HEY FOLKS...I have news to share! I JUST received this from Mr X!!! Hello Gail, Here's an attempt at appreciation for the wonderful people who wrote back after reading the "I'm concerned about a fellow list member..you posted for me. May God Bless you for your caring kindness. More to you personally soon, Mr X and Cyber Sis Gail, I am inspired by the responses from the listserve members who replied to your posting for me. P.D. has caused most of them disappointments in their life experiences at least as severe as mine and some much more so. All encouraged me to never give up, a concept I have embraced all my life, but had lost during a few months of self-pity. I thank all who replied for your supportive responses, you have reminded me that it’s time I motivate myself to accept the hand I’ve been dealt, get all the help I can from medicines and Doctors, and to fight for every inch of normalcy threatened by this enemy, P. D. I have hard copies of all your messages and I will re-read them for strength if I begin to weaken again. You are all wonderful, Mr X. -------- I hope we can get our new friend to join the group now that he knows he needs the support from others who know what it's all about. Hard copies of all the messages sent to you are great but the warmth from a quick reply from a cyber sib just might be better! I encourage you to email the group when you feel ready. Your cyber sis, Gail Vass
