I just felt I needed to say this and people needed to hear this.
For some of us it has been a harrowing few days, following on from a sometimes draining few months (or more). I just want to express pride in my friends on this site, share how much I care about you all and value you for your compassion and insight. Insight, especially.
When we read other people's posts here and put our thinking caps on, let us always keep in mind the need to be practical as well as compassionate. And honest, always. There is always value in truth, far more than in merely telling someone what we think they might want to hear. We come here because we need people who have been before us, who can give us the benefit of their wisdom. And then we pay it back, to others who come after.
And I am so proud of you all, for how well you do this when in your lives things are often still way off balance.
Thank you to all of you, my friends.
