Who's on first

Postby justin case » Fri Dec 12, 2014 6:05 pm

I love watching the bottom of the board sometimes. It doesn't matter who is logged in most of the time, we all share the same sentiments. Once in a while you see an oldie hanging around, and are smitten by the fact that this disease is manageable. They all check in once in a while, and it does me a lot of good, to know not all life stops after colon cancer. Some of us do move on and enjoy a good life. My hat is off to all of you who have benefited, and now can enjoy the goals you worked to achieve. Every day this board changes , and new knowledge and personalities can be exchanged. Please remember, the goal is to help people go through the process of what colon cancer makes you endure. No one here, who has been diagnosed, has not thought about life longevity. I know some people who have been around for awhile, and see names we don't see much anymore. I'm glad the oldies still check in, and I'm glad they don't have any questions to ask. I hope one day, no one has any questions to ask.
Happy Holidays,
Michael

Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know's on third. Remember that?

I guess there comes a point some want to move on, put it all behind them. I sure appreciate the one's we have that stick around to lend a hand while enduring their own health issues. Certainly not to be taken lightly. Sometimes it's difficult to find the words & there are those of you that have been at this a long time...paying it forward.

So check the bottom of that board, justin case!

The oldies have helped me tremendously. Sometimes we (and they) need a break from discussing the depression colon cancer brings. But just like angels, they do come back to listen and help others. I hope to do the same. Peace and health to all ! Andre

@mtsults
I haven't noticed that but I am also guilty of leaving it open @ times. The phone rings, grab another cup of coffee, let the dog out etc.
