In my opinion, I could do no less than return the tribute extended to us FanStorians, of which you are a highly regarded member, Debi. I believe I can speak for all. Thank you for joining us and sharing your thoughts and words. We appreciate you, too...Eve

    Oh Evesayshi, you have brought tears to my eyes of joy and loving thoughts of our friendship. Thank you my friend so very much! I am so appreciative of those beautiful six stars, and of your always loving kind words.
    I have to tell you something, since we have become so close.
    It started with Covid, when at first he didn't even want me going into the clinics and I had been so confined as I wrote in my very first Millenium post here in "Being Held Hostage". With Covid being so bad, and not even able to be with family for a year and a half, Glen being so overprotective of me because my Lupus has been really flaring now the last few years and caused staged 4 kidney disease, and have bleeding in my body that they can't find w any of the testing. Yet has my hemoglobin and other blood work so bad, even though they give me infusions every couple weeks to boost my cells, iron and blood transfusions and now they are going to do a stem cell procedure to see if that does the trick. I have only told a few about this all before, but if all of a sudden if you don't see me on here, you will know why. It's crippling and I have been blessed to live a somewhat normal life up until then, even though I am pretty much confined to mostly sitting which is why I love to write. The pain in my body and hands are making it harder to type, but I love it so much. I try to stay positive, so it gave me a smile that day that my husband played that trick on me. I made that my pre poem about the clouds .That's why that millennium was so important for me to thank those who I am closest to. I am having it framed so I can always remember that special one, and my special friends. I just feel so bad that other pictures of friends that some of the I love were lost when my printer jammed and they are still stuck in there, because I can't get them out without ruining it. I know I have written close to a thousand poems in my life, yet this one will always be my best because I was able to thank you guys! Like I said, I am only telling you this in case you don't see me for a while, and certainly not for pity. I am so very blessed and like my mother told me when she was down to 60 pounds before she died of pancreatic cancer. "It could always be worse, because many others have it worse than me." I try to live by those words with much joy and peace with the help of our Lord and Savior. But until then, I will write for as long as I can, and just thought it was time to share with a few of my very special friends.
    I thank you once again, my very sweet and wonderful friend!

    Eve, I do need to apologize for yesterday, as all my Drs agreed they wanted me to increase my dose of medical cannabis, which I hate taking because it screws up my thought process and caused me to have a little pity party yesterday, and made my fears elevated and caused me to overreact; therefore oversharing, and for that I truly apologize. That is not like me, and I am a little embarrassed by it.

    My Dear Debi,
    You do NOT have any reason to apologize - indeed, absolutely NOT! And, please do NOT be embarrassed for 'reaching out' to a kindred soul. I am in awe that you did and felt the affinity between us, inspiring you to do so. My heart and prayers are with you, always...Eve

So very true. I think we all started in the same place. . .a place to be able to express our views, write from the heart and most always find a helpful voice to critique our work. So nice to meet fellow writers. :)

    Thank you for the kind review and lovely comments. You are so very right, and I think that is what makes this a home away from home when we come her to write review and hang out for a while. I feel the bond with even those that I have never met before, as it's amazing what a kind word can do to a person's heart. Thank you so much my friend!

No better way to express your feeling than this right here and now. I love this piece and have felt the same way about all who read, review and critique with genuine helpfulness.
God bless

What a wonderful post - I'm amazed at how much effort you put into posting their pictures. In my short time here, I've found everyone to be kind and accepting.

I certainly find you to be a wonderful writer - your postings are always engaging and well written. Regards, Lilly

