Why wear a ribbon?

 
"I wear this ribbon for my mom and dad <3" (Brenda)

MDJunction to me

carmen33"When I first came to MDJ, I was in a very dark place, and feeling quite alone, I don't know how I found this site, but I have been very grateful ever since, all of you have offered insight to the illness of Bipolar and the other things going on with me, being here has allowed me to find friends, and to feel safe in discussing things that I would never have shared before.

I believe it has also offered me the chance to reach out and help others. A simple Thank you, is all that I have to offer, to this site and to the wonderful people here.

update: Dad is home and I talked to him earlier. he sounds good.. we joked that both of us are battery operated now,lol..I will keep my worry low as I can.. I really need to make it a point to go see him soon, its been a few years.. he and his wife are very much the life of the party( and he parties to much). his heart rate was down to 30 then spiking to 116..he was having dizzy spells and passing out..hehad gone a few times to the doc but the couldnt find what was going on because he wouldnt have an episode then...but his electrical system from brain to heart isnt working, and now it is, so I know he will feel like a new man...thank you all so much for the prayers,
we all have alot to give if one gets the help then some of this suffering is worth it..
