There was a man named Pter who dragged me kicking and screaming back to life David and I never laid eyes on him...never heard his voice. He was from the old forum, BT and he literally forced me to deal with Michaels' death...forced me thru his words. Pter is dead now but his words live on.
So there is no need to convince me of the importance of forum families....
Remember, the antidote to depression is to surround yourself with people who care.
