  We just need to go forward and love each other and support each other.  That will help us get thru another day and pull closer as a family.

Please post often now so we can say hello and keep in touch.

Huge hugs,
Tracy

Terry, we all love you and Lyn very much.  Yours is a story of faith and love.  You are an inspiration.
