On my B-day!
I was not going to post... but I had to. I feel so truly blessed. Last night for the first time I think my mom finally got it. On the way home I actually shared with her and I think getting to meet you all let her really see what my sis and I are going through. I wanted you all to know what a blessing this group is. I can tell you for sure there are two times this last year I would have attempted to take my life but Shelia and the group and my son... I am here today cause for one, God needs me here, two I could not leave my son or be a quiter. I know now how stupid that would have been. I have never in my life meet people who love so unconditionally. I remember thinking they must think I am a psycho and will kick me off this board... but what I got in my darkest hours was kindness, love, compassion and a will to bless others the way you all have blessed me. The best gift after Jesus Christ and the life he has given me and the son I was blessed with is all of you! I truly mean it. I have had a year that I just did not have the strength to handle but with all of you I was able to see my B-day and I didn't know that I would. My son is amazing and I have realized how stupid I have been because there is so much beauty in the world. I have never felt so much joy, love and strength in my life. And I was not going to say all this but I want you all to know just what a valuable tool this group is, how truly special and unique it is, and how it is changing lives. You don't have to be Oprah or Dr. Phil... through this group lives are being touched and changed. If people want to know WWJD... this is it... you are all doing it... You don't preach, lecture, judge and criticize. If someone is in need you get together and you do the best you can to meet their need. Today is not just my day... it is all of ours because we have been blessed to be a part of something so special. I was honored and blessed to meet those I met last night and look forward to meeting more. I was humbled by all the love and well wishes this week and the b-day messages today. Words can not tell you what they have meant to me... I feel very rich... you are all more valuable then gold... more precious than diamonds and pearls!
happy belated Birthday! I'm sorry I did not get to meet you last night, but we will be at the Lunch Bunch next week, hope to see you there. And you are so right about this group, they are more precious than diamonds and pearls and much more valuable than gold. Without them and the support they give, I don't know where we (Scott & I) would be. Hope to see you next week.

Hi sweetie, it was great meeting you last night. Happy birthday, and what you have said regarding this board is so true. I miss it when I can't get on or too weak to get on. But no matter, this board is in my prayers as I know I am in their prayers.
You hang in there and you will become a loser when God is ready and not until then. I wish you much joy on your day.
Love

I sure hope you are able to come to the Lunch Bunch next Saturday. We all enjoyed meeting you and your mother. You are a sweet person. I wasn't sure if I had met you before... my memory is really terrible... but I kept thinking "she sure looks familiar". Did I mention sometimes I have blond moments ? lol
Anyway, hope you had a happy birthday. Wasn't it beautiful outside today? Hope you and your son enjoyed it together... Take care...
