Thanks come up from the dark lake where I tread water, to all of you who came here and read, and especially those who wrote comments to say they were listening and cared. You are beautiful swimmers; you teach me there may be such a thing as land. You show me how not to drown.

This post, so brief, made me cry.

There is land, sweetie, and until you get there, we can all ring around together and make a floaty for you...

An eloquent and beautiful depiction of this wonderful community of women (and men)! Thank you so much for sharing your words!

Even though I was warned that this might make me cry, it still did. Powerfully and unexpectedly. Thank you for your beautiful words - I'm thinking I might print this out and put it on my fridge, because everyone needs to read this.

So many of us have almost drowned, only to be renewed with the help of others who swam before us.
