This is just a thankyou for to my IHD friends. :thx;

I have to honestly say that this year has been by far the worst year of my life. I have lost so much and have gone through the deepest black holes only to be brought out of it by friends that really care. I have felt the love and care all the way from around the world.

I just want to thank each and every one of you for thinking, praying, messaging, mailing and chatting with me this past year. 

I would not have made it otherwise of this I am very sure.

I wish you all and your families the most wonderful Christmas and lots of hope, love and happiness  (and lots of money) for the new year. 

I love you lots  :flower;

ps "Dankie" is thankyou in my language and it is pronounced donkey.  :rofl;

Des, I always love your posts. In my mind, I've already moved to Africa, and reading bits about your culture makes it seem that much more real.

You've brought so much humour and color to this site. Fingers crossed that 2011 is your year.  :grouphug;

No doubt about it...2010 has been a crap year and I for one will be celebrating wildly when it's over!!  IHD has been one consistent source of comfort and even joy, and I am extremely grateful.  I have been talked down, built up, encouraged, laughed with and fussed over by many IHD members, and it has been an experience I'll never forget.

Thanks, Des, for starting a thread where we can all give ourselves well deserved pats on the back.
