I hope this doesn't embarrass her, but Serenity13 posted something just now that I wanted to share in a more prominent place. It is probably the single best description I've ever read on here as to what it is that makes this place so special.
Thanks to Michele for allowing us to hang out here.

The people here I believe are God's best...
Sent here for different reasons...
Think about it...
We are all basically going through almost the exact same thing, found ourselves losing it all, came upon either the book or the website, connected with one another to then draw strength, faith, empathy, compassion, encouragement, love and friendship and we are all strangers...
We share thoughts, fears, worries, doubts, things that some consider TMI, we laugh, we cry, we mourn, we rejoice...
We help one another out all without ever meeting...
If you don't believe in God, that right there should at least put a seed of doubt in your mind.
Yes, this crew here I would welcome to share a beer with anytime.
Cheers

I have never met any of you. (That I know of ) yet you have all carried me in your supportive hands through what I thought were the darkest days and trials of my life.
I'll raise a toast to you all tonight, and hope that I meet some of you for real some day, and try and support others as you have supported me.
Cheers!
