Re: Digest Number 2749 Welcome

[Guest guest]

Welcome to , and !

I think there may have been someone I missed, Rhonda, maybe?

If anyone else I am truly sorry.

You will all love this group it is full of truly amazing people.

I have learned more about life and compassion and giving and friendship from

this group of people that I have never met than almost all of the people that

I have.

There is never any comment that goes unnoticed, no question that goes

unanswered, no concern that goes without someone stepping in and saying all

of the right things.

If and when I ever " grow up " (and I am 40 now so I doubt it), I hope to be

able to offer someone in this world the gifts that this group has offered me.

Okay, now I am crying AGAIN, I'll go, but just once more

, I'm printing this out as I type, and I'm pasting it in my journal. This

is something I want to KEEP FOREVER. Thank you for those amazing words, and for

staying with group even when your life is overwhelming, and offering as much

support as you can, and asking for it when you need it...thank you.

Love,
