Thanks. that phrase is from snail mail / email penpal friend of mine who is also a survivor who has just been amazing in being there for me and helping me through things when I was in major crisis and a shoulder for when I need to just vent and babble sometimes in the middle of the night. Now 14 years of watching and helping me go from victim to survivor and continueing to grow and so on she likes to sit on the side lines watching me push on forwards through things and sometimes sends me an email of her reactions of what I am writing to her about.

one night I wrote to her filling her in on things with me and my child including the frustrations, problems and my solutions. and she wrote a two sentence reply back to me even though she was on location of working at her real world workshop she was at saying -

You are just going to keep finding hope in hell aren't you. They don't call us survivors for nothing. I have been working on and off on a drawing to go with this banner that you see here in my signature but its not done yet who knows maybe someday the drawing will be attached to it too. That afirmation she sent me still gets me through alot of situations.

Glad you like it.
