Me too! It is great to find a group of people who understand that we are all still ‘normal’ people, with hopes and goals and frustrations and feelings. We have a lot to give as well. I think one of my favorite things is that often others feel like they have to ask about your health and that’s the only thing that gets talked about. Sometimes we do want to talk about that but most of the time I suspect we want to forget about that for a little while and just laugh and experience the closeness of friends. Or maybe I’m just speaking for me. Here I can get information or talk about stroke if that’s the way I’m feeling. But I can also speak with people just for the fun in it, like I used to when I was able to get out with friends.
