I would like to extend a very heartfelt thank you to all the Mum's, Dad's, Carer's and forum members who come to this forum and offer such incredible advice, knowledge, support, love, laughter and friendship.
As a parent it is so difficult to watch your child suffer, you want nothing more in life than to take away their pain and distress and make it your own but instead you are left to make heartbreaking decisions for a person you love more than than life itself. We struggle daily with the emotion of watching our children endure things we have never had to face and take more medication in their short lives than many of us will take in our entire life.
I can't thank you all enough for being here, for giving up your precious time to help others, for having the faith, belief and courage to come here and voice your fears and concerns. Many come here and feel guilty because they feel they don't have the knowledge or experience to contribute but nothing could be further from the truth. In asking the questions and wanting the answers you are opening up knowledge, answers and support not only for yourself but also for those that aren't quite ready to take the step and come onto the forum but are reading your posts behind the scenes.
I often find myself in the situation where time is at a premium and I can't even begin to explain how comforting it is to know that when someone comes here, whether they be a newbie or an oldie, they will be welcomed, looked after and nurtured.
Please remember to look after yourselves though guys. Take care of you, when you get the chance pamper yourself and recharge your batteries and most importantly of all your family comes first. Do not feel guilty for taking time away from the forum to enjoy being with your loved ones when times are good or because you are needed elsewhere when times are tough, after all being there with them is what counts, it's the only thing that counts. :hug:
