After sending the note to Mr Pellico I realized I have not taken the time to personally express my gratitude and appreciation for what you have made possible for me and all of us. It is leadership as you exhibit that has made this country what it is and as long as someone steps up to make a difference, our greatness will come to fruition. May we all have the courage and tenaciousness to use our experiences in life to make a difference in those that travel this world after us!

Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 546 | Brian, That is absolutely wonderful news. I'm so glad for you and, although you probably won't, I think you should sit back and take a bit of a breather. You deserve a little rest and relaxation. My thank you to Mr. Pellico will be sent today. Take care, Double rainbows & hugs,  Rosie

I sent a note to Mr. Pellico Monday. I also attended a SPOHNC meeting today and told everyone about this website. SPOHNC only meets once a month and sometimes I needed support more than once a month and no one there had exactly the same issues I had. This site has been so great for me. I can be here at 2:00 a.m. and browse around and feel better about my situation.
Thanks so much for your support and giving spirit. I will forever by grateful.

Neglected to mention in my previous post, I sent my thanks to Mr. Pellico last night. I agree with Rosie; but knowing you, you won't slow down. This will only spur you on.
Thanks again.
