Big Nestie Hug. In here. Right now.

r9stedt · December 2010

Ladies, I can't begin to thank you for your support over the past year, and primarily over this Christmas season.

I was driving today thinking about the camaraderie here, and it just blows me away. This board in particular pulls together when a member is in need. We are more than just an internet community, more like an internet family if you must. The more I thought about it, the more than make sense. This is the place we come to share our joys, triumphs, successes, our worries, fears, struggles, our losses, and our devastations. Here we have build a truly phenomenal and unique support system.

I am grateful for this. I am grateful for everyone who has been so generous this holiday season. I continue to say what a humbling experience it has been. I never thought that I would be in this position to accept the amount of giving you felt inclined to do. I could say thank you forever, and I don't think it would cover how much your generosity means to me. I just don't think it would.

I hope that each and every one of you know how grateful I am for you to think I am deserving of this help. I can't find the words to say thank you enough.

Okay, group hug.

You and L deserve it, after the year you've had. *hugs* to you both.

I've known most of you guys longer than I have many of my real life friends. :-)

I was talking about this board with my cousin at dinner tonight. She couldn't believe it.

You are so deserving and gracious. My family is very glad we were able to help you this holiday season.

Hugs.

I'm with Aggie....you deserve it.

We can *just tell* you are an awesome mom....and that's what people want to support. You could have went a zillion directions with all that you've been thru, but you chose to keep L a priority, and your love for him is palpable.

Hugs to you. I hope you have a fabulous holiday.

This is a very special place, you all!

A little trickle of tear is coming out of my eye right now. Thank you. Thank you for all your kind words and support.

My mom has known about my "internet" friends for a long time now because I know several of the nesties IRL, and one of my besties is from the nest (shout out FFG!). I called her crying (tears of happiness) today because of the multitude of support I have received from you. Emotionally and materialistically.

You ladies, all of you, are amazing.
