Topic: Thanks Marianne
On the occasion of my 400th post I'd like to thank my parents, without whom none......etc
No really, I have to thank Marianne because she directed me here, to this strangely wonderful and thoroughly addictive place, inhabited by some truly exceptional people. I have been fortunate in making new friends here, some of whom I have met at concerts, many more of whom I probably won't meet till next April.
So many of you have been kind, helpful and supportive when I needed help. Joe's music, this forum, and the relationships I have built with some of you, have been the bridge that has carried me from dark days to increasingly better days. For that I shall be eternally grateful.
Above all though, mere words cannot express how important our forum Granny Cathy has been in my healing process. She sent me an astonishingly kind email when I first registered here, a mere five months ago, and we kept in casual touch from then. I had a little emotional dip on Valentine's day, which prompted another particularly lovely mail from her, and we've now been in daily contact since then.
Dear Cathy, you are a glorious kindred spirit who has come to mean the world to me this last month. My life is so much better for knowing you. Thank you for filling one particular void in my life! I only hope our first meeting comes before the RAH, so we can meet without everyone watching. 
Rock On and keep the Faith
