Hi everybody,

I seem to apologize everytime I attempt to get the group active again.  I have posted this before but I see some new members who must really think me awful.  If ya'll are still with me, I will try to explain.

Some of you know me outside of OH so you know the story but for those that joined in faith and are left in the dark will try to explain.

Many of you may know that my Tony was sick and on dialysis.  For 4 years, just a year after my RNY surgery, Tony's stage4 Kidney Disease progressed to the point that he was on dialysis 3x a week.  Coupled with the kidney and diabetes, Tony developed other issues that soon became life threatening.  10 months after my surgery, Tony became very ill and could not longer work.  And for the next 4 years I was on the road to first one Doctor then another to a hospital to a clinic 5 days a week.  That is not including the many many 911 ambulance calls and transports and half the nights spent in ER or on the road to Nashville for Centennial hospital stay or Tullahoma hospital stay. 

January 2011 Tony lost his mother and sister within two weeks of each other.  I was the executor of the estate so we had to go to Nevada to take care of the business.  Then in 9 months, October 11 th  I lost my Tony. 

I drove him to California for spreading os his ashes.  then in July, just 8 months later I lost my mom.  Again I had to go out west and take care of her memorial then drive her to Hutchinson, Kansas for burial of her ashes. 

My Journey has basically been full of fast food, no food, no rest and nothing but stress.  My anniversary is 12-03-2007 so as you can see I just passed my 5 year mark. 

It seems that my reason for living is sort of gone, and I am not so sure where to start.  When I received the letter about the survey to keep my OHL status I wondered if I had anything to offer as a leader anymore.  But I took the survey and said I wanted to remain a leader. 

I hope that I can figure out a way to get these messages to you in your email boxes.  For some reason  I haven't figured out how to get the messages to you guys and if you don't check here, you don't see them. 

I will check on that. 

Til then, if any of you receive this could you let me know at my email

[email protected]

or tannis zamora on FB?  Need to figure out how to keep in touch. 

God Bless you guys.
