I loved this. In my life, I have been blessed by friends. I lost one of my dearest friends several years ago. My best friend and I connect in ways I can't even describe. We have had a 50+ year friendship. It is a gift I treasure.
I am glad you had friends to help you through the dark times and hope you are feeling much better now!

Hello! Are you new to Fanstory? I don't remember seeing your penname before. I like it. If you don't mind I'd love to know what your real name is.
I'm happy you have friends in your life. They are the best.
I'm feeling much better now as I peruse the welcome page of our beloved fanstory.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Hello Janice. Welcome back to fanstory.

Comment from Pam (respa)
Thanks for sharing everything, Jesse, and you did a good job expressing your feelings, letting others know there are different ways to deal with life's issues. They don't have to be alone. It is an important message.
I'm sorry you had to be in the hospital, but I'm glad you shared your experience. I am glad you are home, and I like your reference to the song. Friendship is important and allows us to express our feelings and share ideas. I'm glad you gave credit to your team in the notes and that you shared your experience. Hope you have a great day and week ahead. It was good to see you on FanStory.

Hello Pam.
You sound like it has been a long time since I posted and I guess it has so it feels good to be back on FS with all of my friends here encouraging me to be a kind person and treat others with compassion.
Thanks for the positive feedback and the kind comments.
Enjoy the day.
Jesse

Comment from Begin Again
An excellent and heartfelt gesture, Jesse! Debi posted today that it's National Thank You Day, and she also titled it Friends are family we choose. It appears as if you already knew that with your endearing post. I am thrilled that you had others to lean on when you couldn't do it yourself. No one should ever be alone.
Smiles and hugs, Carol

Hello Carol. I'll have to check out Debi's post later today. We seem to be on the same wavelength today. Yes, leaning on my friends and caregivers was the right thing to do. Being alone in a hospital is a scary experience to go through.
Thanks for the smiles and hugs.

Hope you are feeling better. Have a great day!

Each day I am feeling better and better.
I will enjoy the day and I hope you will as well.

Thank you for sharing this, Jesse! How scary - I didn't know you were in ER with pneumonia in both lungs! How very painful. Yes, caregivers and especially your caregivers who are also friends are so important as they must also be advocates for you. So glad that you wrote this - it shows you are on the mend. Hugs and prayers for full healing!

Thanks, Helen, for your supportive care and hugs sent my way.
Yes, I am on the mend and recovering nicely with the help of my team of caregivers. We watch each other's back. Our love shows in the way we share affection.
Thanks for your hugs and prayers.

Comment from Karen Cherry Threadgill
I am as poor as can be, so I have no money to send to people in need. What I offer is advice, stories, jokes, companionship, wild ideas, and real earned logic. I think the ability to offer myself as an ear means a lot to some folks. We all do what we can, and together, that is enough. Karen

So, you earn your logic. From the school of hard knocks, I suppose.
Active listening is a lost art that needs to come out of hiding. All your friends here appreciate your bent ear as you carefully listen patiently to our problems.
And yes, that is enough.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Comment from karenina
Hi, Jesse
You have been on my mind of late and when notification of your post popped up I couldn't wait to get here!
This is beautifully written, so clearly from your heart I had to smile wide and be thankful for the truest healing that evolves from people caring...and going out of their way to advocate for those who so desperately need it!
The beauty here is not just that you got better and are now at home (although I am ecstatic at that!)
The beauty is throughout our FS friendship you have proven to be, time and time again, the compassionate, caring, true-blue friend that you are now surrounded with!
In a world so driven by division, you have shown us what peace there is in giving of ourselves.
Bravo, sir! One million stars... but alas I have five.
Stay well! We need your steady, and empathic voice!
Your writing excels with every post!

Thanks, Karenina, for your sympathetic view of my situation. You encourage me every time I post to do better and display my empathetic voice to the rest of the readers here on FS.
Our friendship excels with every post. I remember the old days and am grateful for today. We grow in different ways yet remain friends until the end. What end, there is no end. Forever friends!

Comment from lancellot
Yes, I fully understand how having people in your corner, and having a circle of friends can be and is a necessity of a complete life. What's that old saying? No man is an island. There is a lot of truth in that. We are communal beings. Glad you're feeling better.
