Gushing....

You're all going to have to bear with me for a minute or two.  I need to gush.  I read all your comments.  I treasure all your comments!  Writing all that I have, there's been this little fear that it will change the way people think of me, that it won't be well-received.  And then I come here and read what people write at the end of my posts.  And I cry.  I've never felt so wholly-accepted for who I am and all I've been through.  Honestly, if you've read all of this, you know more about me than even my own family.  And your support and encouragement have done so much to help me heal as I've written everything down and laid everything bare.  You all rock!  As d-moms, as friends, as human beings.  It's amazing how friendships through the computer can become so much more meaningful, so much more incredible.  For all the bad that diabetes brings, the bonds it helps us foster is a truly wonderful and amazing thing!  Please don't ever under-estimate how meaningful your comments and friendships are to me!
