Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Yes Louise, I remember that Beatles song...I loved all the Beatles songs. You are right in saying It won't matter to him if he truly loves me...and He is NOT shallow minded at all. You women are so blessed to have a mate to lean on in your bad flare days... and just someone to share life with. It's been exceptionally hard on me going through this alone..... ( RA ) Not to mention raising 4 girls by myself. While the girls were at home I could cope with it better cause we were always doing things and my mind didn't dwell on it so much....Being alone I feel helpless, insecure and if I don't watch myself...I start wallowing in that pity pool. Gosh!!! Louise....Shut me up right now...Looks like I'm about to fall in it now.....My knees have been hurting more than usual today...Maybe that's it....Anyway Louise Thank you for your advice...You're absolutely right. Gail [ ] Gail Do you remember the Beatles song When we get older? You know the one that says;When I get older losing my hair many years from now. Will you still need me, will you still feed me when I " m 64.etc. Tell him what is going on with your body. If he truly loves you he won't give a damn what you have. We have no guarantees of what life will throw at us along the way. My husband and I have been married for 21years and when I was first diagnosed he said that we would fight it together.=) Louise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Gail, Hi there. Well I know that everyone has written to you about telling your friend about your RA. I had to write and tell you that I do agree with them. I have 3 friends that became widows at young ages. One girl was in her 30s, one in her early 40s and one in her early 50s. Now I hope that I don't sound too morbid but I just wanted to make a point and tell you that no one knows what life will bring them. These girls never expected these horrible things to happen in their lives but unfortunatly it did and life does go on. Now maybe you probably never thought that you would be in a position that love would find you again, but it has. Now is the time to be stong and have the talk with him about your RA. I bet that he probably will be so understanding and you will have worried for nothing. Good luck. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
