I just want you all to know...
Given that today always makes me stop and think, truly, about coming together from diverse backgrounds and situations to be united and persevere in the face of terrible tragedy...
I love each and every one of you. Some of whom I've met in real life, some of whom I haven't. But you are each a part of my family, even if sometimes we're more like the cousins who don't speak for months on end then suddenly start chatting, or like the mom I call every day on my way to work (yes, I really do). Life is short, no matter how long you live, and I wanted to take a moment to tell you that I appreciate you for who you are and how you have uplifted me when I needed it.
... and if you need one, the box of tissues is right there on the left.

Today always makes me sad. I passed the fire station on the way home this evening and they had the flag flying from the top of the ladder truck. We are so lucky to have each other. A big hug to you Monica.

Thanks so much, Monica, lots and lots of hugs to you
Since that day, I try not to take anyone for granted.

Re: I just want you all to know...
So very thoughtful of you to say this Monica. I feel the same way about everyone here. I'm happy to have you all in my life. You are lucky to have your Mom as a phone call away. My sister in law would call her Mom everyday on the way home from work, until she passed a few years ago. Now I get a call now and then!

Monica!
You all are the best and I still hold out hopes of meeting all the rest of you in person someday.

Now, I'm gonna cry!
Even tough I'm not always here,
I try to pay attention to what's happening
in everyone's lives, either here or on Facebook
I talk about the members of the group all of the
time, to my family and friends, just the good stuff.
Hugs to you all, from a New Yorker who thanks God

broker to making coffee for a living in 1999.
