Folks, today is my last new topic post as a forum administrator.
I plan to remain active as a registered user going forward. I was part of the original launch of this forum in June 2018 and have watched it grow to over 600 members in that time.
This forum is becoming a community and one of the goals was to have members interact with each other on this forum. I see that happening and I am so thankful to all of you for sharing your stories. It is good to know we are not alone and for myself, I can say I have learned a lot from the members.
I will still be creating an article every month in my column: https://parkinsonsnewstoday.com/category/slow-is-the-new-fast-a-column-by-jean-mellano/
May you all have a wonderful 2020!

Although I am fairly new to this form I want to thank you for your encouraging words and insights. I look for your name on the form to make sure I read what you have written. I can’t express how much I appreciate this forum. It’s the first thing I look for every day…..and coffee! All the very best to you Jean.

Toni, usually if there is a link in the response it will flag for moderation, but you had no links… go figure…

George, Toni, Michael.. thank you so much for your kind words.. i do hope for a cure for all of us in 2020 and i will still be active on the forum, not just as a moderator…

Thank you so much for creating a safe, interactive, supportive community, Jean. You and Ally have been wonderful. Will anyone else be stepping into your shoes?
I hope you’ll continue to be a contributor and conversation starter here! I’m glad you’ll be continuing to write articles — I look forward to reading more of them in the future!

Dear Jean:
First of all, you will be sorely missed, but life goes on and we have to accept that most good things come to an end. I’m glad to hear you’ll be continuing Slow is the New Fast and I still think you should find a publisher for the whole series. It’s the best real, up front and honest description of someone who suffers “hard-core” Parkinson’s that I’ve seen anywhere. Like I think I told you, my wife cried when she read my Catalan excerpts from your work.
You’re an inspiration to us all and if my PD ever gets to a critical state, I won’t be bitch and whining: I’ll be trying to live up to your example.
God bless you,
Lou -
thank u so much lou for your kind words and encouragement. know that i do have my bitching and whining days. i just try not to give in to it. somedays i am better at being strong. one of my upcoming articles was started when i was in a bad place. However, i had to set it aside until i felt i could put a more positive spin on the struggle. please stay in touch..

Thank you Andrew for your words of wisdom… “…one moment at a time”
