It is strange to think that people you could bump into at the grocery store and not recognize face to face could be the very person who provides real solace and comfort in the blogosphere. I have been thinking a lot lately of what my internet friendships mean to me (because I've been *attempting* a computer break) and I've discovered they are far more important than I've ever given them credit for. <BR/><BR/>I think what is so great about blogs and commenters on blogs is that you can really and truly put yourself out there and you know that the people who are coming by and reading and commenting truly have an interest in you and your life or they wouldn't bother to take the time. And I find that comforting somehow and I value their effort even more. <BR/><BR/>My point of this long ramble is that I am so deeply glad for you that you have found comfort in online friendships. You have no idea how often Rachael and I speak about you when we talk on the phone- we feel like we know you so well! <BR/><BR/>P.S. - Thanks for always saying such great things about my kids. I truly appreciate it. I am the first to admit I am not objective about them and it makes me swell with pride when others find them compelling too. :-)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09264059472790843992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845564822661253716.post-18049320012001274122008-02-28T19:57:00.000-06:002008-02-28T19:57:00.000-06:00I'm so glad you found some peace, Laura!

Hold on to that feeling, knowing it is truly in there. It is hiding beneath the sorrow and will visit you again and again. And oh, how many times have I felt that I would move away from me too, if I could have:) You put words to that feeling I have had many times. Thank You! You sound really good here and I hope you draw strength from the feeling when things get cloudy again, and we know they will but not forever. And I think you are more than okay, right where you are today. Have a wonderful day.<BR/><BR/>Laurie in Ca.Laurie in Ca.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15599832324966859946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845564822661253716.post-60501397630666963832008-02-28T07:38:00.000-06:002008-02-28T07:38:00.000-06:00Wonderful post sweetie!
