All the best,

To all of the crazy wonderful women that I had the pleasure of spending time with this past weekend. I am home finally. H4 T and I had a long trip home today but we laughed and recapped the great weekend It has been like getting 6 months of therapy in 3 days. Getting to know all of you was a delight and hope to keep in touch! What next, you did a fantastic job of organizing and I would love to see you all again soon

LORD
I may not understand your ways. I may not understand the reasons why.
I just have to trust your ways.
No more questions. My faith is in you LORD.
Your will be done and not mine. Amen

What Next, thank you so much.  It was an absolutely incredible gathering.  I am missing every single one of you, already and I only got home at 2pm. this morning. 

We truly live in a crazy world.  When I discovered in 2005 that my h was betraying me, I was shattered, devastated and bewildered.  Never in my wildest expectations did I expect that the most horrific situation in my life, would open the door to a whole new life for me, filled with joy, happiness, confidence and most of all "friends for life".  The bonds between us, are instantaneous, strong and enduring. 

It was fantastic to see many of the same faces again and to meet another group of new ones.  I would not wish MLC on anybody, but if this had not happened to us, NONE of us would ever have met.  My life would be so much less without all of you, in it.

I know I will see many of you again and I expect to meet many more new ones in the future. 

Again, thanks WhatNext and hugs  Stayed

I agree with all the sentiments posted already. WhatNext, you are a master organizer and I am forever greatful.
A special and heartfelt thanks to those of you who took the time to drive me to the sea. I was a mess before leaving and your kindness and love was so comforting. You walked with me as I found my spot to do my ceremony then left me be to mourn. Then, you brought me back and away from that sacred spot. All of you played an important role in that day for me and I am forever grateful.
I so much want and need to return to Ireland. There will come a day where I shall. Until then, many blessings to you all. My friendship and love is yours forever.

To all the lovely friends I met old and new thank you for being who you all really are, despite the situation we find ourselves in. Kind, caring and very very special. I had a wonderful time being with you all. And I hope we keep sharing our stories.
What next. ....wow...you must open that respite home for lbs...my name will be first on the list! !!
Much love to you all.

Hello "Fake internet friends" (nomer invented by Learning´s children.) So glad you created a special meet up. Yes, WE are the silver lining to this debacle of epic proportion. You can bet your sweet bippy that the MLCers do not seek out a support group to this level of interaction and caring- just a posse of new faces that don´t know their truth. So be it- at least we win on this account. Hugs,

Agreed

I am unsticking this thread, now that the event is over.

Glad you had such a good time with I understand 20 or more in attendance.

Of course 20 REAL people must have been fake...... :) :) :)

It's my last nite in Ireland and What Next and I are having a drink. We have been back and forth all over Ireland and she is quite the tour guide. I am sad to leave her, as I feel like we are sisters. The rest of the group that I have spent time with, CrazyStuff, Limitless, Voyager, Milvina, Jilly, Losing Hope, Hope4T, IANTE, NeverGiveUp (please post), NeverGivingUponU, and my mentee, Fizzy,  and, of course Stayed, have added such joy and insights to my life. I thank all of you for being such a wonderful addition to my life at such a tumultuous time. I would never be healed to this degree without you.