    Thank you Lily for your beautiful review and words, but I noticed you said their pictures. Yours should have been up there as well. You were on my list and made sure I had yours as well, as you are one of my favorite people here. I am going to have to look, but pray yours wasn't one that got chewed up by my printer. There were nine on the page that caused it to jam, and it's got to be taken in, because I can't get it out myself without ruining the printer. Gosh I hope yours wasn't one of them. I added people that helped me a couple month ago a few times, just to be kind, so I just couldn't leave you out, as you have been with me since day one. I will go look and if I have to I will have someone help me change the picture. This is the most special one to me and that's why I chose it for my milestone post. I want to frame it, and always remember my most special people here. I do know of a few others that got chewed up and they too were precious to me. If that happened I am so sorry, even for me, I need it to be right. I don't want to over share here and most don't know this, but I'm crippling up more and more with my Lupus and at stage 4 kidney disease, and writing with all of you is what's keeping me going, yet the pain is almost making it hard to think straight. So I keep trying to stay positive and happy, and so thankful that God has blessed me tenfold with all of you that have been there to review, give helpful feedback and I didn't expect to fall in love friendship wise, so dearly. Now I am crying so I will thank you one more time my lovely friend and God Bless!!!!

    Oh, Debi, now I'm practically in tears. I will put you on my prayer list!!! Please, please don't trouble yourself with my picture - it's just a flower vase.

    But it symbolizes our friendship, so we will see what happens. Tearfully and humbly Lily, I just thank you again!

    I thank you so much, as I just got done congratulating you for your great recognition on the last thank you. Yes this one felt good, as I knew that this was the perfect time since I am not sure how much longer I will be able to write, health wise, so I am trying to make the best of it now. So thank you my dear friend for your very kind review and lovely comments!

Hello Debi A good day to you. As always I hope this finds you well. Congrats on your 50th post. Much like you, I had no idea what do expect, I didn't even know if it would be worth the price to join. Needless to say it was and I'm so glad I took the chance. Not only has it rekindled my love for writing poetry, it has taught me so many different styles and opened me up to writing more than just poetry. I have learned so much and met so many great writers and poets. Thank you for becoming part of the FanStory family and making us part of yours.

    Oh my goodness Teri, you are one of my very favorite friends and sisters in Christ. I couldn't forget you, but unfortunately I did miss a couple that have been so good to me, and I lost 9 in a paper jam in my printer and needs to be taken in to have it fixed. Then I think I will redo the picture and fame this because it was my most special post that I had planned for so long when I hit my millennium. Also because I don't know how much longer I will be able to write, as the Lupus is crippling me up more with every day and it becomes painful to type, it would maybe help if I didn't have to write a book with every thank you. Haha!! Thank you for the kind review and lovely comments.
    I just love positive and helpful people. I think that is what makes this a home away from home when we come her to write review and hang out for a while.

What a beautiful poem! And also reflects what I feel about the site. It's great to feel confident enough to share my work among new friends and feel a sense of community. The Christian sub- group I have found to be very encouraging and prayerful, an added blessing. Beautifully written.

    Thanks Wendy, I hope you know that you have always been one of my very favorites here and I included you in the photos. Unfortunately I lost some when my printer jammed towards the end, and have to take it in and get it out and fixed as it is in pretty bad shape. And the group that you are talking about is that the one with Teri? I need to get in their and spend some time with my Christian friends. I used to write for a Christian online group and belong to Christian group on FB called The Return. So I stay really busy online as much as I can.
    Thank you for the kind review and lovely comments. You are so very right, and I think that is what makes this a home away from home when we come her to write review and hang out for a while.

    Oh what a beautiful reply! Yes, you would enjoy the ?God in your life? club. Prompts but no deadlines or contests or prizes. There are many Christians who aren?t in it though. There is a definite bond.
    Thank you for thinking of including my photo. I forgot to mention in my review that I was amazed at your thinking to make a collage of photos. Very creative!
    Many blessings to you. What Christian magazines or groups do you write for? I would like to consider doing that sort of thing as well. I am in Australia so would need to find similar over here probably.

What a wonderful way of thanking Fanstorians. We are a big family and talk about many things; we help each other because we want to. Never to meet our fellows, basically Americans. Still we get a thrill from hearing and reading their writing. Welcome and do stay awhile. K xx

    Thank you Aussie, but you do realize that you and I have been friends on here for quite some time, don't you? That is why I added your photo of you on my post, because we have been so close. But thank you for the kind review and lovely comments. You are so very right, and I think that is what makes this a home away from home when we come her to write review and hang out for a while.
