- Don't you dare!!! That was the most beautiful outpouring of true emotion
- I have heard in a very long time. It seems obvious to me that you have taken
- great strides just by the fact that you were able to tell us this and that
- you care so much about Feather. You cannot _truly_ care for others unless you
- care for yourself. You said that yourself. I wish that I could RL hug both
- of you. Ever since reading that first Feather post, I have been trying to
- think of what I could say. I wanted to help, but I have a rule about advice.
- If at all possible, I don't give it, not because I don't have something to say,
- but because advice tends to take initiative away from the advisee. (Rie kicks
- a soapbox away frantically) ANYWAY!! I have had a difficult life. Not
- nearly as bad as some, but still, nobody survives life without scars. I cry
- for you, both of you, and for me. I wrap you in a huge pair of VR arms and beg
- the gods to help us help ourselves, and each other. I love you, more than just
- the words, and I will do anything I can for you. That goes for all in the
- Place (even you, Slash) and for all in my RL, and especially for me, because
- that's what it's all about.
-
- To healing, wherever it is found.
