OT: Why this group is so special!

Ditto those remarks. What a fantastic group. I wish we could have been there for you and your Mom, Susan. Alas we are here now. As my signature shows, one can never have too many grandchildren, FRIENDS or Prayers.

Thanks Roxann! Fortunately I'm doing pretty well all around right now so my needs are more easily met. But it sure helps to know you have shoulders available if you need them! S

That is what we are here for Susan. We have all gotten to know each other through the board and are a big extended family

Susan, I totally agree. It feels like family here and I think it is a credt to all that we do not hesitate to ask for help,knowing it will be given and that people really do care. It renews my faith in people to see this warm caring group respond to any need expressed here. Thank you ,my big online family. Hugs,

Sabrina :-)

You couldn't be more right Susan! I love my "family". Ya'll helped me stay sane while building the house. Talked me through sikness & pregnancy. Cried with me over my FIL and rejoiced with me over Emma's birth. I can't put into words how much that means.

In fact, I was working up a sketch of a great idea I had for one of the Circle Journals (Mel is getting it!) this weekend and DH made the comment, "That looks like you'll put as much time into it as you do one of your own pages." And I thought - "Well of course it does - this is for my "girls". I want their pages to be as great as mine." I finally just explained it to him this way - "You don't skimp on a best friend - and that's what these people are to me. They everyone, individually and collectively, are my best friends."

So - can we all have a group virtual hug? ;-) I think it fits right about here!
