This place has become a home.

[Allegory]

I love being able to come here and see the compassion and admission of humanity.

It is something lacking in my offline life right now.

I truly value all of you.

To those of you who take the time to PM me, know you are cherished.

To everyone who logs in here with the intent to build the best community we can, I am grateful you have made your way here.

I have been absent for a few days due to some external pressures.

Tonight I couldn't sleep, and came through and read all of the back postings I've missed.

I was washed over with the feeling of security and family.

Then I realized I need to be up in a few hours for the holiday.

I took a Modafinil and may have gone into focus overdrive and had a bit of a posting spree.

Reading several hundred constructive posts from caring people got me all teared up.


You probably know I try to keep on topic and informative, and so this thread was born.

An appropriate place to tell you I love you all, and am crying like when I first watched 'The Vow'.


So... that's that. Go you! Whoever is currently reading this, you are special.

*Ahem* Now please return to business as normal. You are excused.
