Denisemomof4 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 And even had messages! I usually log in once per year to give an update, and I will be doing that shortly as my RAD turns 13 in just over a week. I'm not sure I should even share anymore! Did most of the posters I was familiar with change their board names or have most left? I don't want to barge in and share with people who will be thinking, "Who the heck is this?!" Also, I have been thinking lately of Carpe Diem. She battled cancer and then I think she posted less and I left shortly after. Can anyone tell me how she's doing? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Glad to see you back. I'm a bit foggy from pain meds, so I don't remember more, but Carpe Diem posted 2 days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisemomof4 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 I'm so glad to hear about Carpe, and sorry to hear about your pain. I did read your thread earlier when I wasn't able to log on. I'm sorry you're in pain and hope you're feeling better soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimm Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Oh my goodness I have been wondering about you! Please update us on your family. I'm always hoping the best for your daughter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisemomof4 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Ok thanks, ladies! I will try to update by the end of the weekend. I don't dare try now while I'm so sleepy. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ailaena Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I think about you every so often as I have learned so much from your journey with your dd. Honesty, even if nobody was left that knew you, you have so much to offer that you should post anyways! (Picture the smiley that runs and hides now;)) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I was just thinking about you the other day. Looking forward to your update! :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malory Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I don't usually post though I read the boards regularly. I have often wondered how you and both your daughters are doing. Can't wait to read your updates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 :seeya: Hi, good to see you again! Yes, some have changed their names, some have left and there are some new-ish ones that are among the regulars now. Hope things are going well for your family--looking forward to reading your update! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb_ Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Denise, it's so good to see you again! How is your college girl doing? Did she graduate? I think she's a senior this year but time flies. I have a senior this year but she's taking an extra year to finish a second major in comp sci and a Japanese minor. She only had a few classes left in each and we encouraged her to go for it. She doesn't want to go straight to grad school and a bachelor's in neuroscience only sounds impressive. Good luck finding a job without a masters or Ph.D. We just turned another loose this year and she's doing pretty well. Freshman year is tough on everyone. Looking forward to your update! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenn in FL Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Denise! :hurray: :hurray: :hurray: Oh.My.Gosh. You have been sorely missed! By Many! Your wisdom, your candor, your insight, your...ummm... no holds barred, "keepin it real" perspective, has been a collective breath of fresh air here since, well, forever! So ridiculously good to see you surface again. Please come back to this board...you have a mission, you fill a void, you are a voice that desperately needs to be heard... Sharing is hard. Sharing is courageous. Sharing is what "good people" do to enrich the collective good. I am a pediatric nurse, actually a NICU nurse, who has either quoted you, or paraphrased you, or your insights, for literally, YEARS! You, and you alone, are directly responsible for enabling me to accurately share with a large number of completely uninformed, but almost certainly in "denial mode," people what a gritty, raw, real life in the trenches, type existence might well be in their future. I am not exaggerating, when I honestly credit you sincerely, for saving far more than one life! Not to mention, the serious hard core "old-timers" on this board, loved keeping up with your farm, your livestock, your kiddos, and just for fun, your overall sanity! You are a WTM treasure with a loooong pedigree! Welcome back, I hope! Jen 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) :seeya: It's always nice when "waybackers" drop in for updates. I'm not one myself, but I recognize your name and avatar (your DH reminds me so much of my uncle) so we must've crossed paths a little. I hope all is well!

Liz CA Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Denise, it's about time! Thank God you had the same avatar - that really helps! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Denise-please share what's happening in your life. My RAD "child" has moved on mostly but the outcome hasn't been wonderful, though far better than I used to think was possible. I look forward to hearing about your life and your family. And I too have talked about your experienced with an RAD child to others, people who are unsuspecting. You really have touched many lives. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommy22alyns Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Denise!!! You are one of the ones I've missed the most. I've been a little more scarce lately, but I will definitely stick around to see your update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
