((((IDDY))))

For some reason I woke up this morning and you were the first person I thought of - logged on and saw your post and there was your post.

Dearest Iddy

Your strength and generosity defy words. I will miss your incredible insights and am grateful for the help you have given regarding maintaining LC. It has helped so much given that you trid that path so successfully.

Relieved you are not leaving us completely - enjoy all that you know do knowing the impact you have had on each and everyone of us.

Much love and respect.

Iddy,

I thank you so much for your support and kind words during an extremely difficult time in my life.

When I came looking for a way out of the mess I had created for myself, I never expected to have found such a caring, supportive place that would become my soft place to fall. Through all the emotional ,and sometimes impulsive things I said and did, you never judged me...only made me take a real, hard look at myself and my reasons. Though the advice was sometimes hard to swallow, it was always spot on and I thank you for your honesty.

Darling Iddy, you gave me my life back and for that you will always have my love, gratitude, and friendship. You are one of the most generous, compassionate, insightful, courageous, truthful, caring, all around amazing people I have ever had the privilege to meet.

I will write more in an email to you as soon as I am home from my holiday. Right now my H and kids are waiting for me and there is nowhere I would rather be :)

Sunshine and smiles

Iddy,

I can count on half the fingers of just one hand how many people I've met in my lifetime who were selfless and wholehearted givers

Iddy :)

Thank you for confidence and support to each poster who reached out to EAS in their time of need. I will always be thankful for your support to me in my time of need. Your words were a lifeline to me and have remained with me as I find my way through changing relationships within my family. I have felt a sense of calm and steadiness from EAS with your leadership and the compassion and caring that is shown to each of us means so much when you feel you have nowhere to turn. I have the utmost respect for you Iddy and wish you much happiness and peace in your continuing journey. I will never forget your kindness to me, take care and my love to you:)

Iddy, what a surprise to see this. I haven't checked on EAS in quite some time and this is the first post I see. I want to personally say thank you for holding my hand and kicking my rear during my roller coaster rides. You have helped so many in the time you have been the board's CL and have given so much of yourself. Happy Trails to you !!
