Good article harrie canarie.
Makes sense, support and love from caring friends will work all the time. Our board is proof of that also.
We have all gained support and a cyber network of friendships, which are increased when some of us can get together.

Thank you for posting!

Ditto here. It's meant a lot to me as well. Particularly being able to meet a few of you in person. I can't imagine I'd feel as positive about things without the people here...
