Charm,
I guess notoriety wasn't the best word to use. Has sort of a negative connotation, doesn't it? It was just the first word to pop into my head. But I sort of like "the Notorious Rosie"!!!
I
try to remember to donate a couple times a year. I was donating every time we lost another member, but that was hard to keep up with, since I didn't come to the forums much. Besides, it was too painful to focus on the lost members. Your post was a good reminder to donate now.
I will be forever grateful to Brian and the OCF members. I don't know how I would have made it without the information and support that I found here.
And yes, the years haven't dimmed the pain as much as I thought. Most days are okay, but I still get hit with a wave of grief out of the blue and start crying. The strangest things will set me off. Something that shouldn't even remind me of Heather, but does anyway. It's hard to explain to someone who hasn't been through it.
Rainbows and hugs.

Rosie
