This morning when I opened my mail, I had two great surprises, one being birthday wishes from Pixies and the other was a happy birthday wish from jseal. Now this might not mean a lot to many others but when someone that I have never met or really conversed with took the time to extend greetings really meant a lot to this recipient. Being the only care provider to a traumatic brain injured wife and caring for her 100 year old mother (100 on 3/06/10)and having done so for 18 years come this June, tests the limits of frustration yet provides personal satisfaction in many other ways. Though I do not always participate on the site as much as I should, I still peak in to read the forums for the many smiles and appreciate the efforts of those that compose stories. All that means so much more when a member reached out and reminded me to have a great day. THANK YOU very much one and all and especially to jseal

Congratulations, IM1469 and my hat is off to you for the loving care you've given your wife and mom. That takes a lot of courage and determination ... traits easily worth our admiration and praise.

And you're right about jseal, he is a very thoughful and considerate person who I also admire.

God bless you today and in the days to come.

We have some remarkable people on the Forum. I am in awe of people who can do so much for so long.

The Pixies people are a special group. Even though I have not met most of them I think of them as good friends.

IM1469 you are doing a remarkable thing caring for your wife and mother-in-law. God bless you.

And you are right, jseal is super nice.

I hear that i was very surprised to just randomly pop in here to gaze at the boards and see a happy birthday thread for myself.


I'm not here as much as i used to be obviously, and was very amazed to see a birthday thread.

thanks all.
