It is Time to Say Good-bye

I started writing for the Heartburn / GERD site in May 2003. It was a brand new site, so I had the privilege of developing this site from scratch. Despite the fact that it has been fun, it has come time for me to say good-bye and retire. This decision was made, in part, because I have several medical conditions that I need to concentrate on. I am also one of the caregivers for my grandson, who has spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy, Lennox Gestaut Syndrome, and several other health conditions. I am also helping to care for my sister who has advanced Parkinson's Disease.

So it is with a mixture of emotions that I am leaving. I am looking forward to my retirement, but I will be sad when I'm to no longer be part of a great community.

Thank you for following along with the Heartburn / GERD site.

Bye!  Sharon
