A special “thank you note” to the people at Accretive Solutions.

The world's a better place
Because of people like you
Who take the time to do nice things
The way that you do
Thank you so so much
__

Thank you much more
Than I can ever say
because you were thoughtful
in such a nice way!

I’ll never be able to adequately convey the gratitude I feel for the way each of you stuck by me during my time in the hospital, last October. I’m much better now, but still I’m overwhelmed by how close I came to losing by life or at least, my faculties. You visited me, you sat by me, you prayed for me, and you showered me with your love and friendship. I am able to walk without a walker now, I can cook, I can clean, I can drive, I can write, and I can read… I even sang a song the other day. I’m almost better in every way!

You gave me the motivation and the encouragement to hold on, to not give up, and to work diligently to get my old self back. I did it because I knew I had such great people in my corner routing for me. I knew I couldn't let you down. I thank you so much for being there. Believe it or not, I wanted to hurry up and get better so I could come back to work with all of you. I miss you terribly!

Well, because the market is the way it is right now, it doesn’t look like there is a budget for me to come back any time soon. Therefore, I’m making plans to move on. I’ll be going to stay with a friend in New York, while I try to put the pieces of my life back together. But, there is no way I could ever leave without saying good by. I promise to stay in touch, and to keep fighting to be the Camille I was before the aneurysm and stroke.

I started this blog to stay connected and to give you a way to know how I’m doing. I post to it almost daily. This way, you can say, “well she’s blogging, she must be okay…” By commenting, I can also know that you’re okay too.

I believe the market will pick up again, and we’ll all be fine. In the meantime, keep the faith, stay strong, and stay positive. We’ll see each other again soon. I promise.

Until then sincerely,


Camille
