Dearest Tink and CC,
We all know you two will be going thru alot this week with Tink's surgery. It is a scarey thing to go into the hospital and I know your nerves must be getting to your right now.
Tink, I am sure everything will work out fine and I hope that you have a speedy recovery.
From the post you have made here lately, the issues about your family shunning you , has you deeply upset. When we are sick , we feel not only physically hurt, hurting, but we want to know we are loved. We want our families to give a crap too. Sad to say , even when there are times when you think , say surgery , other major family things going on , some die hard JW's will not even call, or send a card. Well, that is their choice and they will someday regret it,,,, may be years from now but I am sure they will regret it.
Rest assured of our love and support here. Those of us who will not be there in body, will be there in spirit , holding your hand ,so to speak,and waiting to hear your condition after surgery. I know it is not the same as your blood relatives, but I have come to think of you as closer to my heart than my JW family. We chat in here , read each others feelings and when it comes down to it blood is not always thicker than water . I would choose to be with so many of you all here on this board than my own father the only JW family I have. After so much of those kind of family members turning their back on you, you have to go on and rely on the ones who really do care about you, enough to say it.
CC, please let us know how she is doing after the surgery, I know you will have your hands full, and will be at her side.
Just think Tink, before you go under the meds, for the surgery, we will all be standing there at your bedside in spirit and thought. Hang in there, it will be over soon, and you will be feeling so much better.
