Hi Cathe. Hope this finds you well and ready to tackle STS next week with so many others here.
I just wanted to take a moment and thank you - for creating and enabling this community. I know others post form time to time to say thanks for a host of various things. But I cannot say in words what a joy it is to know you and all of the fine members here, who so often stand together.
Of course there are topics of controversy that can get heated - politics, multiple births
, religion, thread ratings (lol), etc. But by in large when presented with a situation, this relatively small but mighty group rallies together like no one else. And that is only the stuff we see on the boards - the tip of the iceberg. I know there are SO MANY behind the scenes situations, where Catheites offer strength, support, ideas, encouragement, and unbridled assistance. I've personally been touched by a Catheite who so unselfishly provided invaluable assistance for my DD - without a word on these boards.
How many doubt for one second the times we stand together strong? Like looking for A-Jock's annual sobriety thread, or doing CCPP once a month for "whoever" needs it, or being there with Carola when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, or shedding our tears for Michele's DFIL who lost his battle after fighting so long, or watching Gayle release those balloons to her DH's memory every year with her boys, or praying for Ellie's son and Robin's grandson, or stepping over that finish line with Heather as she completed her first 5K, and now, hanging in there and standing strong with our dear friend Gin in her battle. I know there are so many others.
We are fortunate enough to work out BECAUSE WE CAN, knowing there are so many who cannot. That you have brought us together is such a blessing to so many. So thank you again, for teaching us, for pushing us, for enabling us, for leading us. We're a pretty good group if I do say so myself. Make it a good weekend!
