Thank You's and sad news

[later2nite]

I just wanted to thank everyone for your lovely birthday wishes on September 3rd. I know I haven't been here on LJ very often recently, so I was truly surprised to see all the beautiful birthday posts and the many PM's, V gifts, emails, and ecards. My presence has been so scarce I wouldn't have blamed my f-list if you'd forgotten all about me.

Serious health issues have plagued both my aging parents and my disabled husband for most of the past year, leaving me little time to get online at night. Dealing with everything from my elderly mother being diagnosed with anorexia nervosa to my husband's end-stage chronic kidney disease and being put on dialysis three times a week has been overwhelming. A few of you know that my dad passed away two days before my birthday, on September 1, so needless to say, my family and I have been having a rough couple of weeks. Finding out that so many of you had remembered me was a ray of light at a terribly dark time, as well as physical gifts that came in the mail and personal phone texts, and I want to thank you for that.

I still love QAF and Brian and Justin passionately, and the multiple times I've seen Randy in Cabaret since it opened last January have been the highlight of my existence. So just a word of advice: Don't count me out yet!

You and your family are in my thoughts as you cope with such difficult times. I was saddened to read about the death of your father. I lost my mother earlier this year and know one is never ready for a parent to go.

I'm sending a virtual hug and lots of positive energy - hope it helps a little bit.

*Super big hug* I hope your mom will get well soon. I had that eating disorder so if you want or need to talk about it with me you can. I'm sorry to hear about your father, I know you all loved him very much. Hopefully the treatments will help your husband out. *sad smile*

I'm really sad to hear that. I lost my father 2 years ago (on September 4), nine days before my birthday so I can understand how it hurts. My thougths are with you and your family.

I send to you a lots of positive energy and good vibes.

God is with all of you.

I am so glad you have the fantasy of Randy/Cabaret to balance, to some extent, the pressures of real life.

Take care of yourself. You are obviously needed.
