Ok, before i get carried away chating today, I got to tell you all something...hehehe.

Where do i start....well, we had a member who....suddenly just disappeared. Amazing how life turns for us just that quick. Anyway...I really missed her...and thought that i wouldnt hear from her again. As it turns out...and as of last night i come to understand WHY...she didnt have any contact numbers...but one. Thank God she had that.

Our Heather girls........yup....I spoke with her last night. It turns out that she had to attend a funeral and when she returned home........well there really wasnt a home to return to. Everything changed for her family just that fast. They lost everything due to just the worst..........luck.........i have ever......heard of in my life. So........the bit she had......contained one contact.......and that was Dawn.

She sent a Christmas card to Dawn........and from there....the chain of contact continued. Dawn received a letter from Heather......and in it was her phone number......and to pass that to me. I got the email with the good news yesterday......and called her last night.

She is well, the kids are ok........but yes things in her life have changed. All good though. Thats the important thing. I wasnt sure 'what' exactly may have occurred....and who...might be reading...someone like Winn would understand that.....and know thats why i didnt want to say anything until i asked if it was ok.

She really misses having her computer hooked up.....its so costly where she is.....they dont have conection to regular say AT&T or Sprint or anything like that......its all local which means they are charging an arm and a leg for it. BUT.......she is hopeing that she can at some point connect again.

She says hello to everyone.....misses you all........and just wants you to know.......she is well.

oops didnt spell check well..........oh well.....

Now......a note her.....after the news Heather is alright.

Dawn...........

That woman........did a wonderful thing. She brought two good friends back together.

Heather and i enjoyed an open IM every day. We would go about our business.........but now and then stop for just a moment.......have a giggle and a chat.......and then get back to work. All of a sudden that stopped. I had some really bad thoughts going on......all of them wrong.......but it was just so sudden and abrupt.

After Dawn mentioned she got a card......which btw......i was momentarily......hurt......."I" didnt get one ????? what was that hummmmmmmmmm lolol........BUT.......as you read the above.....you understand why.......and now clearly after talking to Heather.....I do too.

Dawn and I spoke about Heather......and one day.......I just got the courage to ask her......if she would maybe on my behalf.....drop a quick note in the mail for me......to Heather. Turns out.......she had done.........just that. Already.

Dawn carried out a simple, random act of kindness......with gentle thought and understanding ........and brought to good friends back together. What an insight.......to the heart and soul.......of our Dawn.

Thank you so much Dawn.
Respectfully and sincerely.........
Maxie

Thank you for sharing that Maxie. It is so scary when you have online friends, and you do get close online and on the phone and then you can't reach them. I had a similar experience recently. A dear friend for about two years had personal tragedy befall her, and I had not heard from her in months, she just re appeared this past weekend, alive and well and getting it together. Thank God!! He truly does hear our prayers for our friends!!

Awwww jeez Maxie...you're making me blush lol...AND giving me entirely too much credit. I did nothing more than anyone else would have done in the same situation. Glad you enjoyed your chat! Despite the "issues" Heather sounds GREAT doesn't she?!?!?

Hey dawn!!!!!!!!! YES!!!.......i told her that too.........that there was a new spring lol, in her voice.........like a total weight lifted!!!!!!!! It WAS so good to connect!

Daer Maxie...oh this brought a tear to my eye! What a blessing!!!!I am so happy to hear that all is good....that she is well.....and that your thoughts are put to rest:)
Thank-you so much for sharing this blessing....this act of kindness.......this is why I so disagree when people say you can not make friends on the internet......yes caution needs to be used.......but many here have made great true friendships......i know I have, others have, and hear too this shows true frienship, care, and love for one another.

I knew Dawn was a pumpkin!!!! She called me on my birthday when I thought everyone else had forgotten me.... VIVE LA DAWN!!! LOLOLOL 

Name: maxieellis | Date: Feb 27th, 2008 9:05 PM
yup bebe..........aint she just.........

and that too,is a truth Winn. I got quite a list at present.......of women i have met right here......that i have come to call very dear friends. I chat on the phone with them..........and think of them often.

Yes, caution you need to have.....we have had some real troublemakers here. The things that they have tried in order to destroy good relations is appalling.........but.......its an open forum. Whats important..........and steadfast..........is we.......have weathered the storms. Come out smellin like roses.........and better.....stronger a bond than ever.

I really and truly feel sooo good and relaxed when I am on here... It is so nice to have friends who REALLY understand what it is like.... There are all of the stay at home moms at the kids preschool, but there are maybe two or three I would really call friends...
