This thread is overtly sentimental and probably stems from the fact
that where I am it is Thanksgiving.
I am feeling a whole cornucopia of thankfulness.
I wanted to celebrate the diversity found within
this forum and people everywhere.
Here we have people who have just been diagnosed with epilepsy, have lived with it for years, or who are dealing with seizures and waiting the oftentimes long wait until diagnosis.
There are also people who are family members such as spouses, parents, family members or girlfriends/boyfriends trying to gain understanding and support loving those they know with epilepsy.
We live with it by experiencing it or witnessing it.
Nobody asks to be thrown into this world of epilepsy that is for certain.
The seizures themselves represent a whole rainbow: temporal, frontal, occiptal, tonic/clonic, simple partial, complex partial, myoclonic, brain trauma and the list goes on and on from there.
Here we all join together and lean on each other.
We can speak out here even when we feel we can nowhere else.
My heart is filled with gratitude.
So thank-you.
I appreciate all of you and the unique attitudes, viewpoints and advice offered and to those asking the questions that need asking and the things that I didn't even know I needed to know!
My husband joined here first and then encouraged me to join.
There are family and friends in my life who have stayed even when I have pushed them way.
Goodness knows they could have left.
Feel free to laugh and roll your eyes now! This is just me. A softie. Kleenex anyone? No?
