DONT EXCLTY KNOW COY YET BLESS HIS HEART. DEATH IS SO REAL YET UNFAIR YET ALSO NECCESARY. MAY THE LORD BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. TERESA

I've never posted here before, didn't even realize there was a teen forum.. so now that I found it hopefully I'll pay closer attention. I turn 19 next month (September 16th) and I had open roux-en-y April 25th (05') and so I'm almost 4 months out and I'm only about 80 lbs down from the surgery itself. I'm wondering if I'm doing worse than most people do around my age. I feel like it's moving so slow... like maybe I'm doing something wrong. I work out all the time and I don't eat anything that's really unhealthy. I don't know. Maybe I'm just not getting the support I need that's helping me notice my progress. Am I doing bad? Can anyone offer me any advice? Thank you... ~Katt~

Hi everyone. Our buddy, Coy, needs prayer and support from all of us. His dad passed away on August 13. (Yesterday) He's had a very difficult week: His dog died on the 8th, and just a few days later, his father as well. --- (((((Coy))))) I want you to know that I'm really feeling for you. You are a very sweet guy, and it breaks my heart to know that you feel such sadness, that you are torn up inside. Please, don't fear grief. Let it wash over you, like a strong wave in the ocean. Don't be afraid of drowning, just let yourself feel... Because it will pass, and you will breathe again soon. "Cry when you want to, laugh when you can" (A quote from 'Tear Soup') God Bless you and your family, Coy. I am praying for you. Amanda, in Ohio
