Sharing is Caring!

I was touched when the moderator of this site encouraged me to be who I am here...Mama Bluebird we called her...bluebird was her screen name...Lee was her real name.  She was posting here originally for her husband ~ Buddy and his plight with this cancer.  I still keep in touch with her and I love her dearly.  Last June she "retired" her work as a moderator here at HW after 2,500 posts of encouragement.  But only after touching thousands of people.  I send a great big Hug her way today, in thanks for her contribution here.  Happy New Year, Mama Bluebird

<<<<<<<<<Hugs to you, Lee, Buddy and the legandary Murphy!>>>>>>>>>>>

It's another story but Murphy was a stuffed mouse that had a special place in their hearts. 

When we post here we touch many...I know you all know this by now.  Here's my take ~ Prostate cancer sucks!  But together we share our stories and make each other stronger.  I tip the cup to all the past (and not me ~ present) moderators here, and all the members who care enough to help others....What a blessing.  Beyond words.  The title of this thread was lamented to us by her in the greeting she created!

Let's continue to help each other, understand each other, regardless of our trek's here.  When we share ....we care!!!  What is better than that?  Some of us come from different walks, but we all seek the same thing ~ a healthy future!

God bless you all...

And I will always be thankful to you wonderful people!

Hi Tony,

We have been away on holidays for nearly three weeks since before Christmas day, and returned tonight. So a belated happy new year to you, and Ruth, and all members posting here now in early 2009. It is about 2 years since we first joined the prostate board in Jan 2007.  We too think of Bluebird often and Buddy,  as she/he were among the first to welcome us here 2 years ago, and we have never left. We too love her (Mama Bluebird) dearly,  although we have not been within coo-ee of her ever, but keep in touch when we can by email! We enjoyed the recent festive season and thought of all men with Pca - both those we know and those newly diagnosed, and those posting to this board. We are happy to be home again now with our dogs, and all intact. CJ continues to be cancer-free this new year, for which we are thankful! Love for the new year to you and also to all current moderators,  including Doting Chayna, Barry, James C. Sorry if I have left any new mods out. cheers from down "unda" and thanks for all you do.  Lana.

Big thanks to all the mods as well

Hi TC-LasVegas,

Thank you for being our moderator. Your words of advise, wisdom and encouragement have often been of great help when I needed them most. I also have a warm spot in my heart for Mama Bluebird. She was my very first contact here at HealingWell over 2 years ago. At the time I was at my very lowest and I have no idea where I would be today if not for her calming, kind words of encouragement. Thanks Mama Bluebird.
It's getting a bit late for this, but may I wish both of you and everyone else on this wonderful forum, a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2009.

I so agree with Billy Mac... Di

peace and love

PS

I am probably the person people get tired of reading.

Tony, Mamma trained you well. She was a great help to me when I joined the Club! Thanks for all the work you do.

Oh my gosh, what a wonderful site this is.....We are lucky to be able to come and share whatever is happening and also to listen and to respond to people that we have come to know.....Words make us all become alive.....and we are alive to each other..in ways that may have been impossible if we passed on the street....I am sitting here with a cup of tea with our dog at my side, while my husband is in the hospital after his hip operation.. Tony and James C and the other moderators and responders have made a home for people to come to. Prostate cancer is a lonely illness...for the men, and for their women.. As women, we often can't say the words that the men need. I have learned them here.... Di
