Love. Love. Love.

[sexyscholar]

I have been extremely fortunate to have such friends as I do -- both in real and virtual life.

You comfort me. You put me on the right path. You indulge me and my nonsense. You understand me and don't judge.

I have re-connected with my dear friend of 21 years, feisty1, who, while she may be far in proximity, has never left my heart. I am so thankful to have you in my life, Little Sister. And stop crying. Because I know you are. :)

To mightyafrodite...my sister, my friend, my road dog. It's a good thing we're brain twins -- it'll come in handy when you're far away. :)

And my real-life friends -- you know who you are. Thank you for making me laugh, making me think and making me love on a daily basis.

To my wonderful husband, fmh, thank you for being not only my spouse, but for being my best friend, my passion, the father of my children. I don't know how you put up with me sometimes, but you do. I would be lost without you, and that's the simple truth of it.

Thank you to stuckinsea and thrihyrne for the recent gifts you've bestowed on me. You really do know where my soul lives, and I'm never ashamed to bare it to you.

I've just been thinking about all of the people around me and how they've supported me in one way or another, and I just wanted to say thank you.

And stop crying. Because I know you are.

How do you do that? (grin) This is the 3rd day in a row that you've done this to me you know. And I'm not even on an emotional PMS rollercoaster right now! It's so not fair. This is what Brian and Glenda call "happy crying" though, so it really is a good thing. :)

You comfort me. You put me on the right path. You indulge me and my nonsense. You understand me and don't judge.

You stand by me even though I may not always choose the right path. And when my strength and faith in myself are gone you hold me up. You're my cheerleader when things are good, and you allow me to share my most joyful moments with you. You are my friend and my sister.

"I don't know how you put up with me sometimes"

I think the same thing about you all the time. Any morning I wake up beside you I think, "Holy shit...she's still here!". I know I must seem terribly silly and unfocused sometimes.
Y'know you gave me back that sense of optimism I used to have. I was just kind of plodding along in the now, trying to do damage control on my kids so they didn't grow up insecure and unhappy. I'd stopped thinking about whether I was happy or what I was going to do a long time ago. Meeting you made me remember what it was like to want things for myself. That was what I needed to brave scrapping the whole of my old life while keeping the only two things that mattered, which was Hoku and Malu.
Hoku and Malu, gawd you've saved those kids.
Everything that used to just keep me up nights worrying about those girls doesn't bother me anymore. They're happy, they're getting to be well adjusted, Hoku likes herself and has friends, and Malu no longer thinks people will stop loving her if she gets older then four or that everyone in her life is going to walk out. Hell they even have clothes that fucking fit and don't look like they dressed in the dark. Home feels like home instead of just 'where we're living right now'.
Oh and our boy. Beautiful boy. Twenty months and he knows all his numbers, colors, and letters of the alphabet. Loves books and being outside, and he's got a great laugh.
Put up with you. I don't what the hell I'd do without you.

That made me smile.

Aww, thank you, Mona. You know what I know we both feel the same. So, you're welcome. But thank you as well for always squeeing with us about Rupert and Ron.

MWAH!

This whole post made me smile. I could make one of these. I probably should.

You've well summarized why so often I think of this glorious area as lovejournal.
