    hi folks, i want you all to know i am actually in tears after reading this.

    i dunno if i was one of those missed but i know i've not been on recently. i've been a bit of a bad dfw, tho not terribly, and i've sure been having a tough time this past week or two.

    but all the kind thoughts you lot, who are struggling yourselves, have for others really touches me. so thank you each and ever lovely one of you. :T
