My Thank You’s

My Personal Thank You’s-

I want to personally thank first and foremost, my Aunt Ruth, for her ongoing support, prayers and thoughts.  She visits this site regularly, and I know that she is on my side 100%.

I would like to thank my Nana and My Grandma Jean and Grandpa Harold.  Their various forms of support has been unmeasurable.  I love my grandparents dearly.

I would also like to thank my “Uncle” Paul, Uncle Ray and Uncle Greg.  They also read this site, and I know I have been in their thoughts and prayers as well.  I miss you guys!

My bestest friends, Amie and Nickole.  Being far away, they aren’t here to help me, but they have been abundant in the phone calls and the moral support that I have needed to get me through.  My life would not have been the same without these ladies, I love them to death!

Colleen Green.  One of my oldest friends.  I got to see her last October, before the plumet, for the first time in years.  Now hearing of The Hodge, she is more than supportive and planning on coming to visit in September after my mom leaves to be a source of support and help to me when I am alone again.  She is an amazing person, and I just wish I could help her - maybe when I am better!

My best manfriend, Terrence.  He is an amazing amount of support and inspiration, even though he doesn’t like to read my site.  He says it’s too depressing, and I look sick in my pictures - it’s ok, I don’t hold it against him, I just make him go to the store for me and drive me around when I don’t feel good.  He also lends an awesome ear, and keeps me in line when I stray.  Offering the best advice there is, and sometimes getting on me to take better care of myself - I don’t think there is any possible way I would have made it this far without him.

I would also like to thank my mom’s neighbor, Jennifer.  I haven’t seen her in many years (you should come visit me!), but her thoughts, prayers and support have been wonderful.  From checking on me and making awesome chocolate chip cookies, she has really been a great source of support mentally!  Thank you!  (And Jim, too!)

And last, but FAR from least, my mom.  She doesn’t read the site that much either, unless I drag her in here and make her.  But that is only because she is taking all her time to care for me and the girls.  From sometimes, multiple meals a day (due to the Prednisone hunger), to dealing with my fierce mood swings (again, due to the Prednisone), to cleaning house, and being with the girls - I wouldn’t be anywhere without my mom.  She has really pulled through for me, I guess I get to do the same for her when she is old in a couple years.  But even through I am moody and snap at her half the time (sorry.), she hasn’t faltered in her care and support for me!

And to the rest of you…  Everyone’s prayers and support have been more than appreciated and needed.  Please continue to pray for me, and other’s that have been affictled with this.  There is truly power in prayer, and without any of you…  I couldn’t have made it this far.  I love you all!
