 I'm a little late on the 'toast'. But hope that more people have become aware on this day!

I'm SO glad we have each other! You all help me get through the days. So, I just want to say, "THANK YOU"!

Gentle Fibro Hugs to you all.

 I am a little late also but still wanted to thank everyone for all their support and help. I know I can always count on people on this site. I sent out emails to everyone I knew yesterday about fibro awareness and some even thanked me and said they would help to make people aware. I thought that was so nice. THANKS ALL!

 Thank you very much Kaze. The house is coming along great. We are very happy here.

I hope that others will join me in continuing to send out letters. I dont think we can ever educate enough people.

 Thank you for saying that Kaze.

For a long time I have wondered what I did that was so wrong to get this fibro. Now I think that I did not do something wrong. I have got the feeling I have fibro so I can help to educate other people.

I stated to see this when we started the writing letters. I feel like I have a purpose now. And I am not going to stop pushing.

 Way to go Dragonfly. I felt the same way. But I figure God gave us this for a reason and maybe that is to help bring more understanding to fibro and what people live with. I have been writing letters for atleast a year now and will not give up. Keep up the good work.
