Okay, so here's my problem. And as problems go, this is a seriously fantastic "problem" to have.

Let's just say this is yet another reason why I love DU.

There are so many posts here that I don't like the idea of just saying "Thank You" or some other brief little comments. I find myself wanting to put more into it. To honor every response with a personal message. This is all so anonymous, this board and other such online communities. We all inter-relate via computer keyboards, not face-to-face or even at some meeting or organized get-together (which I'd love to see happen, especially here in SoCal. So I find myself wanting to reach out just a wee bit more, and make it a little more personal. Cuz just a simple thank-you or one line that starts sounding kinda trite after awhile because I momentarily can't think of a different way to put it - simply doesn't do justice to how important this is to me. I can't tell you how much I've learned and about which I've been educated since I first found this place. I want to give back. I want to say thank you. I want to let you know how much I appreciate this. Whether it was discovering that there were other people who felt the same way I did about bush/cheney stealing the election from Al Gore, or how many people kept me company after my mom died, or how many people were so enthusiastic and eager to contribute to the discussion when I posted about finding my biological siblings. I just appreciate this - AND you - so much. And the fact that you're coming out like this for my kid - blows my mind.
