10. I so hope you get to feeling better soon

You have been such an inspiration to me these past couple of weeks. I don't know what I'd do without you guys here pumping me up when times are tough. I have many friends offering support, but it's here I can spill my emotions when I can't seem to get those hard words out. It's easier to write them down than vocalize them sometimes.

I have been here at DU a long time, pretty much since it began back in 2001, but never have I ever felt as connected to a group of people as I do now to those in this group. You give me hope and inspiration....and most of all, the strength to carry on the battle against this disease that ravages my wife's body. I wish I could just scoop you all up and hug you, and show you how much you mean to me. When this stuff reared it's ugly head again, it seems like time just stopped. I have spent countless hours trying to understand what is happening, what to expect, and how to go forward. Having others who are going through it, or have gone through it, or have loved ones who have gone through it, to talk to is priceless.

Everytime I light a candle, I think of you. I stare at the flame and give thanks that there are folks llike you out there who care about others, despite your own illness. So you do whatever it takes to get better,and know there is someone out there that you have touched.
