THANK YOU...
Mar 17^th, 2009 at 4:49pm

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all of the supporters.

It is not an easy job to watch someone you know and love in torture day in and day out. For some, the suffering has a break, yet it's torture to know that the beast will visit them again in the near future. For those that are supporters to chronics, bless you.

You are all my heroes. May God bless ALL the suporters! And may God bless DJ and Steph for a place to call home.

When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.

being a supporter is tough. mom was mine for years back before we had internet. it must have been horrible seeing her child going through that kind of pain with hardly any information and not being able to help. she spent allot of time at the library and cutting out newspaper articles. it was amazing how she did it without getting scared or upset. she brought me ice water and cold wet towels several times a night and never complained. now my wife brings me the cold towels and ice water but i don't think she handles it as well as mom did. i always hated dealing with the aftermath of an attack when people around you are upset and crying.

I think that deserves a hardy, HERE HERE!!

Ya know, I'll never know when one of my posts ends up being my last here, for whatever reason (anyone notice people are driving like maniacs these days?) and if anything was to be my last post, I would hope it would be on this topic.

When I've read posts belittling or bashing people that were not able to keep on supporting sufferers, sometimes after years of being able to do so, I've always taken a different view of those situations. People that lose relationships because of this disease, and there are many, certainly have my deep sympathy, but, I think by expecting that never ending support, it lessens the heroic support of those that don't run.

I do think that those that stick by us through thick and thin, deserve to be singled out for going above and beyond the norm.

I don't think we can or should expect people to be able to go through this day after day, year after year, without relenting. I think we should praise and honor those that do, as extraordinary souls.

You're not *just* supporters, but lifesavers, and have my deepest respect.

Well put. If my wife hadn't found this place for me I don't know where I'd be today. Supporters rock.

Jackie said everything I felt, so I won't add to it.

I'm just glad we can be there for all of you. I took those vows of "better or worse, in sickness and in health" very seriously 26+ years ago. I know there are a lot of other supporters who take them just as seriously. And being able to support (via the internet) others with the same problem is just an extension of those vows. I've never met such an amazing group of people anywhere else.

We love you all, too!

Reply #7 - Mar 19^th, 2009 at 4:51pm Pat, Just before I saw your post I was thinking how all of the supporters here not only support the CHer in their home but also all of us here. Sometimes I am so humbled by the kind words that I read here. Even if I'm feeling a little alone, I come here and realize that I am not. Thank you all for that! Hugs, Jeannie
