The AMAZING friends I have met here at BFP in such a short, but wonderful time!! During times of great duress and hardship that makes having courage harder for me, I have made some incredible connections with truly warm, generous, kind friends. These connections really touch me and have brought me such comfort and confidence!!
Some of these friends have reached out to me; others have, in turn, offered me sincere support, compassion and no-expectations understanding of my emotional boundaries and physical limitations. For the first time, I feel as if they've "got my back". I didn't know how good that could feel because it was always me giving that kind of support, but not receiving it.
I've been blessed with meeting a few of my new friends in person, during the grief of my father's passing, and hope to meet others in the near future. Christie, Jess, Sachita...and a few others... I was *kinda* near your area after the funeral, but I'm sorry I didn't have an opportunity to let you know and set up a get-together. Maybe next time under more happy circumstances? Gemmie, Odarlin...and a few others ;) ;) ... since you live so far away... I hope to meet you at the Reunion! HOPEFULLY, but on unemployment, I'm not sure? (I've left a few names off my list here, because some people don't like being called out... but I'm NOT forgetting you, I PROMISE!!)
I really like that Our AMAZING BFP Community and how I am treated here has helped me slowly get over my "wall flower" hang-ups and has made me feel comfortable & welcome here.
I really like connecting with some INCREDIBLE, UNIQUE individuals that bless my life and offer me such compassionate, kind, sincere friendship!!
As I've mentioned before, I have no or limited access to Community here... and I HATE going to bars to socialize. Maybe I feel this way because I didn't know what kind of RT support groups, Action Groups, or safe social groups to look for? My interaction here has helped with that as well... and I'd really like to find some RT activities that offer the same support system and opportunity to meet more AMAZING people.
I am so happy that I did not leave this site when I was told on numerous occasions, and if it wasn't told directly... it had been stongly implied, that I didn't belong.
I really like that Medusa dedicated special time out of her busy busy CRAZY day to help me out with a few things. YOU ROCK!!
MUCH LOVE AND TLC!!!
Sweet
