Oooh, 's Granddad is AS, I'm absolutely sure of it, and his Granddad gives

such a hard time you wouldn't believe it. No sympathy from *that* corner.

No " I've been there, I know what it's like " from him! just had his

birthday, and we were talking about birthday presents. Granddad didn't want to

get him a gift certificate to the book store because he wasn't sure he'd

approve of the books he'd choose. (He's reading Shakespeare at the moment... and

some fantasy, it's true...) ANYWAY, the point of this rant is that just because

someone is AS is no guarantee that they'll get along with another person who is

AS.

Hi Terri,

That's wonderful news that the Arava might be working for you! We all

love to hear success stories. I agree with you about this group being a

blessing, and a great group of friends.

I hope you have a blessed Easter.

Love and hugs,

Carol

What a beautiful poem full of life and love ~ Thank you for sharing it !

God Bless you ~

DSee what's free at AOL.com.

April 26, 2007

Just thought I would share this poem I wrote for a dear friend when

she was critically ill. We lost her less than 2 years later, but she

had 1 1/2 years in between where she could really enjoy life. Her

former husband read this at her memorial. She was a wonderful person.

Dear Friend

It seems I appreciate friends

The older and older I grow

They help when life sometimes

Has too much ebb and flow.

It is not always fair

This life on earth we lead

And friends help us along

In our hour of need.

I've leaned that I cannot change

Many things in life

And that ultimately and ever

I have to deal with strife.

I've learned that illness comes

Without regard to who

Or what a person is

Or anything I do.

The way that I should live

I've learned, is give and take

And giving's the most joyous

Choice that I can make.

I've learned that being alone

Is not something to fear

And that quiet sometimes brings

Peace and serenity here.

I've learned that my family

And friends are what's most dear

And that other things are just

Parts of life we bear.

And you are a dear friend

The best life can bestow

Kind, thoughtful and true

Just thought I'd let you know.

I love you.

Lynda

Love you so....Lea

FRIENDS

Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them,

and tell new friends you never will. Remember, everyone needs a friend, someday you

might feel like you have no friends at all, just remember

this e-mail and take comfort in knowing somebody out

there cares about you and always will. In times of trouble, In times of need, If you are feeling sad,

You can count on me. I will give you a wink,

Until you smile,

give you a hug, And stand by your side.

Sandy

, My name is .

Good for you for becoming stronger. Do not let anything stand in your way. I

myself do not have CMT but I am married to a wonderful man 10 years this past

August who does have CMT. I recall he also was very depressed and as the years

went by the depression only grew. I stood by him and I always will because true

friendship and love come from the heart.

This is a tough disease and I believe with a little courage and hope my husband

can also get only stronger. I am thankful for this site as well because my

husband does not feel alone in his struggles.He knows that there are people out

there who also struggle. I hope you find only the success and happiness you

desire. Always remember the power of positive thinking will only make the days a

lot happier.

Sincerely,

January 24, 2008

i would like to be your friend, I need someone to understand me also, and

most times family just dont understand like we do. I take care of my children

who should be taking care of me but are much to busy for that, all they

can say is mom where, what or how. I live in Bellevue NE. I am 45 and married

to an over the road truck driver who comes home maybe twice a month if I am

lucky, I think its cause of me. But anyway I would like to be your e-mail pal
