Thank you my friend for your words and your support. You mean so much to all of us. Your words touched my heart and I know that you understand and are there with us. I do get that feeling that our good is not good enough. But truth is it really is. With everything we do that they did not think we would it is good. No matter how minute or giant, it is good. It is one more thing they cannot keep.

Anderson, you and all here are doing the best we can. Everyday we get up and put one foot in front of the other we are doing the best we can. Everyday we stand up to those that want to hurt us and we are willing to take another step we are doing the best we can. Each time we break another hold or another lie we are doing the best we can.

Each day we come here and are willing to reach out either to risk reaching and sharing or if we support with words, enocuragement, or hugs we are breaking that cycle that for so many of us they thought we never would. I remember a few years ago I was so afraid to post and to reach out. I thought I could not ever do that. But each one of you have helped make that possible.

You have given me and all within so much support and acceptance that now we can reach. And even though sometimes it is scary and hard, we take that risk because it is safest here where we are surrounded by those that understand and connect.

So thank you for walking with me and sitting with me. It means more than you could know. I am honored to be amongst the greatest people I know. Thank you for giving me the chance to get to know you and to be there for you too. Sending gentle hugs and loving thoughts. Always.
