((((typo, WePow, TheByzantine))))

Thank you for the support and for the encouraging words and hugs. Today has been a hard day as for the first time we talked about the memory and Vannessa came forth and we made two very big steps. First, reaching out to our friend and realizing who she was. Second, for me to tell her that I loved her and that she did a good job with what she had to carry all these years.

For the first time she faced a memory as she is one who did not talk or realize it was okay. We also found out just how really hurting she was and how afraid and outcasted she felt. I felt really bad and sad at the same time that she did not know how important she was to our system.

So for the storm and winds lastnight, it made it possible for us to face another good thing to move forward together and one more step to me accepting myself as I am. The journey is still long, but one step shorter now. And together with time we will figure all this out.

Thank you again for your support. Sending gentle hugs to all of you and loving thoughts. Always.
