Tonight I took a journey back to the room where I have met some wonderful friends over these few years. It felt like coming home everyone was so very warm and welcoming. It was absolutely wonderful.
Sometimes along the road of Life, we can get lost, confused and just down right depressed. I have been there exactly. It has taken me a little more than a year to find my way back to life and serenity. It has been a tough road, at times it has been too hard to walk. So I have to thank God for carrying me, because if not for him I would not be here. I am grateful for all of you wonderful people. There are so many of you who have been there for me above and beyond through out. There are a few of you who I let down and for that I am sorry. I have however done the full circle so to speak and I am happy to be home. My only hope now is to give back a little of what I have recieved from this wonderful family. It is now my turn to help my fellow sister and brother. I can only pray that I can give back a small fraction of what I have gotten from this wonderful place.
What I want to say is thank you, thank you for the love, the warmth and most of all thank you for making me feel like I am home again.
Welcome home dear friend. We are glad to have you back. You are a great source of strength, wisdom and just a touch of mischief-making! We learn alot from you. Much love and blessings to you and your family. Kiss the grandbaby!
Live strong, Karilynn & Pipers Kitty

What a year you have had. No one here would expect you to be perfect under such circumstances and I don't feel you let anyone down (that's my ESH). Anyone would be totally overwhelmed with what you have had to deal with. I'm glad you managed to find it to come back but whatever you had to do to make it through such hell I admire your tenacity and commitment to your children and your recovery.
Andrea, I have read some of your old posts, and I admire your strength. You have been through alot and still come out on top. Another thing, if you want to help you fellow sisters and brothers, you can start by helping me (LOL, but serious!). Terri
