[QUOTE="Chasejazz, post: 752979, member: 24130"] Thanks Busy. People like you and I have walked this long and winding road for awhile now [Beatles reference]. It seems like the journey will never end. Maybe we stay the course, not for ourselves, but for the friends we meet along the way. We both instinctively know that what's happened in our lives, to us and to our families, is not normal by any stretch of the imagination. The stories we share in here are so brutal and tragic we're anonymous even to each other. That in itself defines the depth of our pain. We miss our lost children and the people they will never be. Unrealized dreams. I imagine you must feel that when you look back at when you first adopted Kay. But here we are, on this day, at this place. I think we have to continue to change direction. Absolutely. We have to rebuild ourselves to be better and stronger, more confident and most of all different than who we were before we fell. All the love we had for our babies was not enough and we are not at fault. Any of us. I know it goes against everything we ever felt we would do as a parent...to change, to separate, to move on. We risk being judged. We even judge ourselves at times. But, in all honesty, I have never met a woman in this room that didn't just want to be accepted for who she was, and to be assured that she did her best as a parent. We're all Phoenix birds, arising from our own ashes... We're survivors of our own lives. We Are Legend. Thanks for being here. Do something good for yourself this weekend. ♡ [/QUOTE]
