See? Community does make a difference.

The writer of the craigslist post just sent this note in:

A sincere soul emailed this link to me and for the first time in..in..I think the first time ever, I cried tears of joy. Posting that ad on CL was just a reach into the darkness. I didn't think I would get any responses, and the ones I thought I would get would be from rude, inconsiderate people, but I was sadly mistaken. Every response was extremely heartfelt and sincere. When I get low, I will never forget that there are people like liz out there. And I will keep the song of the day in heavy rotation:)

Words can't express how thankful I am. My tears pretty much summed up my appreciation for the responses.

We're here for you. Hang in there.

Community is still making a difference. Long story short - I started my own blog. mercurialmood.blogspot.com It's only a few hours old, and it in no way compares to yours, but getting my story out piece by piece is helping me through the hard times. The love you've shown me will be passed on to others in need.

Thank again!!
