FOR US.

For some of us, its been years; for others, months; and for some, its only been weeks or days, but we all belong.

We’ve seen romantic engagements, hectic wedding plans, and crazy in-laws somehow, through a lot of sweat and tears, turn into the best days of our lives. We’ve seen new love bloom, and long-term commitments lose trust and dissipate. We’ve seen conception, and unfortunately, we’ve seen miscarriage and the loss of God’s sweet little angels. We’ve seen many births, and equally as many deaths. We've said prayers for sick loved ones, and we're grateful for little miracles. We're always here for each other, and we make it through.

When we’re overjoyed and want to share our happiness with the whole world, the whole world starts here. When we’re down, self-doubting, insecure, lonely, scared, warm, cold, sick, uncomfortable, uneasy, unsure of the next step, all we have to do is reach out, and there are plenty of hands to guide us.

In a world where trust is not secure, our hearts and souls are not protected, its hard to let it all out sometimes. More often than not, there is someone else that has lived through what you’re going through, and will do anything to see that you make it out all right.

This is love. Who could’ve known that in this realm of cyber-space, we could discover and develop such pure, unadulterated bonds?

We are not a mere “community”.
In fact, we’re nothing short of a FAMILY.

Re: FOR US.

Deb, I just read your post from earlier tonight. I'm sorry this is so similar....its just something I started thinking about on my way home tonight.

I was driving, in traffic, on the Northern State Parkway. I saw and accident, and all of a sudden, it just hit me like a ton of bricks.

I worry about having bad skin reactions for family portraits. I worry about paying tuition. I worry that I won't find another job if/when I decided to leave my current position.....meanwhile, a woman that I've spoken with, made a connection with...LOST HER HUSBAND. She lost her love, lost half of her soul. My heart breaks for her.

I am so lucky, and I never even stop to think about it.



for you all.

Re: FOR US.

OMG...I am hysterically crying. This was the most beautiful post I've ever read...



I can HONESTLY say that I wouldn't have been able to make it through the loss of my son without the support of many of the wonderful women from this site.

I truly believe it when you say that we are FAMILY!!!

Re: FOR US.

Beautifully put Nic!
Lot's of to everyone!

Re: FOR US.

Just when we think we have it bad, there is someone out there who has it much worse.

Live for the day, because it can all change so fast.
