Title: Hemm returns
Post by: hemm on March 22, 2018, 01:05:28 PM

I feel new.  Been "gone" for close to 5 years.  The last couple have absolutely sucked.  I lost 2 parents (one inlaw and one my own) to cancer.  A terrible disease I'd wish on no one. 

Then, a little over 4 months ago we lost our youngest Son to PTSD induced suicide. He was 25 and we are slowly coming to the realization that we'll never understand it and never have the answers we want.  I don't feel like I am walking around having a heart attack all the time, now its only some of the time. Another disease I'd wish on no one.

Well, another fellow IAF'er hit me up the other day, so I tried to get here and couldn't.  Still need some help getting my account squared away (IDP, please help  ::praying:: , I sent you a pm)

I "see" lots of familiar "faces" so.....I'll be see'in ya.

Hemm

So nice to welcome one of ours back home. For those relatively new, Hemm was there from the very beginning - from back before we migrated from Powerline Blog Forum in the early 2000s.

So... Hemm is having a hard time with his old login info, being that it's been unused for 5 years... so, I'm deleting his account, and he's gonna try to set up a new one from scratch... wish us luck...

I gave him the official and technical thumbs-up, so I hope it works.

I can't imagine how much pain that involved.  Sorry I just don't have the words to make it better.  All I can do is offer up another  ::grouphug:: and welcome you back.

Hemm - my heart aches to read of your troubles. My prayers to you and your family. I'm glad you persevered and found the time to came back and share.

Believe me when I say that, as hard as it is, it is easier when you have friends.
