Hi Everyone

[Guest guest]

I want to thank Dominie and Heidi for the honor of being asked to

help moderate this wonderful board. It's wonderful that we can all

join together to share our stories, questions and advice in our quest

for a better quality of life.

I live in the Orlando area and am a 44 year old year old mother of

three children ages 23, 21 and 19. I actually just lost my 23 year

old son Garrett two months ago as many of you know and I found out in

these moments of unbearable grief and shock how wonderful and loving

the members of this board really are. Many of you reached out with

cards, letters and phone calls to let me know that you were praying

for me. I was so blessed to receive such an outpouring of support and

love. Thank you all for your prayers and friendship. They have meant

more to me than you know.

That is really what were are all here for isn't it? We all share a

common bond and a similar goal.... to reach out and find friends that

we can lean on during our times of need. FMS is something that most

people do not understand, even if they think they do. That is why it

is so crucial to have a safe place we can all come to share our

stories, questions and concerns...and most of all to just be here

for each other so that no one has to walk this road alone.

I look forward to getting to know you all better.

Blessings,

Cheryl
