Kat

Hey Kat -

I know its been awhile - but I read what you said in another post which was closed. Something about "not fitting in". Are you crazy girl??? I wish we had a hundred more like you here.
Just wanted to say that you are one class act - You always try to "smooth things over", when the wars are going on, etc. I'm sure everyone that knows you knows exactly what I'm talking about.
I think you deserve the "Addiction Recovery Peace Prize" lol. Funny but true.
Thanks for being the real, kind and caring person that you are and never change for noone.


Love always,
Marie
You're such a sweetie, Marie.
I know you'll remember a time on this board (we've both been here that long) when things were divided.
I hated it then and I hate it now. It's truly a headache.
I've been here a year and a half now and at some time or another I've had the opportunity to connect with most of the people here. I think everyone is cool in their own way.
It really sucks to me to watch things errupt between people I've shared my life with and they've shared theirs with me.
I'm beyond trying to figure it out. I've been blessed, I guess. I've looked for the good in folks, and I've seen it.
Some of these very people came to my aid last night, when I was at my worst.
You don't forget those things.
I wish everyone could know what wonderful qualities lies in most everyone here.
There should be a lot more Marie's on this board, too.
Love you, Kat
Thanks Kat -

I know that you try to see the best in people. Hey, by no means and I perfect. I've been in several little "squabble" here. I'm the type that will say whats on my mind, forgive, forget (or hopefully be forgiven) and then carry on. I hate holding grudges. Life is too short!!!!

I hope that Sharon is doing OK today. Have you spoken with her? Send her my love. I know that she is still grieving. I know she is a strong woman, but how much can someone take at one time?

I'd love to her from you - send me an email so we can catch up. Same addy purplerain062@yahoo.com

Love ya girlfriend,
Marie
Hey Marie, I haven't seen her yet today. She's hanging in there but it's really hard. Grief can be so overwhelming and Sharon has had more than her share of it.
That woman has stood by me through every crisis I've ever had and I'll do my damndest to be here any way I can for her. I wish I knew how to spare her some of it, but that's just humanly impossible. It will just take time and lots of love.
I hope she always knows how special she is.
Sending you an email soon.
Love, Kat
Kat,

She's lucky to have you as a friend. Send her my love. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

love,
Marie
Will do, Marie. And it is me who is the lucky one. When she saw I was for real, she bent over backwards for me....through w/d, the awful and confusing stages in early recovery, and her patience was endless. I have to force her to take credit for this. She guided me through the learning process and endeared herself to me beyond words. Those things aren't coincidece, it's fate. I will always strive to be to her what she has to me.
There are many others who have paved the way for me. Some call it tough love and that's just ridiculous, she showed me what to do with gentle but firm words and I listened, What more could you ask for? I could never thank her enough and I proudly consider her a sister.
Because of her, I want to do this for others because I know it can make all the differece in the world.
When I pray I thank God for sending me who I needed and He continues to do this for me. I am gratful for all the many others who have showed me kindness as she did. The many friends I've made here have given me insight and ispiration. You are one of those people for me.
Thank you, Marie, You're just a doll.
Love, Kat
