Laurie:

Big hugs to you on this sad anniversary. I am working late tonight but had to take a quick break and let you know that I have been keeping you in my thoughts and prayers today. Your message touched me in my feelings and inspired me. Thank you for sharing your story. This community is a blessing to me, and I am so glad you are here. Thank you for the wisdom and encouragement you have shared with me.

Blessings,
Heather B.

Bless you Laurie. Your story is an inspiring one. Working out has gotten me through the death of both my parents, so I can relate to what you went through.

May you continue to be strong and happy. My sympathy to you on this sad anniversary, but best wishes for the future.

RE: Hugs!!!

Fantastic post Laurie. I was sorry to hear of your loss but you have dealt so well with everything in such a positive way...
 
RE: Hugs!!!

Laurie ((((HUGS))))... your post brought tears to my eyes also. I have enjoyed getting to *know* you on the forum these last 2 1/2 years since I came aboard and always read your posts which never fail to lift my spirits. You have such a sunny personality that shines through your words. You are such an amazing and strong woman. We are all richer for having you here.

Laurie,

My husband and I have been married for 12 years, and I can't imagine being without him, though I know someday it will come to pass. Your post made me stop and truly appreciate the joy of having him with me.
You are an amazing woman, and your daughters are so blessed to have you for their mother. God be with you until you all meet again.
 
Laurie - I've also "known" you for a while. You are one of the most gracious, loving, living women I have ever met. I so admire you, and I adore the way you are your daughters are just so close. You are such an inspiration. I'm honored to know you, my dear!
 
Dear Laurie and Gayle,

Your stories are so bittersweet, and it's wonderful to hear that you both are doing so well after suffering such a great loss! Hugs to you both!!

Laurie, I am moved by your beautiful post and inspired by your courage. You are a model for what it takes to pick your feet up and continue to take one step at a time continually moving forward.

Big ((((hugs))) to my Cheetah GF's Wendy, Christine and Cathy (keep forwarding baby, you make me smile). I may have wandered from the pack but once a Cheetah, always a Cheetah :)

Belinda, I love the mother/daughter presence of you and Alesia here!

Nancy, thanks for making me think and see things differently with your insightful posts and copious humour!

JeanneMarie, the power of fitness translates so well to other parts of our full lives. I'm sorry for your losses. I miss seeing your smiling face from your avatar:)

Heather, thanks for your kindness. You help us all to see the multitude of blessings in our lives with your faith and humanity.

I wanted to thank you all personally but my daughter needs a math test signed, lunches aren't done yet and how did the laundry hamper get so full AGAIN!?! Thanks for reading my story and for your kind responses, my gratitude is to all of you for the wonderful ebb and flow of positivity, venting, humour, knowledge and,yes, even the occasionaly drama. Life's a mosaic and Cathe.com is a fabulous representation of diversity and good will all in the name of fitness. So glad to be a part of it!!

Take Care
Laurie:)
 
Laurie, what a beautiful post! Bless your heart! I can't tell you how many times I have admired you (AND Gayle) for what you have been thru. But, even so, you bring so much life to cathedotcom! I often wonder what we would do without it??? I can't imagine! My DH is my best friend in all the world and I cannot imagine losing him. You show me what a strong woman "looks" like! You have inpsired me so many times over the years and I apologize for not taking the time to thank you! I've lost my mom, dad and brother all at young ages but I truly think losing my DH would be the hardest of all. (Even though I still miss my parents and brother beyond words!) I count it a blessing to "know" you and truly hope someday that we can meet in person. A HUGE HUG awaits! :7 Thank you for who you are and for making me truly appreciate my DH, family and friends NOW! I am so glad you are a special part of these forums and I look forward to being here for many years to come with you! Lots of LOVE!

Wow, Laurie. I've read lots of your posts but am not on the forum frequently enough to have known about your loss. I'm so very sorry to hear about it, but SO inspired by the way you've carried on. I've been fortunate because I've not lost a spouse, close family member or friend yet and I can't even imagine that kind of grief and inner struggle, though it's inevitable at some point. Anyway, I'm saying a little prayer for you today. God bless you for being strong and for being a soldier for your kids.

Tears rolling down on my face and I cannot stop. Such a beautiful story. Thank you Laurie for sharing with us. Your story has truly touched many and honored to be part of the same family here with you.

I know I would never have made this far, almost 10 years with Cathe if I have not joined this forum for support from real people like you.
