Thank you.I just about wanted to cry because your

post just made me feel more like I belonged than I

really have so far I guess because I can tell everyone

already knows each other and in many cases seems like

yall have met. Thank you so much you can never know

how much those words meant. How much everyone on this

line has meant. God Bless Everyone and please know I

will never be able to thank everyone enough.

Thanks,

Reah - oh sweetie. YOU BELONG! I consider everyone here my friends -

whether I have met them or not! That means you too. Okay? You

are not in this alone. Jodi wrote you such a beautiful post - I

guess I missed all that?? (probably dealing with my children

<grin>) Anyway, I agree with Jodi - you feel free to vent, ask

questions or whatever - WHENEVER!

Hugs to you.

Reah, I'm late here on this too. You belong just as much as anyone. Like I

said in my other post was diagnosed RSS and then I was told no. I felt

that I didn't belong but realized that I started friendships and caring so much

for everyone and their families and I have some of the same problems with

with eating, gaining and growth. I have only met a few of the people here on

the site.

You sound like such a sweet and caring person and a wonderful mom.
