Thanks Foxberry for taking on the organization of this. I am so looking forward to meeting you, new friends and some old ones!
this will be my third meet up in Europe and one in California.....when I went to Luxembourg last year, I thought "I must be crazy"....."who are these people?
"....my daughter and friends were actually concerned that I was going to be kidnapped or something. I thought it will probably be morose and sad and tearful.
What I found was an immediate connection, people who knew what this felt like, people who showed so much love and caring and concern for one another.....lots of fun times, lots of laughter...
It was for me a changing point in all of this...I came home knowing, truly knowing that I would be ok..and if I wasn't, Stayed was going to pester me to death until I was.
So, I just wanted to send out my 2 cents worth for some of you who may be hesitant...meeting other LBSers has been better than any therapy I have tried.....hope you are all having some good moments today.
That's what will get you through this..you start to have a few good moments and then more and more..and yes it still hurts but it does truly get better.
See you in Leeds!
