Thank You from BlueBird........(long..... sorry)
I'll tell you right off that I'm not able to stay here to reply to
anyone. I've been probably the sickest I've been in over two years, the last time I went to the hospital. It started on Sept. 2nd this year when I received the news from my vet that Little Bit had only 4-5 days to live. YES!!!!!! She is still with me almost 4 months later. This is thanks to my WONDERFUL herbalist who I give credit for keeping me alive as long as I've been. Once she started treating her, Little Bit not only turned the corner, but she bounced around it !! Anyway, having to care for her (which I'd do again in a heartbeat) 24/7, which it took to keep her alive, started me on the downward path. I've just never pulled out of it, but instead got steadily worse. I'm so weak now that just typing this message will take me probably 4-5 sittings. I wanted to post to tell y'all how much credit I give you for the wonderful Christmas I've had. Each year since I first began posting and even since I've been UNABLE TO POST, you sweet, compassionate people have sent me not just Christmas cards, but have made my entire living room overflow with Christmas cards, pictures of your sweet cats, even fur from some of them and even to the limit of some of you sending nice long letters !!!!!!!!!!! Now the letters are like pure gold to someone who is more alone each year as friends drop off the list of those willing to even take the time to call or send a card !!!! But even the Christmas cards go a long ways to helping me turn what used to be a long lot of lonely days into a lots of really happy and enjoyable days, with me looking forward to the mail being brought to me each day. Heck, I even got presents from about 6 of my online friends !!!!!!!!! For some unknown..... well, maybe not unknown but maybe the fact that Little Bit is still with me....... this has been one of the happiest and most enjoyable Christmas' in my recent memory !!!!!!!!!!!! Even my son not calling me, but waiting until I called him didn't dampen my joy for the Holidays !!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for the part you played in that joy. (Well, yes, Joy played a part in it, too !! LOL) Looking at close to 100 Christmas cards which were mostly from this caring group, bring tears to my eyes for real. I can count on two or three fingers the amount of 'here friends' that I have who have stuck it out with me. And only one of those is a friend who's stuck it out every single day since day one of this Fantastic Journey that I started almost 10 years ago !!!!!!!! A sad commentary on what I thought were many, many good friends. It still hurts at times to realize that those 'friendships' withstood only a few short months after I was given my death sentence. It is replaced most of the time with many, many friendships of online people who have definitely 'stuck it out' with me for years (6-7 for some, to be exact). My heart is warmed even during the long year between New Years and the next Christmas by people from this group staying in touch both in e-mail and some by that marvelous snail mail which I covet so much !!!! True, you are not the only people who stay in touch both during the Holidays and during the year........ but by far the largest amount come from this precious group of people. I can never say "Thank You" enough to Joy for bringing me into this group. I know it's late, but Merry Christmas and also a Happy New Year to each and every one of you precious people !!!!!!!!!!!! I may not be able to come here but once in a Blue Moon, but I can promise you that you're in my thoughts all year long. Thanks more than I can possibly say for being my REAL friends. Love, BlueBird (aka Cheryle) P.S. Just when you thought you'd gotten rid of me......... I'm not sure what address I have showing here, but I do have a rather new one. If you'd like it, I'm sure Joy wouldn't mind giving it out to any of you who don't have it. -- Life isn't about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well you bounce !! |

Please do not apologize that the letter is long, I like to hear how you and
Little Bit are doing (I am just not asking, since I know writing is tiring for you). I'm so very glad Little Bit is doing well. Soncek and I are sending lots of purrs and best wishes for you to feel much better really soon. We are thinking of you often, admire your courage and positive outlook on life, -- Polonca & Soncek "BlueBird" wrote in message ...
