Thank you all for your recent support.

Once again my eyes have been opened to the fragility of life. Our friend place and her family are facing difficult times. My heart goes out to her and her family. They are in my thoughts.

It's times like these that I like to reach out to people who've made a difference in my life and tell them so.

I am reaching out here.

You are an amazing group of friends. The warm compassion without judgment never ceases to amaze me. It has humbled me in dark days.

Hugs, swirly hearts and purple umbrellas have been offered to let me know that someone cares. Someone heard me. Someone thought of me if only for a second.

Respect, love and trust are qualities we all look for in friends. I have found these here among you as well as empathy, high morals and principles.

Trust is difficult. Respect is desired. Love is foreign.

But I have, sometimes in moments of blind faith, begun to expect that here. I hope it will continue.

For all these things I thank you. Thank you for caring. For listening. For trusting me.

With utmost respect,

Petunia
