"i get knocked down, but i get up again..."

[permetaform]

First of all, just a major major thank you to everyone's who'd responded to the posts about the mother. I've been lagging on getting responses to people, but I just wanted to post and give ya'll a great big ::HUG:: for the responses and to let you know that while I've not been very timely about responding back to those comments that they're all still very appreciated and that they've been encouraging or thought-provoking or just good to know that I'm not so alone in this, y'know?

::hugs again:: Thank you.

Late to the party, but *hugs*. And *offers shoulder*.

I just went to my cousin's wedding, which had 200+ people come, and whoa family observations out the window. But mostly?

Drama and everything aside, family's the stuff you carry with you. It's the original 'They can take away your home, your job and your money, but they can't take this away' deal. Sometimes it's a good deal, sometimes it's a bad one, but hopefully it's never a regrettable one. It's just one you gotta keep renegotiating, with them and with you.

Being out for my own vacay kinda put a dent in me being here in a timely manner for ya but I hope everyone else has been, at least. You're *anything* but alone. ♥ Looking forward to hearing more out of you soon, you've been missed. ^^
