@Zoe7  Yes it kept us alive during our hardest times.  It also taught us how to be vulnerable and honest and say how we were really feeling,  coping,  or not.  And that was hard,  impossible for me in the real world,  where it is easy to be judged.  But here,  we were/are, with others who understand our pain,  our struggles.  Here we are not judged.  Here we are loved and supported.  Even simply being sent a 💜 on a post,  was enough to know you were heard.  True friendships are created in spaces like this,  where we are free to be ourselves,  warts and all,  and still be accepted.  Through highs and lows,  someone has always been there.  For many years,  it was you,  who kept me Sane (gotta love that word),  you who held my hand and walked beside me when I needed that.  Thank you my beautiful friend.  A true beautiful butterfly.
