This sounds like it is only for the sixth grade- actually he has not
been able to attend school since second

Ditto what she said....I couldn't say it any better.

Well said and a me too.   You enjoy the doing and giving and this is the
internet and a person just has to throw away what some people say and do.
Because what they say and do does not change what you intended to do or the
reason you do it.
    I worry that you might not be able to continue to do it because of the
cost and how you would feel about that situation.   Please let me tell you
ahead of time that you are cared for and that I feel lucky to just get a
reply on the internet which is enough for me.   There are good things that
come into a persons life all the time if we only look to see them and they
are enough to make life worth living,,,, no matter what life or the world
deals out to a person there is always hope,,, true friendship and the love
of people around us.
love

Thank you all for your responses. You are all so kind. You said many good
things that I don't feel I deserve. I am just doing what the Lord is telling
me to do. So I don't feel any of the credit is due me but him instead.

You all will still be on my mailing list for as long as I can afford to do
it. Unless I get post or email saying you don't want to be on it.

I really don't like to take credit for doing something that I feel I am
being directed to do though. You are all kind in doing so though.

Rose, yes I know how it goes. I already had one person I usually send cards
tell me they felt like ending it all the day my card came in and because
someone showed them they cared it make them decide some did care and decide
to try to fight it some more. It was not someone from this group another
group I am on. So I felt that I was directed to do this from then on in. I
know how I feel when I get a card or note in the mail. So I just wanted to
return the favors. I can't do much else. So this keeps me going.

No M, It was not anything anyone said or did or posted or emailed. Just me.
;-)

By the way when I was reading what you posted, did you feel the smack up
side the head. Man you have done way more than I ever could, so I rather me
grow up and be like you. You are already empathetic, graceful and caring.
You don't need that for Christmas when you already have it. I love you all.

I agree...I wanted to put my name on the list and said the I did not
know if I could send some out or not.  But I was told it was ok and to
put my name down!  That meant a lot to me!

Fortunately, I was able to send cards and I had a great time doing it!

Harv and Rosie,

Thank you.

Hey Rosie that is great that you are finally getting some meds again.

I have been lucky about the cards. Some stamp elfs, have been at times
sending me stamps so I can keep sending out cards. I still have quite a few
cards left from before Jim got layed off. So that keeps me going for now.
;-)

I hope the meds help you get your hands back. That is horrible. I feel your
pain.

Your welcome Margaret,

Thank you so much for the kind words. Those also mean so much to me.

When I got these illnesses, I felt like my life was over. Then I felt like
the Lord directed me to the support groups and then the card ministry. I
felt that is what he had in mind for me since I had to give up so much of my
life for these illnesses. So it does me as good as it does for those that
receive them. I feel like my life is worth something to be able to do that.

I hope things are going better for you and hubby. If you can, give us an
update.
