I wanted to tell all of you just how THANKFUL and GREATFUL I am for you. Without ever having personally met any of you on this forum you have all helped me more than words can express. I will be forever thankful for each and every one of you.
During this holiday season and time of giving thanks... I want you to know you are HIGH ON MY LIST of things I am truly Thankful for.....
Much Love to All

Re: High On My List
My sentiments exactly! This group has become the one place where I can be vulnerable, over emotional and sound corny even . I know I will not be judged and will be understood.
Very thankful to have found you all.
Love,
shobha

Re: High On My List
Thank you Susan...I feel the same way. I woke this Thanksgiving morning and before I got out of bed I said "Praise God from whom all blessings flow......" We have much to be thankful for!
Happy Thanksgiving.

Re: High On My List
This group is why I consider having breast cancer a blessing of sorts. If it weren't for the cancer, I never would have met the wonderful people here at the forum. I am thankful for all of you.
