Re: [TMIC] About Lynne--Our ROSEOFRENO.
Dear Grace ~ I cried when I read your letter. When God laid it on my heart to help you I knew you were in troublebut I had no idea exactly how much trouble... and I didn't know your state of mind at that time.until now. Thank God you are still with us..! The love and wealth of information you share with this list is invaluable. I am absolutely thrilled to hear you are paying it forward with your Advocacy Group!!! To say I am humbled by your words is an understatement. I am so glad I resubscribed to the list. I may have missed your letter and that very well may be the most beautiful letter anyone has ever written about me my entire life..so thank you Gracie! When a person finds out that some small gesture they made impacts so many lives in such a positive way as you starting your Advocacy Group.well. it makes any sacrifice so worthwhile...! As I get older I get closer to our Father and I try even harder to listen to what He wants me to do. You have just confirmed for me that some of the difficult decisions I've had to make recently have been the right ones! I'm going to teach my grandbabies the importance of paying it forward I think the younger generation has missed the boat on thismost of them have never even heard the expression. Sending love, Lynn **A bad credit score is 600 below. Checking won't affect your score. See now!

Re: [TMIC] About Lynne--Our ROSEOFRENO.
*Dearest Lynn, * *Thank you so much for your most kind words. You know, several months before you helped me, I had totally given up the advocacy effort, leaving it all in the hands of our founder, Tim Mulvihill. (Deceased since March of 2008, and now the angel on my shoulder.) I was so ill back then, both in body and soul, and the often sad stories of other patients and the deaths that the group had experienced, were just too much for me. Tim and I both, spent many hours crying over the telephone to each other. He was an extremely loving and kind man, and the plight of patients affected him deeply.* *The day that I received that envelope and card from you, I cried like a baby. Can you ever imagine how wonderful it was to know that someone who didn't know me from Adam, actually cared? It opened my eyes and helped me to realize that the singular most important thing I could ever do, would be to let others suffering from this *thing* know that that there was someone out there, who cared what happened to them. * *It's still bittersweet for me, and every now and again, I start to feel overwhelmed and need to withdraw just a bit. I know in my heart that I'll never give it up, and will continue to do the best that I can to reach out to patients, and to spread NMO awareness. (The good and great Lord has blessed me with a very big mouth. ;-) * *Much love, * *Gracie*
