Bu the fact that you would be so honest, so brave, so strong to share all of this with us shows just what an inspiration you are. You are also kind and caring and I appreciate everything you've done for me - you have helped me through some really tough times. And now, I hope I can help you right back. Sending positive thoughts, good vibes, huge hugs, and an open offer to turn to me whenever the going gets rough!!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03836215891806148229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6700594760561976453.post-87567485551340774702012-02-02T13:35:14.956-08:002012-02-02T13:35:14.956-08:00Kate: First, I'm sorry you're going throug...Kate: First, I'm sorry you're going through this. We all hit these tough patches from time to time, so much more severe than others. I've been in a hole lately myself trying to see that same ray of sunshine, and really it's only been through the Diabetes Online Community that I have realized the power of sharing and need to reach out for help - because as tough as it may be to admit, we can't do it on our own. Just writing this for your own benefit is a first step, and connecting with others is another huge move forward. We've got your back. Whatever you need, chances are there's someone who's been there or is there and will do whatever it takes to help. I'll keep you in my thoughts, and look forward to connecting in the ever-expanding community. Best you way.Mike Hoskinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551066714605052991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6700594760561976453.post-37935297450333577782012-02-02T07:54:30.771-08:002012-02-02T07:54:30.771-08:00Hi Bernard,

I was busy everyday seeing family, more family, and resting! I'm sorry you're going through this, I had a different problem from about the first 20 years of diabetes where I was fully convinced it would kill me despite all I did. It's amazing how this disease plays with your feelings and your mind. I hope and pray you'll pull through this.
