Title: Thank you.
Post by: poohkari on November 07, 2007, 06:15:45 PM
I'm not going to be on here anymore because Wade (or his parents, who knows) has decided to move to Memphis and not take me with him. So, im moving back in to my moms house in NY while I try to get things together for me. This is a huge shock for me that came out of nowhere. I dont think ill ever be able to be the same.

You all have been an immense help through the past 6 months. I wish you all nothing but the best, and you will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

Poohkari,
You have done an incredible job of taking care of Wade, researching for him, supporting him in many ways and juggling so much responsibility. I am sorry to hear this and I really wish things could be different. I hope you keep coming back here. We really want to know that you're ok, no matter what.
Best wishes to you!

Oh my gosh!  I can't believe I never saw this thread.

Kari - I hope all is going well for you and hope to hear an update soon.  As a fellow caregiver I know how hard it is.  I hope Wade has come to his senses and realizes what he has done.  As for his parents, ugh!  Shame on them!

I hope you have a wonderful holiday and that the new year brings you much love, luck and joy!

Take care!

Happy New Year, everyone!

I hope you're all doing great - with no hospital stays, and good dialysis for everyone. I'm hanging in there - things got pretty ugly recently, but now that i've let go of everything, i'm doing much better. I can only send Wade my best wishes and be thankful for the times that were good, while refusing to let myself get broken by the circumstances.

I move into Brooklyn February 1, coincidentally into the same bedroom and apartment I lived in 4 years ago! Same roomate, too, who is a great friend, so I am really getting excited! It will be nice to just have to worry about and take care of ME! It's been far too long!

I hope everyone had a great holiday - you are all always in my thoughts!

xoxo kari

Glad to hear from you Pooh!!! 

I'm sorry things got ugly for you. I guess it wasn't to be, unfortunately.

I'm glad you have a new apartment, well, not really new, but it's a fresh start!

You are always welcome!  Please DO let us know how you are!!!

i am sorry I did not see this thread until now also! I do not think Wade understands how lucky he was to have you that accepted him and his situation. There are not a lot of people waiting around to date people with small issues let alone renal failure!

You deserve so much better. I mean, if he moves without u just because of his parents. You would have always been number two in his life.

Take care of you.
Title: Re: Thank you.
Post by: poohkari on March 27, 2008, 11:16:34 PM
there are too many posts to keep up with!!!!

i feel retty selfish for only posting on this thread, but you are just too busy and i really cant keep up!

i miss wade every second of every day, he is in my dreams every single night, and im stilll havng a rough time. apparently he not only has met someone else, but he has moved in with her as well.

(deep breath)

im styaing out on long island through the summer - its lame, but im not ready to be on my own yet. i feel stupid fragile. i jst wish i meant something to someone who meant so much to me.

i miss you terribly, all of you.

Post by: Sluff on March 28, 2008, 03:49:18 AM
You will find someone eventually. Don't rush things, you have some emotional baggage ( I mean this in a loving way)to sort out about you and Wade, once you are at peace with things the guy's will be all around and you can do the choosing. One day at a time. There are a lot of lonely people in the world. I wish you the best.  :-*

Post by: boxman55 on March 28, 2008, 03:57:17 AM
Kari, Sorry to hear you are still emotionally involved. It takes time, everyone is different. The qualities you portrayed on these forums tells me you are a very special woman who deserves a very special man. Please know that sooner then later you will find him and be able to move forward.

Post by: rose1999 on March 28, 2008, 09:24:53 AM
You do mean something to someone, look at all the people on here who care about you.  I agree with Sluff, take one day at a time and if that's too much then just take one hour at a time.  It will get better, I lost my husband and it's hard, but you can go on and you can have a life - just a different one.  Please know that we all care.  :grouphug;

Dear Kari,
I can't believe I just now saw this thread - over 7 months late!! I had been wondering about not seeing you on the boards.  I remember you, fondly, as you were the first person I made a connection with, here. You were/ARE sooo sweet.  I hope things are going well/better for you, these days.  I would like to add my post to all the others in saying *I miss you, too, and hope you'll keep in touch by letting us know how you're doing*.
Once family . . . always family . . .  :cuddle;

Huge hugs,
Charlene aka MyRenalRomance

Always take care of yourself and take one day at a time..that is how I was able to make it, and I always tell people, the right one will come around the corner at the right time for you, don't give up on yourself.
