So , some strange changes have been made on my blog. I tried to alter the template and .... it's a work in progress, and what you see is not what I intended to do. I'm going to try very hard to not click the wrong button again and make the entire thing disappear, but stranger things have probably happened on the internet. As soon as I get my act together I will sort this out.... I hope.
This past week, since I posted my story, I have received e-mails from women who have been on the same path I am. Sadly, or perhaps blessedly, I stand on this path with a large number of women. Some of us have been on this journey longer than others, but, it has occurred to me that we all have one huge asset in common. None of us want to see another woman enter this path today, if it can be helped at all. Or, if she makes the choice to go ahead with adoption surrender, we at least want her to enter it knowing the truth of where this path may lead, or will lead at least some of the times in her future. I have not always felt pain regarding this issue. I tried very hard to get on with my life, as though nothing had happened. I failed miserably, but that makes sense. How can you get on with your life, as though nothing has changed, when your experience changes you so profoundly, that it alters the very root of who you are?
So, if you are on this path with us, and should you find that you are having problems with your section of the journey, just shout out, one of us will come and walk the path with you until the journey becomes less painful again. No journey is so unbearable that having a friend walking it with you will not help ease the pain.
This past week has proven the truth to the saying that friends are like stars, you don't always see them, but you know they are still there.
edited.. while I'm at it, please accept my sincere apology for the fact that I desperately need an editor who knows the proper use of a comma.
