Riding a wave

[Zoe7]

I so badly wish someone was there for you too little turtle  Someone for you to lean on (without touching), to talk to (without speaking), and to soften the ground if you fall (lots of pillows and teddies mandatory). I know it is no consolation but I am here with you in cyber world - out of the underwater cave and tent fort - and sitting on my rock stack looking over the ocean for you @Phoenix_Rising I am not leaving until you say it is ok to 'go back into hiding'

I hope you are okay @Phoenix_Rising. It really is hard to ride the wave alone in the world. Feeling for you

I'm sorry to hear that X is happening tomorrow @Phoenix_Rising. Even without needing details I can hear that it's a very hard thing to happen. I am also "there" even though I can't be "here", and might be doing some silent child's pose or  dreamer's pose in the forum yoga studio if you'd like to join in.

I want to say I am here but you know that and I know that is not the same at all as being actually there. So I too will just sit here once I have said this bit.

There have been so many days and nights when I wished there was someone there with you too. When I wished that I could be there. Tonight I am feeling it the strongest I've felt it. My sadness thinking of this tonight would be the tiny teeniest bit of yours and it is painful. I can't imagine what tonight is like @Phoenix_Rising. There are no words that are working for me tonight.

Super big thank you for being out on the ocean tonight @TheVorticon @Former-Member @Zoe7 (on your rock stack) and @CheerBear. 

This is SO HARD. I am eternally grateful for Forum Land and for the long-suffering moderators - even the baby ones who need lessons in speaking turtle. 

Today is hard, and tomorrow will be hard, and the weekend will be hard and each day for quite a while will be hard. But they will get easier if I can just keep staying alive. 

Super big thank you for caring about me. 

@Former-Member you will watch over the ocean tonight? Tonight is super super super hard Rockpool. 

[Phoenix_Rising]

Psssst, @Former-Member, do you think maybe @Former-Member can watch the ocean tonight too? @Former-Member can you please maybe watch the ocean with @Former-Member?
