Guest guest Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 , I Agree with you Salute to all with JA, Those who take their time to get involved, Mom's and Dad's to tell of their experience with JA this is what Support is. I also Salute those Mom's and Dad's and Caregivers who struggle each day with JA. Especially all the Kid's with JA. We all are Survivors in some way. JA becomes a Personal Battle, We never know the Reason JA comes into Our lives but we are there for the fighting battle and support of those. We can not go at this alone as this is a way we feel when told about JA. ALL here in this group know what I am talking about and that is why we know each other and do not feel alone. My Hats off to all who have been there and done that and share their stories and experience with others. Georgina Thanks for getting this group going. My Hat's off to Rusty, Tree, Donna, , Michele, , Kathy, Veri, Alia, , Helen, , Val, Issy, e, Jo, , So many to list but to all of you on this list. Next year is upon us and as always we are hoping for a Cure and more research on JA. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Hope, Faith and Love Robbin **************One site keeps you connected to all your email: AOL Mail, Gmail, and Mail. Try it now.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 I just want to salute Donna and Jo, e, and everyone (Georgina), Iknow I'm leaving out many, who give their time and efforts to help kids with JRA. Even if you make a difference in just one life, that is a difference that would not have been made if you hadn't devoted your time and energy. From the bottom of my heart, thanks for all that you do. In gratitude and Merry Christmas, and Rob 19 JAS Re: bit bewildered here > Hello Jo and Bayly...I hope this finds you in better spirits and > Mr.Bayly feeling better.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Hi Ruth, You are so right. There are just so many wonderful people gathered here, in this group. My thanks go to all of them as well, for their support and sharing and friendship through all the ups and downs of having a family member with arthritis. Definitely has made our experience a little bit easier, knowing that we are not alone ... and with the wisdom and understanding that so many here share, unconditionally. Thank you, to all of you, for being here with us. Aloha, Georgina Re: A salute Let me add my salute to all of you here. A salute for being so supportive of one another. I am new here.
