Last year when you joined, I was in the hospital without internet access. I was there for 2 months. Some of my OCF friends came to see me. One special friend would visit every couple days. My hospital had e-cards on their website. I must have gotten well over 100 of them from all over the world. I would have my son read them to me when he came to visit. At that time I was too sick and wasnt able to pay attention enough to read them myself. It made me feel so special knowing I had so many OCF members praying for me. I still have all the get well cards I received.
Keep coming back and posting. You will form some wonderful bonds with other members. Maybe you will even be lucky enough to have some people in your area. I have several OCF friends in my area. Never know, you could have someone in your same town.
