andyp Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Well-I actually missed it by a day!! (7/11/04) I was a bit pleased about that cos I thought I would never forget the date! So after 3 years how do I feel and what has changed? Well...I think of the SAH every day ..still. To answer a few other posts I am not the same person that I was 3 years ago and I never will be..and I don't want to be! I realise something of what is important in life-I have experienced a range of feelings and problems that have I believe made me better for it. No-I really wouldn't ask to have them again ..but I can see the positives. I still value my family-I value life -especially my wife and daughter-but I need to show it! I think I am a little more in touch with myself. My faith is stronger-I have risen to a few challenges and come through. Life has still thrown quite a few bum deals to me... but that is often what life is..a series of problems! This year I managed to study Human Biology with the OU!!! And passed! My brain still works! I sometimes find myself doing things out of character..but with a renewed strength that I never had before. Do I have issues?..You bet I do still!! I still struggle with lots of things...I found my mum had taken an overdose about a month ago....not good!!! I got involved in an Anthony Nolan clinic in the middle of this and could easily have chucked it all out the window..but someone carried me through. I still question..life, The Universe and everything.... I still want to make a difference. I still remember the coldness of the angio suite. ..and I have met some great people on this site!

Skippy Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Hey Andy Long time no speak I'm sorry to hear about your mum, I hope that she's OK Great people on this site, yep definitely, and you know what? You're one of them. I'll never forget first joining this site and being in a mess and you kindly photocopied a whole information booklet and posted it to me. That booklet was the beginning of saving my mental state of life. This site is a fabulous place with wonderful people - one of which is you. I hope that you are keeping well and congratulations on passing Biology. The OU is a brilliant place to learn. Maybe one day I will continue with my degree but I know at the moment I couldn't possible handle it. May your faith grow stronger and your life be full of love and happiness. Take care hun Love Sami xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy, you've done brilliantly and I know that you've had more than your fair share of struggles .... It's always been a pleasure to speak to you and you're very well grounded ...
