OMGoodness, so many beautiful and heartfelt sentiments posted last night and this morning.
I wouldn't know where to start, as I have somewhat of a difficult time typing my feelings, but I do know how I feel about my porchers, and that is absolute respect and love. You all have helped me learn so much about
vaping, but more importantly, what friendship is all about. I have a lot of acquaintances, but very few friends IRL. I have a fear of being criticized. My dad, although I loved him dearly, taught me well. He was a true gentleman, but he did have that one degrading characteristic. I know he loved me, and wanted the best, and I truly believe he didn't know how it would affect me. Constructive criticism is fine, but when it's downright belittling, I shut myself up like a clam. It persists to this day.
I don't use my rocker as much as I'd like, but I do read each and every post, and I'm hesitant to post at times, but not this morning.
UW, you are so proficient at expressing yourself, and I found myself teary-eyed and reminiscent of days gone by with such strong emotions. Thank you so much for being you!
Thank you all for being so transparent and baring your souls; it has taught me that trust is invaluable.
I wish each of you peace during the Holidays and for the coming New Year.
