do you ever wonder

[binny]

if people here know how much they mean to you?

This is such a warm, caring, loving family and I wonder sometimes if people really know how much their ((hugs)) and prayers mean to people who need them?

I know there have posts in the past about this being "just a message board" but you know what? If that were true, we, as a community, wouldnt be sharing our grief and pain together today Rembering fondly talking with a friend and how that friend touched all of our lives.

We wouldnt be supporting each other, caring about each other and sharing our tears. There wouldnt be any tears.


We are all people who care and have feelings and love and support one another. Whether or not weve actually met. Our hearts have met and in the end thats all that matters.


I want you all to know how much you mean to me and how I consider you my friends.


(((hugs)))

Very true, Binny. {{hugs}} to you and yours.

Binny,

I consider many on here as friends. Those who think it's 'just a message board' just don't understand.

While I'm a newer poster to the CB, I'm still in shock at the loss of one of our own.

You know what? When the chips are down, this place comes together like no other community I've ever seen. We can scream and holler at each other, get annoyed with each other, get so mad that we have to walk away from the computer - but when someone is in need, the fellowship that exists here is truly amazing.

{{{hugs}}} to every member of this community. I can't imagine my life without you guys.........

We were talking about what makes us cry yesterday, and I said it takes a lot to move me to tears. The events today have moved me so, and that tells me it's much more than a messge board. There are true feelings, ties, enjoyment and heartache here. Thank you so much for being my friends.

I came home today because I wasn't feeling well and my boss put me to the edge....I think I was just very emotional about this. I had gotten to know Robin some and this really hit me. I'm sitting here thinking about what putz's people can be in real life and thanking god I have this place to come to and fall back on and people I KNOW are my friends that I can laugh with, cry with and think of other with.

When my mom died 10 months ago I never realized what this place really meant to me until cards started coming and some DISers showed up at her visitation - that hit me very hard there what a place this is! I have had many hard times the past year and a half and this was the place that I knew I could come to - to cry, laugh, and remember there are others that are truly worse off than me and hurt much more than me - since August 19 this place has meant more to me than anyone will ever know - it got me through a very tough and hard to understand time in my life....I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT YOU GUYS!!!!!

I agree. You all have been through a LOT with me!

I agree. This board is FULL of such nice, caring people. I've only been here for about a month or so but the other day when I couldn't get on I visited a board I use to frequent. I couldn't believe how cold & mean the posters are to each other. I guess I never really noticed much before. I'll bet I might have posted 20 or so times on that board in the year I was there. I mostly lurked. When I found this board there was no lurking for me. I jumped right in, happily I might add. I really love this place. It's a special community. When I was able to get back on the other day all I could think is - It's good to be home
Thank you all for being so nice.

Sad that it takes something like losing a great member of our community for us to realize or understand just how much this place means to us.

*hugs* to all

I have been reading these boards just about every day for about 4 years. I'm really, really shy - which is why I only have 75 posts! When I'm feeling down I come here knowing that someone or another's post will cheer me up. Sometimes someone elses's post can put things in my life in perspective. It's nice knowing that other parents are going through some of the same things with their kids, or with their families (esp. their MIL's), etc.

If I don't read the boards for a day or so (because of trips, or other obligations) I'm anxious to get back on and see what's going on.

We are getting ready for our 3rd trip to Disney! Our first trip was in Feb. 2000 and I started coming to these boards to get tips and information on Disney. Then after my 1st trip was over, something made me log in and peruse the boards that I didn't normally go to. One of them being the "community board". I saw that there were caring, wonderful people here. I was amazed when I saw references in people's posts about pm'ing each other. I thought, "how cool is that". We came here because of our love of Disney and found friends. Even though I don't post a lot, I find myself thinking of some of you throughout the day.

Even though I don't post often, if something bad was going on in my life I have no doubt that I would post here and I would get encouragement from you all.

I was so shocked and sad to hear about Robin. I remember when she first posted about Caitlyn and her ex. It is nice to see a community care so much.

I guess I should thank you all for saving my sanity. These boards are very therapeutic.

This board and the people here have gotten ME thru some sad and stressful times.
The most memorable being the difficult birth of my 1st grandson, Ryan.
The advice, support, concern and love I received cannot
ever be forgotten.
I was even offered someone's own breastmilk to help my grandson from someone who lived near the NICU Hospital he was in!
This board is truly family,I can't believe there is any other like it anywhere.
Even as Snoopy said so well ,when we have our spats.
We come together when someone in our "family" is hurting or in need.
Thank you all for being here.
((HUGS)))
