Merrill Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Hi, everyone! I haven't visited the forum in a couple years, but on this Thanksgiving Eve, I thought I'd check in and wish you all the very best. To those of you who knew me when I was first formally diagnosed and for the few years after that (and you know who you are ), I want you to know that I remain grateful for all your support, your friendship, and your wisdom. I think about you, I care about you, and I pray that you are finding joy and healing in your lives. Extra big hugs to you.As for me -- I am doing well! We adopted a truly awesome baby girl from China 21 months ago (she'll be 3 in March), and I'm loving my life as a stay-at-home mom. I'm still wearing compression hose and taking my beta blockers and doing all that jive ... but I think my afternoon horizontal time when my daughter naps is the best medicine of all! She wears me out--but she's so healthy and strong and brilliant and beautiful, I am grateful for the weariness, because not to have it would mean not to have her.Peace and love to you all,merrill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Merrill!! How wonderful to see your name pop up! I think about you a lot (I have a photo of you and your daughter as part of my computer's screen saver photo collection) and am glad to hear that things are going well for you. It is wonderful to be a mom of a little girl! Hope to stay in touch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
