You mean more to US than you'll ever know, Allison!!
Honey, you just could not BE more wrong in thinking that you have no friends. I know we all "know" each other mostly from this online community, and I know that there are lots of people who will
never understood the validity, sincerity and depth of the friendships that can be formed through this kind of communication. But the fact is that the friendships you make here are VERY real friendships. You've been a wonderful addition to this community, Allison, and you have MANY real, live friends here who like you, value you, look forward to your input, and would love to have a chance to give you an in-person hug, have lunch, do a little shopping or just have a gab-fest.
If you come on the next Road Trip, be prepared to be MOBBED by the Friends of Allison, who will descend upon you with way more hugs than your wee little body will be able to withstand!!!
Until then... (((((((((((((((HUGS FOR ALLISON!!!!!!))))))))))))!!!!!!
