Happy New Year Maryland
I think your name should be spelled Jewele, because you are a jewel. You are a kind, encouraging, generous, non judgmental girl. You answer anyone and every ones post with sweet, up lifting words that makes us feel like we are all your friend! It's amazing how you have a real concern and open heart for all who know you in person or who know you in words! Even though 2009 was a very trying and emotionally draining year for you, you always had time for the board, and all those in need of advice or just a simple hello! May 2010 be the year of and for Jewel. May this year bring peace and health to your entire family. May your Mother find that special peace she is looking for, and if all else fails, may you hold the winning Lottery Mega Million
TICKET!!!! LOL Keep Well, and thanks for being a friend to everyone!!! xo, Leslie:)
Leslie, Thanks for the kind words. I try very hard to keep upbeat and positive even though at times I feel like sitting on the floor and crying. I have been judged for so long and I try hard not to judge others. When I came to this board I was out to learn all I could about WLS. I have learned so much and have found some great people here. I try not to be on any ones side and I try to treat everyone equal. That is how my Mom raised me. At times I feel sad to see the divison on the board but I can not change what has happened in the past between others. I just hope that we all can get along and realize life is so short. I truly appreciate the support and encouragement I have got here. I also want to say thanks for thoughts and prayers for my Mom and family.
This has indeed been a hard year for me. It is so hard to watch a loved one suffering and see their life slowly slipping away. It is heartbreaking as I am sure many of you might know. If not get prepared because the time will come and it wil hurt so badly.
You can bet if I hit Mega Millions there are so many here I would help and I would enjoy every minute of it too.
I wish for all peace, health, love and kindness for 2010. I hope all can learn to forgive and forget and show compassion for each other. After all isn't this board for support and encouragement?
Love you Girlie. Hope you have a great 2010.
