I feel now is a good time to bring this up because there is an awful lot of need for prayers for many of our members. As you all know my family has gone through some rather stressful months and through this time I know that I was leaning to the "why us stage"! I never lost my faith that things would work out but I am not sure how long I could have carried that faith without you all!

You ladies will never know just how much you have done with your words of kindness and prayers and everything. I know that for one thing without you all I could have very easily given up hope myself, instead when I saw all that you ladies did for Akiva my strength and faith grew day by day!

I find it hard to put words to how much I appreciate you all for everything. The caring and friendship from this group is so overwhelming.

Easily I could have listened to those who said Akiva would never make it, or to those who said that she would be nothing but a disabilty... but instead I took the glory and warmth and hope from you all and loved every moment that our little one has given us. Sure there will be obstacles to overcome with her but knowing that we have made it this far... I am sure that there is very little that we can not face.

I just want to say that sure it is easy to say never give up, but until I faced this I never realized just how much that statement means.

Thank each and every one of you... You are all so very special to me!

Love, Lor

Ah Thanks Bernie and Mac! You know all the ladies on this board deserve a pat on the back and a big applause for being so very caring! It is just so amazing especially because some of you I have met and others I have not and yet feel a close bond with anyhow!

I dare anyone to say well these are not real friends they are just net friends... I have found that many of my friends in true life have not been as caring about others as you all have. Yes a true bond!

Hugs, Lor

Lori, you stated exactly how I feel about my Board Family! When Bart was burned last summer, I was in such a state of "scaredness", don't know if that is a real word, but it is just how I was feeling!

And everyone on the board was there for me and Bart! All the cards, prayers and good feelings helped me and especially Bart get through our tough time.

And yes, we ARE here for each other! Why...it's simple...BECAUSE WE ARE FAMILY!

Love, Char

Lor,,,,, good job, hope that things continue going good for you, I know with some of my troubles and then look at everyone elses, mine seem so small, but we need to keep the faith in God and the help and prayers from others, Sometimes the out come isnt always what we wanted, or prayed for. But we must never give up. This group has helped me in so many ways, and yep,,, your one of them,, hugs,,,,,,,Pam

Pam I guess we all do as family does... be there for each other as much as we can.

Isn't it great though that you know that if ever you need a shoulder to lean on or a ear to bend that you have a few dozen here waiting to be of use.

Tis so Great!!

Hugs, Lor
