Ok, yesterday I took a ride on my Harley to see what God had in store for me. And WOW did I have an awesome day... I have to say tho that the first 50 miles all I could think of was my Al-anon family and how much you all mean to me...
In my prayers yesterday I could not thinking of:
Jerry... how you are always there for a kind word and great honest ESH, the kind that I have to read 3 or 4 times just for it to totally sink...lol.. Sorry I'm Slow Jerry :) But I do pay attention. You always seem to know, just what to say...
Dave... For coming back to the boards, and sharing such hard ship, ,but showing me the light at the end of the tunnel, the inner peace that you have found, and the steps that you took to get were you are. You are an inspiration to many...
Betty.."Hotrod" :) What can I say about you... You have always givin me that Extra push, and you do it with such grace, and care... I learn so much from your kind words, and even after all you have lost to this disease, you still manage to come here and give the rest of us your unconditional love... :)
Suz... For speaking from the heart, and with such grace and caring, I'm glad you found your way back...
Robin... for sharing your life with me, and your stuggles.. And for helping me get over the humps we all know as the "a's" in our world. I enjoy our IM's always...
Rosie... For coming and sharing your pain, and your heart ache, and yet still finding time to give us your ESH from what you have learned in your life. Thanks for coming back Rosie...
Tonya... for taking it One Day at a time and sharing your struggles and being kind to others...
I haven't put you in any kind of order, I just wanted you all to know that I prayed for you all, and everyone on this board... You all have been so good to me, and you ALL have taught me so much... I can be nothing but grateful. One that I was lead to this board my SIL Ms. Shelly, (Most grateful) and that I have found so many friends and family alike that "Get Me"...Which is not always an easy thing to do...
Too all you new comers...KEEP COMING BACK... You will change your life, if you just give it a try...I don't know were I would be if it weren't for all of you...Here... I was quite a mess when I first lost my Afather this past Thanksgiving, and I am slowly learning to let go of the anger, and except that he did the best he could... I know that now... And tho it isn't an easy thing to learn, I know that I was led here by a power greater then myself... And to me... You are ALL Angels from above...
Mahalo Nui (Thanks much) for the prayers Jozie I can always use them and I think my HP encourages others to do the same for me. LOL My heart just sunk when you said Harley. It's okay I didn't cause it, can't control it nor can I cure it. Of course that would have to come from a Honda man. Would like to ride again but all of the necessary parts such as eyes (both) and ears (both also) are not as keen as before. I can only imagine Josie and her Hawg!! awesome.
I remember so well your loss, so near to my own father's death too.
You are living proof of walking, talking, sharing, and having the courage to change oneself.
I am privileged to be a part of that journey of yours, however small a part it's an honour to be along side someone in there time of need. And I thank YOU from the bottom of my heart for your prayers.
Never will I ever turn down a prayer...such a powerful thing to know that you are being prayed for.
I continue to pray for you and the rest of the wounded family.
Suz
