I Want You to Know

[Carolyn]

all of you folks out there, some of whom have been my friends for more than 3 years, that I love you all. You have been my support and my mainstay in difficult times.

I am sitting here, having drunk 2 whole bottles of wine, and probably soon to start on my third one, that you all have been like sisters, brothers and daughters to me for the most part. I know I'm older than most of you, but I couldn't have done it without you. Insecurity strikes even us older folks.

You are born into one family, BUT you choose your real family, people who love you and care for you from choice, not by blood. I know who you are out there and I hope I am there for you the way you are for me. I long for home and my friends. See you ALL next year, I hope.

Much love from Carolyn

To all of you here ... I may never be able to meet you face to face, it's enough to know that their are others reaching out in support. So that you all know each and eveyone of you inspire me to be a better person. ;D We all come here to laugh ... learn a little ... grip a bit ... wipe away a tear or two ... or maybe polish off a bottle of wine never the less to me "Positively Sweden" is a place I call "Kindred Spirits" ;D


Natooke hoping that Carolyn drank enough water with her wine so she's not fussy in the morning

[Carolyn]

I'm okay by morning, but you would NOT want to be my stomach at about 4:00 a.m. But the old gal can still party hearty when she puts her mind to it.
