I am thrilled to say I got to meet Linda and Stephen on their way through Tennessee. We had a great lunch and got some pictures, of course. Linda brought me a bunch of flowers from her house. It was WONDERFUL and I was honored to meet them both. Here are the pictures. Hope they aren't too big.

What marvelous pictures! Seeing your smiles, makes me smile. Epoman always said that it never happened unless you posted pictures. He would be thrilled that so many members are seeking each other out to meet. Anna, it is so good to see you smiling and enjoying your day.  And Linda and Stephen, how kind you are to take time to meet up with Anna. Our members sure do take care of each other. |

I finally got on the computer tonight, just in time to see that the secret is out! It was absolutely wonderful to meet Anna!  But, both Stephen and I agreed that the visit was not long enough. I think we could have talked for many more hours. The time we did get to spend together just flew by. TynyWonder - maybe we can catch up on another trip. The IHD family is very special |

Very nice, you guys look great. It is very special when we can meet folks from around the country and world who struggle with the same problems and want to take the time to locate them during their travels. Very cool...Boxman

It really was amazing. We cried when we first hugged, it was so great. Linda is part of my family...what a beautiful experience to actually give real hugs to her! I thank Epoman all the time for starting this site. It's a beautiful thing to connect with people who are so supportive and loving and filled with life and hope. |
