AuntFancy, I love the part about your Dad telling your siblings that we can't lose her, no matter what. Wow. What a loving, unconditional Dad!
What you said about meetings and panic attacks, is so true. Sometimes, to me, going, I felt like a Christian, forced into a Roman arena. Not a happy place, but knowing aka being told you have to be there, you have to do this, even though your mind and body were trying to tell you something different.
I am glad you are getting good medical care and you are getting better. What can I say AuntFancy...6 surgeries and one meal from the congo. That really is shameful.
Unfortunately, the phrase, "Jehovah's Witneses are known for the love among them", is just that, a phrase, or if you will, a catchy slogan. It is not the reality. Don't think your congregation, Circuit or District, were ignoring you, because, they do it to everyone. lol
So happy you and your High School Sweetheart are in a successful fade. Yes! Good triumphs over Evil, Again!
Just Lois
