A Message to Pure....
Life is too short to wake up with regrets.. So love
the people who treat you right.. Forget about the
ones who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If
it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life
would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
Pure - I have read your posts since you came on this forum although I am not a stage III, I followed your treatment, your pregnancy and was one of the many cheering you on while your son was being born - and rejoiced at that marvelous occasion. We all have people in our lives that sometimes cause a "road block" for us. Don't detour when that happens - just jump over those road blocks and keeping on going, Pure. The friendships you have made on this board, and the people you have inspired matter more than any petty remarks. You're made of strong stuff, Pure, you've proved that over and over.

I second this....
Your posts are so real and sometimes raw and heart felt and honest and I think you have helped many new to the journey --- as well as put into words what others are too shy or unable to say.

Right on Linda!

Linda,
your post just made me cry! it is so fitting to a situation I am going through right now with work. I just love the words "We all have people in our lives that sometimes cause a "road block" for us. Don't detour when that happens - just jump over those road blocks and keeping on going"
Thank you for a wonderful post, even though it was directed to pure, it has helped me also.
Pure, hope all is going well for you!

Thanks so much for this beauitful post:) I really appreciate you taking the time to write this for me! Your so so right on:) I know the above to be true in my heart.... One of the MOST touching moments of my life was logging onto bc.org after I had my baby and seeing pages upong pages of supportive messages from people all over this board. I was SHOCKED at the outpouring of love. That moment taught me so much about compassion... I could never leave here after being shown that lever of compassion just b-c I got my feelings hurt:) I have had so many supportive emails and facebook posts this week that I would be so sad if all of you weren't in my life!
Thanks again for showing your support.
Blessings!
