On July 30th of 2004, I came to CAA. I didn't know where to put this, so I just put it here. I'm sorry if the thread should go some place else here at the board.

I’m not much for writing long posts at times, but I feel that I just need to say something that comes from the heart.

I have been to message boards before, but little that I know. When I came to CAA a year ago, I would find my home away from home. This place and the people that post here are my other family or my internet family. This place has a very deep meaning to me and it will be something that I will always remember.

When I came to CAA last year, I wasn’t happy with my life or the thing that I had to deal with in my life. Having a heart problem and having aids is not easy to deal with and there has been a time that I would look at the bad stuff in life and not the good. I know if I didn’t have God in my life or a family that cared about me, I would have killed myself any years ago. I never understand why I was still here in this world after all the years that I had a lot of hurt and pain. All I know is that God has a plan for me and everyone else too. I may not know what that plan that God has for us, but we know what he has laid out for us one day. But I know one path that God showed me and that was finding CAA.

I was missing something in my life and there were times that I thought about leaving the church and turning away from my faith. But I found CAA and met a lot of people here and reading about a lot of stuff that a lot of you had to deal with in life. Getting to know the people here and the stories that we all have shared, it made me rethink about my life. What a year it has been since joining CAA! I have change a lot and now I don’t feel that I’m missing anything in my life. I grown stronger in my faith with God and I’m happier person and think about the good stuff and not the bad so much anymore. I can thank all the people here for that and all of you are close internet family. You have all help me a lot over the pass year and I just want to thank to you all for that.

It is my honor and my priveliege to witness such stories here, and I thank God for such a blessing as this community.
