When I was younger I thought about how lucky I was to be born into a family that was large and loving. My Mother reminded me that our happiness would measure sorrow. She told me that a large loving family has a price tag, when you love someone you will carry their sorrow too.
When I started a blog I had no idea that I would meet others and feel a genuine kindness and affection from it. I have been amazed time and time again how much I receive from your words and outpouring of friendship. How fortunate I have been to know you, to receive your guidance and support. Your friendship has been a strong arm to lean upon.
The community gathered here is beyond measure… so many helpful thoughts, comments, prayers, advice, a steadfast sisterhood (with a few brothers!) It is a place were I am certain to find courage and grace. Thank you for being an active part of this blog as well as being like family to me.
Reading through the comments I see that I am not alone. Many of you like my large loving family, have experienced the same journey that I am on. You have walked this path before. Sharing your experience, your wisdom has been a light leading me, making the steps easier to take. Knowing that you have passed this way before brings compassion, lends a trust that I too can walk this journey and survive.
Thank you for being part of my world.
