That you are like family to me - some I keep up with more than others, some I disagree with their politics, etc, but I appreciate every one of you. Some of you I don't even know, like some of my second-cousins, but will be grateful to hear from you nonetheless.

I hope you all know that we are here for each other. When times are rough and we can't see the light at the end of the tunnel it is hard to reach out, but we are here for each other.

If you want, spam all of us, post a message here (which surely timmy would erase later if asked) just reach out and tell us you need to talk to someone. If nobody's on IM I'll give you my phone number if that's what it takes.

I know it's easier said than done, but I want to make sure it's perfectly clear that taking care of each other is a priority.

It's been almost a year since I first found iomfats.org Some people have moved on and others have taken their place. It's like the ripples in the stream........but I know what you mean, Trevor, I feel like this is home.

I've rushed home from school anxious to know what happened too many times to count; prayed for so many of you as you suffered or waited expectantly; felt such joy when things went right for you and such deep sorrow when they didn't.

I've met great friends and would love to know everyone better. I've dueled with a few of you in my youthful way and giggled loudly when you make me laugh, and I know we all care so much. We wouldn't be here if we didn't.

"Not all those who wander are lost" JRR Tolkien

We may wander in here looking for something, not quite knowing what, but it's such a great feeling to know that we aren't lost. How can you be lost when you have so many hands to hold?

Thank you timmy for making it safe

Trevor, everyone here seems like family to me too. I've been crying on and off ever since I read about Stephen. To read the email that Robert's Dad sent to Timmy was just to much. You and I have shared some emails, we haven't hooked up in chat yet, but your like a brother, and so is everyone else here. smith, hope this ends up under your reply, dude, you still amaze me with your replies, keep it up.

Where things can be discoursed upon with such willingness to see things from so many points of view.

The world is ever varient and never dull for lack of conversation here.

What makes this place special is that there are so many willing to listen.

Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...
I'll second that  [message #7088 is a reply to message #7073] Sun, 12 January 2003 17:46 Go to previous message
