For

[Guest guest]

Dear, dear Chrissy,

For someone who feels as bad as you do, and is in as much distress and

pain as you are now, all I can say is that I'm awed by your stamina,

and by the care and love that you have returned to this group day in

and day out. I was telling a prospective new member yesterday about

the uniqueness of this group, and about how the members in the group

were like a family where each cared for the other, (better, even, than

many families I know). And here you are, exemplifying everything I

told this other person. The people among us are challenged each day

by new experiences that other people can't ever understand, yet they

draw their strength from the kindness and concern of others in this

group. And then they give it back, again and again. It snowballs in

proportion to how many give in, and that number never seems to falter.

There have been many members who have gone out of their way to make

valuable contributions to this association, and continue to do so

every day that they can. You're one of them, Chrissy, and it's been

such an undeniable pleasure not only know you as a friend, but observe

the way you treat others here, with concern, love and so much

supportive advice.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are one of a kind.

Your dear friend for life,

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi
