I just read Mom's post on how once again she is apologizing for her absence. I too have been absent and posted the reason why. Mom has posted numerous apologizes for being gone she has even said in her last post that maybe she should step down as Mom!!! Here is what I think of that NO WAY!!!!!!!!!! I have been a member here almost from the beginning and Mom has always been here for this family. She is the mother hen and has done so much for so many. I know that some of you have felt hurt but I would also like for you to think about what it is like when you get in a bad spot and Mom is there for us. As a family we need to move on Mom is here and she loves and cares for all of us. We all need to get behind Mom and support her like she does us. Forgiveness is so important to quote a song: "We Live, We Love, We forgive and never give up, cause the days we are given are gifts from above and today we remeber to live and to love." I love all of you very much and if I offended I am sorry but I did need to speak my mind. Mom is so important to me and I know what everyone here means so much to her. God Bless Love and Mega Hugs, Sweet Mary |

Oh sweet Sweet :) Thank you so much for the kind words!!!! I so needed to hear them, so many of you have spoken them but I still am so upset over the harm I have caused. I never meant it ever, all I ever meant was to have a place where no matter what, no matter why, no matter when, how, or where, everyone was safe and welcome. I do feel that those I have hurt should be able to tell me how they feel and what I can do to make up for what I can. I will never stop saying that or meaning that. I caused harm and I need to face it, do what I need to, to fix what I can and then move on. I am almost ready, if anyone is still hurt, that I do not know about, please email me, I will do whatever I can to "fix" what I have done. I am so happy to hear that I am still "Mom" it means so much to me. I love this family, each and everyone, so much!!! I have been through a lot, like most of us, but this is the safest place I have ever found. I can't let me or anyone mess that up!!! Thank you with all my heart :) to my incredible family :) :) :) |

Hello to all, Sweet is quite right. Mom, you don't have to apologize for being ill. After all, you started this site to help those who share a common illness with you. Anyone who is angry about you being too ill to be here needs to grow up and remember why we are here. After all the support and care you give, the least we can do is return the favor. I may be very busy with my new job, but Sweet keeps me informed about things here. I finally may be able to be around more. Anyway, thank you Mom for all you have done, and please stick around. Peace to all, Bob |

Thank you so much all of you for the very sweet kind words, they mean so much to me!!! I will try and listen :) but I live my life to "cause no harm" and I did. I almost stopped being an advocate this past year because I felt I caused harm. I may over react, but I also need to do what those I hurt need. I hope this makes sense. I will NOT be stepping down a MOM, but I will be getting our awesome Bolds going again :) Keep watching, I am back and I am going to prove to all I am back 110% :) |

I just wish everyone that could be here would have stepped up to the plate more in Mom's absence, including me. We all owed her that! When I came to this group, I tried to revive a lot of old posts. Within the last week, I noticed that a post I made to a thread on the craft board in MARCH was the last post to that board! I have to wonder if anyone even read it. I was also told that the responsibility to keep the group alive and breathing was MINE, and I honestly do not remember having that conversation. If it happened, and I let anyone down, please accept my apologies. We all need to work together to make this a thriving place once again. This is a support group, people!!!!! So, when one member falls, it is up to the others to give them a hand back up, and help everyone else too if they can't. Now, if you're with me, fine. If you're not, fine. But I feel better having my say on this too, and I hope all of you can respect that. Betta Sue |

DON'T EVER APOLOGIZE FOR SOMETHING YOU CANN'T HELP! WE ALL HAVE BAD SPELLS SOMETIMES FOR A DAY OR TWO AND OTHERS THAT JUST HANG IN THERE FOR ALONG WHILE. LET'S JUST HOPE THAT THIS GOOD SPELL WILL LAST LONGER THAN THE LAST BAD SPELL!!! GOD BLESS, TERI |

Thank you, I guess I felt that I had been gone for about a year. I have been looking through the posts and I went back all the way to June this year and I was posting at least once a month. I kept denying how bad things were so that just made it worse. But I am feeling much better now :) :) :) So watch out I am BACK and this family is the best friends a person could ask for :) |
