My friends, lovers, and MN community,
Several months ago, I found myself in an unexpected and horrible predicament.
Being fiercely independent, I was bound and determined to get myself through it.
Being a rational thinker, I soon realized this was out of my control.
Being a vulnerable human, I confided in dear friends my situation.
What happened next....well it still amazes and awes me.
Those dear friends, who know me to my very core as a human, stepped up to help in any way possible.
Those dear friends rallied around me and asked for help from this very awesome MN hobby community.
This lead to all of these awesome, giving humans to show me a kindness beyond my imagination.
As I struggle to write these very words through grateful tears in my eyes, I only hope my thanks and sincere gratitude can be expressed beyond the mere text here. I am confounded at HOW to even put these feelings into text here.
So, from my very heart to all of yours:
Thank you all, so very much for getting me through my very darkest hour.
Your contributions, messages of support, and so much more shone a beautiful light on that darkest hour of mine. I am amazed, forever grateful, and humbled by your kindness. I honestly do not know how I would have made it through without all of you.
I am determined to find a way to repay all this good will.
Until I do, may all of your kindness reign over you ten fold.
Happy holidays!
xoxo
Laura

As for my contribution at least, I ask that you find a worthy cause and pay it forward. When we give it is not with the thought of being repaid but solely to help one in need so when you are able, please pass it forward.
Very glad your getting better, Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and Have a much better New Year!
So glad to hear that the worst is behind you. I hope that your path in the new year continues to get smoother along the way.
Happy Holidays!
....is exactly what I intend to do. I have a great idea on how. More on that later. 
Thanks so much to you all again. I feel so blessed to have such great friends.
I am touched by the messages and emails and posts welcoming me, and those sending heartfelt best wishes.
So much gratitude....
Xoxo
Laura
