Hello fern,

How beautiful! *tears up*

I am so happy for you!

I am so grateful you have found PC.

I was just thinking of you, wondering how you were feeling this morning on your "insanniversary." I'd laughed at your creation of the term: " insaniversary."

You've kept me laughing, crying, learning and hoping. You've reminded me of the importance of taking care of myself. You've challenged me to love myself just as much as I love others.

We just never know what's ahead. We can only take life a step at a time in a proactive manner. You are a fantastic example as to how we might work on ourselves and on our lives.

You've shared so much of yourself here while working diligently on you own healing. We have been blessed with your Presence.

I am so grateful that you believe in you, your doctor and your therapist believe in you, your family believes in you, and your friends believe in you. I also believe in you.

While you are working on your own healing, you openly share some of what you've learned. As you work on your own healing, you demonstrate an abundance of Love and concern for everyone here.

I do hope you never again must concern yourself with BP. Yet, I also know, beyond any doubt, that should you experience further bouts of mental illness, you will manage just fine.

While your life has been turned upside down, you've transformed the horrifying experience into a blessing, not only for yourself, but a blessing unto everyone who has crossed your path. You're quite amazing! I am incredibly grateful our paths have crossed. I am deeply blessed by your Presence in my life. I am having difficulty expressing myself, as I am overwhelmed with Gratitude.

As you move forward into year two, I hold much hope that you will continue to grow and continue to heal.

I also hope, that when you are able to return to your passionate career, you'll drop in here to say hello every now and then.

I cannot possible express all that you and your friendship means to me.

With Love, with Gratitude, and with Admiration
