Hello Everyone,
I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to all of you who
don't know me. The reason I want to do that is because I will be
posting a few times a week, and wanted to give you a bit of my
backgroud in this group. However, I am not subscribing to the list at
this time, so I will not be receiving any of the messages sent by any of
you to the group. If you need to contact me, please use my personal
e-mail address: packnife@tir.com and I will reply as soon as I can.
It was about a year and a half ago when I first subscribed to the
Mol-cancer list. My dad had just been diagnosed with lung cancer, and I
wanted to get all the info I could that might help him. I won't go into
all the details, because it would just be too lenghtly. My dad passed
away this January, and it was not too long after that when I
unsubscribed from the mol list. I needed to spend a lot of time with my
mother. There was so much to tend to, and she doesn't drive, so she
really relied on me a great deal. It seemed that she needed me more and
more. Anyway, things have smoothed out a bit since then, and I got to
thinking I would really like to start sending again what I call my
"thoughts for today" to all my friends and family that I communicate
with by e-mail. I'm just one of those people that likes to share some
of the many quips, quotes, poems, and just some things from my heart.
During the time that I was on the mol list I made many friends, some of
which are still with the group, like Marty Auslander, John Lehner, and
Gail Cunningham (very very special people). Bless their hearts, they
continued to keep in touch with me even after I unsubscribed and even
when I didn't reply back---true friends indeed. Last week I started to
send my "thoughts for today" again to my friends and family after a long
absence. I didn't want to post them to the mol list like I used to do,
because I knew how the group had grown and how there was such an
abundance of messages posted daily. Just getting through all those
messages would be a bit much for me at this time. It was Marty who
encouraged me to post my "thoughts for today" on the mol list again. So
that's why I posted the test message yesterday, to see if I could post
without subscribing. Now that I know I can, I will begin doing that.
Don't forget, I will not be recieving any messages posed to that group.
So, to repeat, if you want to contact me, please use my personal address
as mentioned above.
Well, that's it for the intro. Sorry it was so long winded. I'll close
now so I can send today's "thoughts for today."
Just want all of you to know that you all have a special place in my
heart---those who have cancer, those who are caregivers, and those who
just know and love someone who has cancer. I have been through it,
losing both my father and sister to cancer, and have great compassion
and respect for all of you. Please know that I truly care!
God Bless,
Jo
