How wonderful of you to remember - which is more than I did!
JWD was initially a lifeline for Claire and I; a place where we could unload our innermost feelings with others who knew exactly what we were saying. Many have become our friends, a kind of extended family.
Just when I was getting my life back after exiting Watchtower I was hit with the cancer. A cruel blow at any time, but I felt hit especially hard because Claire and I were so looking forward to living life free of guilt and mind-control. Happily, I am free of the disease now and getting stronger every day and Claire and I are starting do the things we intended before I fell ill four years ago.
JWD has changed so much during the five years I have been posting and I miss many of the old posters. However, there are still many genuine souls here and newer ones need our help just as Claire and I needed it when we first joined.
I no longer post as much as previous because I am so busy trying to make up for the four lost years I experienced at the hands of cancer. I really was walking about in a kind of daze all those years, often drugged up with chemo and other medications and fighting to control my sanity at every waking moment. A mark of the loving affection I experienced here was the start of the vigil threads, which was originally instigated for me alone but which, happily, has now been extended to others suffering serious illness. Like me, they have and still are benefitting.
My life has been put into perspective through the black four years I experienced and I will just be popping in once or twice a week. My daughter Stephanie, who posts here as Faundy, will likely be more of a regular poster than I. I know you will understand this.
Thank you all for celebrating my anniversary with me. We have been through so much together.
Love,
Ian
