((((Hunny))))

Just wanted you to know that we are here for you and we care. I hear you and understand what you are saying. Here we have grown and shared, supported and carried one another at times when the road seemed so dark and alone. Sometimes it feels as though we are alone and that no one understands. But somewhere in the mix of all the emotions and feelings, the thoughts and tears, there is a similar bond between us.

The awful abuse that we all suffered to become what we are stands to reason why we are how we are. Many times there are no words to describe how we feel or what we are going through and we just reach sometimes not even knowing what we will say, but we write. Black on white across a screen that reaches out to those around that connect at some point----the point of hurt.

Sometimes when words do not make sense and we cannot find the words to say when someone is hurting we pass along a hug and encouragement to help get one through. Sometimes words are not enough for what we are facing and it is those times that we hold on to one another through the friendships and the I cares and we hear you. Each time someone tries to share what is so deep it takes strength and courage, and we accept each for who and what they are without judgement or expectations.

We grew up not knowing trust or not understanding no expectations or judgement, for so many of us that was all we knew. Taking risks to reach out is sometimes hard and finding that strength within sometimes takes all we have but each time we do it we take back another piece however big or small it may be, we take it back. So many times trust never existed but yet we take a risk to trust here and maybe it is ourselves we are learning to trust first.

Sometimes through tears and fear we write what is on our hearts hoping that someone somewhere can connect even with one feeling, one word, one sentence and give some kind of hope back. Each time those that are here reach back and give so much even in a time when it is so hard. You have given so much of yourself to all of us and you have shared your pain and the things that you have gone through. Your words so many times have touched my heart even in silence when I cannot find a word to say back, I feel what you have said.

PC to me is like home and a place I can come to, to reach out, to share, to encourage, and to find even an ounce of hope in this really dark path I am on. You are part of that family and hope that I feel. I hope you will hang in there and ask for what you need, like pegasus said, create what it is your are needing, and reach as much or as little as you need to. We are here for you and we care. Thank you for being a part of our life here on PC. Know that you are loved.

Sending you gentle hugs and loving thoughts. Always.
