The sharing of your stories are most moving, and I am happy to have found this thread. I am an Orthodox Christian. To me, prayer is what has kept me alive till today. Although I have not prayed to the Tsar's Sister, I have prayed to and for the entirety of the imperial family' souls, and this has offered me much inner peace. Facing multiplicity of health issues and ongoing pain without relief of medication, that prayer has sustained me even through these difficult trials. I must also thank again the many members who have been kind enough to continue to pray for me as well. I believe that group prayer has helped me also.
I look forward to returning to this wonderful thread to read your stories and help me to keep a positive attitude. Don't forget to visit the AP Forum thread of our 'Cheer Section'. I am looking for those willing to share their bio's and stories of how they are and have battled serious diseases and disabilities and continue to 'live and work' in their communities. I feel this is a great place to share our stories, and give understanding to our readers, that peoples with disabilities, etc., are productive peoples. I think the sharing of your faith is of the greatest importance.
God Bless the memory of Ella, and God Bless all of you.
