Been gone a few days but I'm here and raising my glass!!!<P>Thank you, Jim, so much for all that you've meant to all of us. We do love you.<P>(((((((((((((Jim)))))))))))))<P>Lori

Jim,<P>I would like to add my appreciation to everyone else's. You have helped me up, and shown me some better ways. <P>For that, I will never forget you.<P>I hope with all my heart that you receive what it is you want. I have faith that you will.<P>Thank you so very very much for everything<P>Jo

Jim, <P>I think you and Lostva both were the first to reply to me. It is a wonderful feeling to be welcomed into a group like this one. Granted, I wish we all met on different circumstances. <P>I think you are a strong person. I think of your comment, hate the sin, not the sinner, when my H gets me down. You provide strength to people with your kind words and wonderful posts.<P>I wish you the best in your struggle to save your marriage. I know I can not do what you have done so far, but I admire it tremendously.<P>Prayers are with you. Dana<BR>

THANKS, THANKS, THANKS!!!!!!!! <P>I will be thinking about you and sending my bestest thoughts your way for strength and smiles tomorrow (and always).<P>Lisa

You are the best, Jim!!! Hope you have a speedy recovery and we are all behind you 100%!!!<P>------------------<BR>Susan<P><BR>

NSR,<P>Thanks for being there for us "newbies". Sometimes we don't know where to go or where to look, but always seem to point us in the right direction. :]<P><P>------------------<BR>Blessed be.<BR>****************<BR>Keridwen<P>Keridwen_7@yahoo.com

Jim,<P>Thanks for everything. You are a true friend. I will never forget how you reached out to me when I first came on board. <P>Being kind to strangers is one of your special gifts. Your the kid that would always play with the new kid in school, when everyone else ignored him.<P>Thanks for being here.

Jim-<P>Your really do deserve a heartfelt "Thank You" for all that you do. Each day when people from around the world feel the earthquake like affect on their life, coming to this site with you standing at the door is such a lightpost and beam of hope.<P>You quickly make everyone know that you feel their pain, remind them to read, post and that the road back will take a strong back and much hard work.<P>In the early days of the chaos and feelings of desperation, your presence makes many first time visitors feel the hope they can "Make It" and make that first step on their road back with a little help from a friend.<P>So, as all before me have said...Thank you!<P>mrrlk
