I hate it when this site gets sappy. We all are anonymous and we all have our individual lives and trials and glories and sad events. In my anonymity, I want to say just two things. Flippantly, I am truly in the minority. I don't care about Adam's ear gauges. If his little holes expand, I'll love them. I'm actually fascinated by the way we are beginning to refashion our physical selves - making each and every one of us unique. So there. I'm spending alot of time in the NICU these days. My precious granddaughter - born on the anniversary of Fantasy Springs - is very sick. If you pray - please pray. If you look to the stars - seek the one needing light. She is very strong but in need of more than she can provide. I feel private and scared to ask for something from friends I've never met. But tonight may be the night. Her name is Penelope. And she has just begun to live. And I've never prayed before. And you are my friends, and I ask for your love for her. Strange that I'm posting. But I have nowhere to go. I come here after coming home. An empty house, because my darling man has taken over where I left off - we are sharing the need to care. I am missing the family I just left - and I'm wiping my nose and reading the thread. You, who don't know me, are helping me through this night. momtomany Just catching up. My prayers for Penelope and those in her circle of love. |

It's late and it's dark and it's lonely.
I am afraid and I feel very young and without experience.
You - here - with your kindness and words of encouragement - provide me a lifeline and a kind of dialogue that keeps me afloat.
Penelope will be okay - even it will be weeks. So I thank you - I adore you. I had no idea.
There will be more tomorrow.

momtomany....
In this place you have found light to fend off the darkness, friends to banish your loneliness and love to envelope your granddaughter.
Know that it is real and will remain until you no longer have need of it.

I think everyone has probably gone, but Momtomany, wanted to add my positive wishes for your granddaughter's health. It's so tough when things happen to those most vulnerable and it is so hard to feel helpless. A warm hug to you, and also to Holst for her students. Topia is such a warm and welcoming place, it's hard to see the other side of what people can do to each other.

I am still wiping my nose and my tears. Truly. Sobbing at the computer.
I don't know you, any of you. Yet, you are sending your love to my Penelope. I have no words.
She is strong and she is tired.
From all of you I am finding a way to fend off darkness; loneliness - and find love.
Thank you - thank you - thank you - - - and on and on and on .. . . . .. . .!
Tomorrow I will know more. I'm ready for the marathon; whatever it takes.
