Ah Marty, I never know what to say, as I am never good with words. But just know my heart is with you and yours still.

We will look forward to your return when you are ready. Major <<HUGS>>

[SIZE=14pt]Marty, so thankful that you are able to put your feelings on paper. It helps some doesnt it? We do miss you here and look forward to the day you can come back as yourself. Well at least part of yourself because I know that you dont feel complete without Michael..... but remember that part of him will always be with you, and with us and with every little animal life that he ever touched. You will feel him home again someday...maybe a day without the meds. Numb is a good place to be to get thru but feeling again, feeling his warmth around you will be comfort to you as well. I pray that you can let yourself feel again. That is what you do best.[/SIZE]

Marty its so great to hear that your doing ok. I keep thinking about you every night and pray that you and your family are doing ok. The forum isn't the same when you aren't on. (((HUGS)))

Dear Dear Marty

It was wonderful for you to acknowledge what others have done for you but girl you had already done so much for so many it was just our turn to pay it back. The forum will never be the same without you but take your time and return when you can. You and your family are in our prayers and thoughts everyday that healing will come. I think Leia said it best. Let this love surround you and help what little it can.

 

[RJRMINIS]

Marty,

Glad to see your post....You, Jerry & Dan are still in our thoughts and prayers. Hang in there and take things one day at a time. If you need anything, we are all here for you anytime, anyday any hour!

It's sooooo good to hear from you Marty. We've been so worried. That you are able to focus enough to write that beautiful poem makes me feel that things might be improving for you. That was the most eloquent thank you I have ever read. I had tears streaming down my face(again). I don't think anyone expects the "old Marty" back. Losing Michael is a life changing event and it changes people and their prospective towards things. Come back when you're ready......we'll be waiting with our hearts and arms wide open.

Marty, it is so nice to hear from you, we have all really mssed your post, but do understand that in time you will be back. You, Jerry, and Dan are still in our thoughts and prayers. (((hugs))) to you. Corinne

Marty, Although I only know you through the forum, you are the one that had such funny, blunt, and unique posts, I almost feel as though I know you. I remember reading a few of them to my husband. You are such a wonderful person. My heart ached for you when I read of Michael's passing. You and your family have been in my thoughts and prayers and it felt good to see your "face" again on the board. Join us when you feel that need, we love to hear from you.

Your poem brought tears...........so well written {{{{{HUGS}}}}

: Don't thank us Marty, we thank you. For who you are and what you are! At 65 it's not often one looks up to someone younger but I do Marty.

Everyone sees that in you, you are a wonderful and unique individual and that's why your son was. You can't be that special and not pass it on.

I'm here, arms waiting. When you're ready, I can't wait to have you back. Thank you for this effort Marty and take care and love to Jerry and Daniel also.

Aww Marty u are just so special to so many people. It is so sad that it took this terrible tragedy to bring out all the love so many feel for u. I cant tell u how many forum folks I have talked to that were just crushed and devastated by your loss. We have all cried along with your family and still are. So please know Marty, Jerry and Dan that we love and are praying for u all.

Marty - If words could mend broken hearts your forum friends would write your family a book. Just keep in mind that Michael would want you, Jerry & Dan to make it through the grieving as soon as possible. Bless you all!

 

[ClickMini]

Marty, it is good to see your words again. You are so eloquent. Others here have written eloquent responses as well. I am pretty sure there is not one forum member that doesn't love and miss you.

"Though mere pen pals we may be, forever friends, you'll see."

It absolutely rips my heart out to read the paragraph you describe your life today, with you sedated, Jerry at the cemetary, and Dan drifting, a lonely boy now.

: That is just too unbearable to consider, with your family so full of life and love before.

I pray you find some peace and rest.

We'll all be waiting with open arms and hearts when you are ready to return, you are truly part of the heartbeat of this forum. We miss you so much.

Marty you know i love you!

If you dont feel like your ready to come back to the forum, dont put yourself through more stress then you need over it. We all know that its going to take time for you to come back here but i agree, the forum just doesnt seem right. You just keep on healing and spending time with Dan & Jerry, writing them poems to.

We were down in Kentucky this past weekend and i was half tempted to take the car and drive down to TN and check in on you all, if i could have i would have ...we were not to far away.

Marty, also i dont know if Dan got my card but please i sent my phone number, email and home address ....just let him know that i would love to get to know him and talk with him. He can talk to me easier because he doesnt have to worry about hurting me by talking about it. Even if its just for 5 minutes on the phone or a 10pg email. Just let him know i am here for him.

Eat ...Sleep ...Breathe ........<Thats how you recover.

God Bless,

Leeana H.
