MyBoys'Mom

Thanks -- again -- for your kind answer on the thread the other day. I was having a rotten day and the idea that something I was doing might be useful at all really bucked me up! Have a great one.

Hah! I think we all feel like threadkillers, have you seen the threads about threadkilling? They go on for weeks!

I wonder if they've ever done a study on usernames and thread response? I think I've got a mild name that doesn't really stick in your brain and it can work against me in getting responses. Names with numbers in them, I notice them and read the posts but I weirdly can't picture a person behind it like I can with a word that makes sense and has no numbers!

Best of hope and prayers to you for your oldest son. It's a rough world for that stuff, and getting rougher.

A very sad story about that young man. I do think of the kids on here that already have such a hard row to hoe, if you've already got so much to deal with and then get diabetes on top of it, that's got to be a whole different ball game. Sometimes I read a post about a kid with diabetes and by the end of it I'm thinking, golly, you're upset that your kid's life is hard because of diabetes? That sounds like the least of his troubles. :(.

Get in touch any time, enjoy chatting. It was so refreshing that I could address your post because I found it interesting and I learned some from it and had a different take on some of it, and we could go back and forth on that and there wasn't anything contentious at all. Really needed it that day, a respectful, fun human conversation! But considering all the hot button topics, I figured I'd better bring it off-thread.

I hope you don't mind if I pop over here, I didn't want to monopolize but I also could see that thread getting contentious, but I wanted to Hallelujah at you! Of course, I also liked "Signs" ;). I could go on and on, but won't -- just to say I think about that a lot, I'd certainly never wish diabetes on Selah and I'd take it myself in heartbeat, but it has definitely changed our family for the better. I'm sorry your oldest had to take the long way home, I hope he's doing very well now and soon it will just be part of his past.

Oh, and your story reminded me of me and my brother and sister scaring each other, we teased each other over the cheesy monsters from the TV "Land of the Lost" -- Sleestaks? I think they hissed, so we'd hiss to scare each other!

Have a great night!

Did you end up going to get your son from camp? It was really hard our first year. We both cried when I picked him up. That was 3 years ago, last year he was better and this year is tough because it is two weeks not just one.

Thank you for being so sweet Sally :-)
