Happy New Years
Hi, everyone and early Happy New Years! This time of the season leave you to thinking what happened to yesterday and what will be tomorrow. It is great to look back but we are surely happy to move forward. I would like to propose a question to everyone *****ady my post. Post ONE think you were most proud or happiest about this past year? Did will get you to thinking and you will know you have more than one and that's alot to be thankful for. I am most proud of graduating from college because I am 40 years old and I am the only college graduate out of 8 children and I'm the baby. Now I started it off you all finish.
O, gosh, where to start.....
The things I am most proudest of this year - not necessarily in this order -
1. All the pounds the posties have lost.
2. Meeting and knowing all these wonderful people all around MS and the nation that are the most caring and best folks in the world.
3. The flashes of grown-upness that my 20 year old is showing more and more often - scarey too! And his sense of humor.
4. My husband's remission from colon and liver cancer.
5. My daughter's blossoming into a wonderful young lady.
6. Christine - my posessed hover-round.
7. That God has opened such wonderful doors for me and my family.
I love you guys!!!
Happy New Year!!!
Smooch,
ARlies
PS when ya gonna tell us what your major is?
Congratulations again!
Hi Honey.... I am so proud of you! What an accomplishment!
Only ONE thing??? I am most proud of and happy that I had this surgery. I started the whole thing on April 29 and fought my insurance company tooth and nail and finally won. I am thankful I survived the surgery and feel very blessed that I was ok and I did not have any complications. Its times like these I feel guilty knowing that my surgery was picture perfect and Donna is having a hard time. I pray over and over that she recovers soon and her family can have her back.
I have to do a number TWO --I am most proud that I am a part of this group---without them I would have given up on my insurance after denial #2. They made me fight so I am extremely lucky.... Yall are my second family and I feel bonded to each and every person on this forum.
Number THREE--ALL OF YOU--Thank you Arlies and Kristi (moomoo girl--BTW --- WHERE ARE YOU LATELY) for being good to me and for kicking my butt into gear when I ate sausage on my 7th day post op. You are my heros by far and I dont know what I would do without you.
Thank you Sherry Penn for being you and reminding us that we are all vulnerable.
Thanks to Tammy Shelton for always making me laugh and for fattening up BlackBeard for me so I will have something to eat next Thanksgiving. I love chatting with you and I miss you when you arent around!
Angie B, Jane H, Barbara M, Brenda, Sandra, and Jan--thank you for showing me the true meaning of strength. You have handled the situation with Dr. Blake with grace and taste and I envy you cause I wouldnt have been able to handle it the way you all have.
To Dex--for always thinking of others before himself...
Becky and Andie--thank you for always being so upbeat and positive...
Dr. Gilbert--thank you for not flunking any of my friends and for all of the advice you have given everyone -- you keep most of us sane...
Thanks to Denise, Melissa, Susan and Jimmy for being parts of my local support group--seeing you all does more for me than anything. You are all beautiful and inspirations in your own ways probably more than you will know!
To Jo, RL, and Lynn--- thanks for giving each other so much support. You all are a great family to each other and it reminds me to be supportive of my family whether or not I agree with them or not.
To Vickie Rogers--thank you for getting approved by BCBS of MS--You have paved the way for a lot of folks. Thank you for sharing what you know about them and for the guidance...
Miss Kitsy--You make me laugh with your pity parties. Youve had a rough year and pulled thru it--its been tough but you are strong and I envy you for your courage.
Glenda --you are beautiful and I can only hope in a year I come as far as you have!!
I know I missed someone--I always do but I love you all and am very thankful to have you all!
