Started this discussion. Last reply by Susan B Jun 5, 2012. 9 Replies 0 Likes

thanks for your post on my blog and for sharing about your struggles. it goes without saying that I completely get what you're going through. were you at MDA here in houston or at the orlando branch? it's so difficult to watch the love of your life go through such harsh treatments , isn't it? I don't have much else to say besides: this sucks. Thanks for the friend request. keep in touch -

- What a beautiful family! Your pictures hurt my heart - the love shines forth from them. Your Bob was a very handsome man and you are a very pretty lady. I'm so sorry for your loss.

- I love your eagle signs - how wonderful! I see we're in the same groups (Widowed in 2010 and Born in the 50s) and you could add Long-term illness. There's some great conversations taking place there. Jump into the forum discussions, request some friends, try out the chat room, just immerse yourself in this very special place. I look forward to getting acquainted with you here in Widville.
