Sweet Forgiveness!!!!!!

Greetings! With my lap band surgery just 8 days away I wanted to offer my version of reaching out with the "olive branch of heartfelt friendship" to three ladies that visit this board. THEY KNOW WHO THEY ARE! Life long obesity and 24 years of a hellish marriage combined with being some what of a mush made me a man that wears his heart on his sleve. A short time ago I enjoyed the friendship of what I thought to be a wonderful lady here on OH. Sharing our stories was quite enjoyable, at least for me it was! Unfortunatly the wheels fell off along the way and some very offensive remarks were posted on this board that were, lets just say less than flattering. In my view, it is water under the bridge! It would be so wonderful to move forward and begin to acknowledge each other on the board, ONLY,again. Additionally, there were two other delightful ladies that some how became a part of this ugly mess, or at least I thought they were a part of it? In hind sight I was probably incorrect and wish to apologize! I enjoy this board almost daily as I'm sure that most others do too. I'd welcome communication from everyone here in the OH family! Lets share togeather!! In closing I welcome all positive friendships from this board. If thats not possible please please please refrain from posting to this with any further negativities! Thanks and see you on the loosing side Kenny
