[hayward]

I am new to this place, finding it while in a family crisis in the middle of the night. In the last few days I have been checking back in, posting a little, reading a lot.

Right now I am just welling up at how much so many of you are going through, at how big your hearts are, how vulnerable and how real. In one place, on one page, there is more caring and sensitivity and concern than I have seen in my lifetime, and I am not exaggerating.

I ache for the stories and people that I cannot help, and for the pain and sadness that people are living through. This post doesn't need a reply, I guess I just felt the need to say that I find it remarkable that such a place exists- a place where people who deserve so much more, can at least get the validation that they are heard, and that they do matter, no matter what the issue.

Pleased to meet you, hayward.
