Thanks (big time)

[JC1]

Ok, I admit to being a sentimental slob. It's Thanksgiving, and I know that holidays can be rough times for survivors for a variety of reasons. But I don't think it is ever a bad time to express gratitude for kindnesses done. I say that to my family for the way they are managing to 'survive my surviving' . And I express gratitude to the men here for just being here. One of my greatest fears came from being brainwashed to think that if I ever told, people would walk away and judge me forever. The men here proved that was a lie. And gratitude as well to the Mod who confronted me when I needed to be, and then stepped up to help me move forward. Just thanks.

Thanks for all the help you've given me, too.

Thank you for being so open and vulnerable in sharing. It helps so many in ways you might never see.

Your sharing here has helped many, myself included. So, thank you also!

I too am very thankful for MS and that I accidentally found the site. I had never heard of it. Also for all of you here. Truly brother survivors who care for one another. One sees it often when someone is struggling and the tremendous outpouring of genuine concern and support. I have personally experienced this in my time of need and it meant a lot to me. Take care.
