While I use this commercial break to compose my thoughts for my next post (and it may be a juicy one—tell your friends!), I’d like to take a moment to gush about all of you.
It seemed like my last post really hit home with many of you. So many of us really do feel the need to isolate ourselves—IRL, at least. Yet we still have this community of strangers to keep us going.
I must admit that when I was pregnant, blogging took a backseat to everything else I was thinking about. Simply put, I didn’t have all that much to say. Then, when we lost Zach, all of a sudden I had things to say. Lots of things. And because loss seems to have made me much more popular (misery loves company, eh? ), I had plenty of people to bounce my ideas, disappointments and frustations off of.
All of you keep me going each week. It really is something to know that my writing is reaching so many people around the world. I’m so darned proud of this blog and all my computer friends that it’s all I can do not to tell a few more family members and friends about it. But then, you see, the point would be lost. I wouldn’t be able to speak as freely as I do and feelings would be hurt. I’m not kidding when I say I lay it all on the line here. You guys are seeing my inner soul.
It feels good to have people besides M who know me so well.

I turned to the blogging community when I felt lost in the real world. I am glad that you are able to find comfort and support here too. Sometimes it is just so much easier and more accepting to talk to the blog world.
I think I am one who found you while you waiting for the results regarding Zach, and then I just started to stick around.
Isn't it "funny" how we gain readership? How just one nugget is what draws a hit and run reader into becoming a long term one?
Regardless of how we found where we are just know that we are all here for a reason!
I know exactly what you are saying. Blogging has helped me so much and continues to do sothrew this journey. I think my snaity would be lost without it.
I hope some of my comments have helped in supporting you. I would love to invite you to read my blog. Please email me at debbiehowarth at gmail dot com so I may send you an invite.
((HUGS))
I don't know what to say other than yea, it's great in this really awful way to have so many strangers rooting for you, getting it, and supporting you through the crap:-)
