I would like to say "Thank You" for all the posts I have read this year. I am fairly new to this having joined in Nov. I am an only child who is in her fourth year of caregiving to my Mom who is 92 y.o. and has Ovarian Cancer and Dementia. I have Hospice that bathes my Mom five days a week, but they are the only ones I have any face to face contact with. My husband works and my children are grown and do not live here. I joined the forum to at least be able to express my thoughts and ideas and read others as well. What I found has helped me so much: you have brought tears to my eyes as you expressed your feelings of sadness and loss of loved ones, and yes, made me realize I am not alone in this journey. You have brought smiles to my face, and laughter, and I have experienced your everyday journeys with life. You have made my appetite "ravenous" with recipes that "sound so good." Most of all you have given me something perhaps you did not realize.....friendship. You have made feel like that somewhere out there that life does exist and you have let me share yours. Thank you for allowing me to do just that. I look forward each day to reading your posts, your are my touch with life. I hope that for each of you that 2012 will bring you blessings both big and small and that each of you will find peace and happiness in your life.
