Welcome back, and thanks for putting many minds at ease. Joel Send a noteboard - 07/08/2012 04:55:28 PM
Hey all,

I hope to once again be a part of a group of folks I once felt to be like family.

A bit of an update on me:

1. I am now married and happier than I thought possible.
2. I had a major battle with depression, diabetes, heart trouble and bleeding ulcers.....this wound up with me having to go on disability.
3. I spend my daytime hours taking care of my elderly invalid father.

So....what have I missed and who is here that remembers me? :)

You should probably drop Amy a line if you have not yet; I recall (mainly because of anxiously watching the replies) her asking a few times if anyone had heard from you. You have my deepest sympathies for your health issues, which I hope and pray are significantly improved, and enthusiastic congratulation on your marriage and happiness.

If you are on FB, Amanda (AKA Bellaonyx/MrsThomasGaidin) created a wotmaniac group a few months ago that you may want to join (and I would not mind a friendship request either. ;)) I am not sure how much you have missed here in terms of community activity though; it is far lower on RAFO than it was even in the last couple years of wotmania. I would like to believe we sacrificed quantity for quality, but have difficulty doing so. There have, however, been several wotmaniac marriages (in fact, going back to your departure from the old site, my own is included) and births, but that news is best left to those to whom it belongs.

Anyway, and once again, welcome back; sorry about the trials that kept you away, but I am grateful that it sounds like things are much better now, as well as to hear from you once again. :) *hugs muchly*
