Hi, I want to thank you and your son for all the work you both have put into the making of this board. You have provided a place where we folks can come and read, learn, discuss and interact with others concerning our Loved One's. Thank you once again.
You are very welcome. This has been my therapy. And isn't life strange? My son used to call from California once a week, or maybe once every two weeks. We'd talk for an hour, and that would be it until the next phone call. Since we have been collaborating on this project, we have been e-mailing back and forth sometimes 10 times a day, and on the phone at least twice a week. It has also given him an insight into his Dad's illness that he never would have had otherwise. joang
Joan, Let me add my congratulations and thank's for the "New and Improved" message board. Will you be able to incorporate the threads from the old message board to this one or will we have to begin new topics? DickS
Joan, I must add my thanks. There is nobody who can understand what we are going through like another spouse. This has been and will continue to be a wonderful support system.
I won't be able to incorporate what everyone wrote on the old boards, but later on today, I most likely will list discussion topics from the old boards, so people can more or less pick up where they left off. I'll do "loneliness", drug trials; - things like that.
Thank you sooooo much for the new and improved message board. I really appreciate you and all the work you have put into this project. This board is actually an answer to my prayer. Although I don't post everyday (right now I have a house guest...my sister visiting from Fl.) I read everyone's posts and really appreciate the organization the new board has. GREAT job, well done! Is spell check going to be added later? Just wondering. Thanks again.
Thank you to Joan, for creating a comfortable place for me to come to vent. I have been in a real strange mood today. I don't belong to a support group outside my home & really don't think I ever will. I have learned so much since joining this forum. One of the best things was when husband is upset, just walk away. A few months ago I would try to reason with him or tell him he was not being logical. Boy! that was always the wrong thing to say. Even though I haven't felt very calm today, most days I am more calm. I still eat rolaids almost everyday, but not as many. lol
I want to add my thanks to the above. I am so glad your son is working and helping you with this. It is so important for families to "stick" together in everything and especially during trials that every family faces, be in AD or Parkenson or Cancer, etc.
I just had a moment of terror. For some reason the post of Sept 3, 2007 came up as new. As I read the board every day I wondered how I had missed the new board. The comments were so positive (as well they should). I felt like Rip VanWinkle waking up from a long sleep while the world continued on. You better believe I will check the date from now on.
This forum is my lifeline. I know how difficult it is to keep something like this working especially for an individual rather than an agency, company or group. Thank you.
