Gary, I am glad you can be an active advocate for stroke survivors in your community. As a caregiver I am often too busy with the day-to-day chores to attend meetings etc so I know that I have a great deal of knowledge that I COULD share wit h others but just don't have the time to go to meetings and seminars.

Thanks for the updates on Kyle. It is good to keep in touch with all that early struggle. I think to forget it is to let go of a valuable resousrce we might need again.

Sue.

Gary,

Thank you thank you for the updat from the J-room. I was wondering how things were going. Perhaps in the near future we'll get the opportunity to speak directly to Kyle himself. That would be wonderful. Kyle is doing wonderfully. Hope you get to see his parents at your meeting on the 10th.

You keep so busy Gary. I do hope that others appreciate all your hard worek y6ou do in the stroke community. You are definitely appreciated here dear friend.

Thank you Sue and Donna for your kind words I really do appreciate them as well as what everyone does here at Strokenet as well as in your communities.

Don't sell yourself short. There is such a need to share our experiences with others. To help them with whatever challenge that is confronting them. It is even a very valuable experience to attend a group meeting to hear what challenges others are being faced with and how they are finding their way through the minefield.

I received a very touching email today from a mother that I will share with you in a new post that I will do later tonight. (you just never know how and/or when you will touch someone in a way that gives you a special joy in your heart - The joy of giving)

Smiles

Gary
