((((((((((((((Mom))))))))))))))))),

            This post brought tears to my eyes, but in a very good way! Just because you didn't mention my name in specific, I know I was included and that feels FANTASTIC right now! I hadn't seen this post before tonight, and in a way I am glad because reading it now couldn't have come at a better time!!! Thank You for posting it, and making me smile!

HUGS,

I hope this is the right place for this. I am not the best of writers either, so bare with me, ok?

This group of people defies all laws of logic and reason.

We were brought here because of horrible, traumatic experiences.
We have been hurt in all ways possible.
We have been hurt by family, friends, and strangers.
We have every right to be hateful, nasty, mean, and horrible people.

But this group of people has gone against nature.

We are loving people.
You can see that with all of the hugs we give to each other!

We are compassionate people.
You can see that with all of the tears we shed for each other!

We are lovable people even though we feel like we can’t be loved.
You can see that because each person here has around 840 people who love them no matter what!

We are intelligent people even though we feel otherwise.
You can see that by the eloquent writing and wise advice seen here every single day!

We are strong people.
You can see that from the amount of messages that people are brave enough to write!

We are INCREDIBLY strong people.
You can see that because there is a SHARE YOUR STORY forum and it is NOT empty!

We are all worthwhile because we are here!
We are all brave because we are here!
We are all special because we are here!

So, Pandy’s family, every time you write because you feel hopeless, unloved, scared, or anything else, you are really proving all of the things I have written here. That you are worthwhile, special, brave, loving, caring, and incredibly loveable!

Thanks to everyone in this group! You have all made a difference in my life and I will never ever forget it.
Love,
Michelle
