A wonderful person who shares so much here!
« on: January 24, 2007, 12:48:49 pm »
(this is in appreciation to one person, but know that so many others here also deserve recognition... your's are forthcoming! Trust me! :) )

Well, in over 1-1/2 years I have been an active participant on this forum, I have had the opportunity to get to know so many wonderful folks... whether "virtual" meets, phone, in person, on webcam.... there is a particular person here, who had endured and most of all, continues to thrive and best of all... has been SO welcoming and active on this website.

It seemed not that long ago that some of us were (based on our posting counts) "Jr members, Sr. members, Hero members".  Well, as you will see below, this person is a fantastic "hero" in my book... she has achieved a remarkable milestone for this website and I commend her for all of the hugs, words of encouragement, giggles, tears and smiles she has provided to many newly diagnosed AN patients, as well as those of us that have been around for a while.

So, I post this thread here, in the "AN Community" forum, because she has certainly embodies what it is to be a part of this very special community!

Battyprincess, thank you for your time and energy and all you do for this website!   :-*

Battyprincess milestone:  Over 2000 posts!!!!!!!!!!!  Amazing!

xoxo

Congrats Batty!
I'm not much of a poster but I am very much a reader and have truly enjoyed your posts.  You are empathetic and so supportive (funny too!).

Michelle,  Since the very first day of my membership to the forum, you have been my inspiration and poster pal whose comments were always welcomed.  I declared you "Hero" in my book a long time ago.  Thanks for all of the inspiration and encouragement in my own AN journey.  Congratulations!
