[QUOTE]Originally posted by MargaretSPfan: [QB] Oh, Andy..... I am beyond sorry for the passing of Mike Smith and your other friend. My condolences to you and their families and their other friends. I am so sorrythat you have developed PTSD. I don't know how anyone who has to deal with what you and other police officers and other first responders and ER staff manage to deal with that stuff. You are all heroes to me. We all need all of you to be there in our times of need, and we don't always tell you folks how much you mean to us. Thank you. Now I understand why you have been absent from these pages for so long. Do what you can to heal, and stay in touch when you can. You did not need to apologize for your initial post. You shared what was on your heart, and what you wrote made a lot of sense. I am touched by your honesty, and I appreciate it. As others have said, you are among friends here. I am rambling, too -- I can’t help it. Just can’t find a better way to say what I want to say. And I have very much missed your posts here. No matter what you write, it is always interesting. And I like you, even though, as you know, we do not agree politically. But --- phooey on politics! People matter, and good relationships between people matter a lot. I am surprised that neither you nor your former department can find a suitable person you can work with to help you deal with your PTSD -- and also your grief at losing so many friends in such a very short time. (I hope I did not make things worse for you by talking about this.) Also -- your family needs to respect our needs when it comes to caring for your parents. You have to take care of yourself or you cannot help anyone else. Yeah, taking a train trip should be good for you. If you feel up to it, please post a trip report here after you get back -- or even from the train, if you feel like it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
