It is sad to say goodbye

It is sad to say goodbye.

Without you interwebz, I will be alone all over again. I have to say thank you though, because you have kept me sane a good long while…and that really means a lot.

When I was at my lowest and experiencing terrible depression with my pregnancy, you were there. You helped me find friends, know that I was not alone in my plight, and eventually helped me dig myself out of it.

You helped me find my voice as a writer…a voice that I have shared with people daily; a voice that, over time, changed others lives.

You moved me to tears when I learned that friends had lost children, had relatives who were ill, and that nations had crumbled. Then you moved me to want to do more, give more- and I did.

You were there when I celebrated becoming a mother, when I struggled with the difficulties of parenting, and when I mourned my own personal infertility.

You have given me the strongest friendships I have ever known.

You have helped me to put food on the table without ever leaving my house (or leaving my sons side).

You have helped me be a better person, one click at a time.
