so i found out today a friend from this site is pregnant, and i am thrilled!!! (hi!) it got me thinking, that its so funny how we can have such depth of emotion for people that we dont even really "know", and have never met. i probly wouldnt recognize anyone of you if i saw you on the street (or at target, ahem, you know who! :) , but yet i pray for all of you, share in your highest highs and lowest lows, celebrate and grieve right along with you. i have "real" friends and family that i dont feel as close to as i do the people here. it must just be that we have all been in the same place at some point, and all are family in a different way. i look forward every day to seeing what is going on in your lives, and sharing my life with you. its so special that we have eachother, whether or not we have ever met. most of us have angels in heaven, and i think that they are all friends, and have brought us all here so we can be together, even tho we are far apart. they say that even awful things happen for a reason. perhaps part of the reason we have all suffered is so that we could find eachother. i am thankful for each of you and want you to know how much your friendship really means to me. i never had a big "circle", and to know that you all are here with me is truly special. god bless all of you!
