For those who care...I'm depressed. I think it runs in the family but a girl who goes to my church and who I'm kind of friend with has cancer and it's thrown me for a loop. Actually it's thrown EVERYONE who knows her. I'm REALLY down, tired too. *sigh*
SadSam
ps. I think I should call this the Frodo syndrome where you get depressed at the end of March

olsonm · 03-18-2002, 12:59 AM

I care sam.

Please feel better.

FrodoFriend · 03-18-2002, 01:04 AM

I'm sorry, Sam! Feel better soon! I hope your friend will be okay. You should come online more, we miss you around here!

Eruviel Greenleaf · 03-18-2002, 03:45 AM

I care too, Sam. Feel better, and hopefully your friend will be okay!

Laurelyn · 03-18-2002, 06:52 AM

We care about you, Sam!
I hope your friend gets better and your Frodo syndrome

goes away!!!

**crickhollow** · 03-18-2002, 02:59 PM

*She has a wacky sense of humor.
*Her signature cracks me up every time I read it.
*She likes Frodo

haha, this is kinda hard to do since I only know you from a mb, but there are others here who can continue the list!

Sam, I know just a bit what you're going through. Last year one of the girls that I had taught for three years in Sunday School passed away b/c of a brain tumor. It was really hard, and I felt totally helpless. While she was still sick, I started sending her notes and cards and fun stuff via snail mail. It cheered her up, and her parents thought it was great, too. It's just a suggestion if you are feeling helpless. It also lets her know that you care, and are thinking about her. When you're sick and not in contact w/ people, you tend to think that everyone has forgotten you.

galadriel88 · 03-18-2002, 07:41 PM

Feel better Sam!

We care about you, we really do.

More things we love about Sam:

*She is always cheerful
*She sticks up for what she believes in
*She is nice to everyone
*I have never seen her complain about an Admin!

Eowyn, The Lioness · 03-18-2002, 07:51 PM

Oh! I'm sorry to hear that! I hope she gets better!

Wayfarer · 03-18-2002, 09:43 PM

I really, really, want to say something comforting...
But that would be breaking character...

*sigh*

Hey. Even the cynical wizard type cares about you. I wish I could send you to valinor, but sadly that's not an option.

All I can say is, go ahead and cry. Be sad. Because life sucks. As stupid as we are we have to care about people. And it hurts, bad sometimes. But it's ok, because no matter how bad it seems, there's always life after pain.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 03-18-2002, 10:15 PM

Wow, Wayfarer, that was cheerful!

"I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil"

It's okay to cry, but I sincerely hope that your life will take a turn for the better, and your friend will be okay.

*lots and lots and lots of virtual hugs for Sam!*

And I care too! My grandpa died of cancer. I hardly remember him. So I kind of sort of know how you feel. But not really; no one could ever know exactly.
