Nancy's Nightly
Newsletters
Nancy (a.k.a. Mom) currently has over
50 penpals to whom she writes, most of whom also have FMS or related conditions.
This network of friends has done a lot for Nancy, helping her through rough
times and giving her a place to feel understood. Another benefit
of this network is that she is able to help others as they have helped
her. One way in which she does this is by putting together "Nancy's
Nightly Newsletters" (NNN's) and sending them out to everyone. (She
doesn't write them each night, she writes them late at night...)
Some of these are humorous glimpses into the life of an FMS sufferer, and
others of them are poignant letters to help a friend through a particularly
rough time. Nancy has allowed me to put these Newsletters out for
all to see, in the hopes that they bring some comfort or laughter to someone
who may be passing through these pages.
