I wonder if some of you know the influence you've had in my life?

Literally the best posting I have read on here. It shows what SW is all about. Support. Encouragement. Trust. Help. All the positive things that make us sing. That make us live better, healthier, more optimistic lives. I see wonderful, courageous people like you, Gethsemane, here. You struggle. You vent. You cry. You scream. You have all the emotions of a severe life. You see the moments of beauty. You rush here or you walk here or you linger here. And it is all so good. I remember you long ago. When your skies were all dark and you saw no light. Then you saw a tiny glimmer. And you reached for it. And you slowly and with many mixed feelings made your way on a new journey. A journey that takes you from tears and from depression and all the negativity to a new place. A strong place. A bright place. A place where you may continue learning and LIVING and evolving. The light you shine here will be a beacon to others. You were always a butterfly. You were held in a spider's web. And then you burst out and now here you are free. I am so proud of what you have done. And I see a future so brilliant, so wonderful that I lack the words to describe it for you. But you know all this. And I leave these words here for you. For the courage and for the beauty you bring to others and to your own life. You saved your own life. You show others that a happy, healthy, positive life does exist after a destructive relationship. Bravo, Getheseman, bravo. Your posting has made my sunny day sing even more beautifully. Here's to many, many more years on your happy journey. It won't always be sunshine and butterflies and rainbow, but-and this I know surely as I breathe-you, Gethsemane, you have got this! *leaves smiling so largely* What a woman!

I think it would be appropriate to grieve AND celebrate, in whatever order you find those. I can't believe it's already been a year since your divorce. You have come SO FAR. I'm VERY proud of you.

It is certainly nice to know the other side of SW, not the boasting and one upmanship, but the humble act of support. I have just recently read of ridicule and bitterness, what a change to hear the thoughts of someone showing gratitude.
I wish you well for the future, and in the many years you have left, happiness and freedom.

OMG, Geth., That's absolutely beautiful. I'm very honored to be part of your journey. (Thank you for the PM.) I agree, it has been a difficult journey, to say the least, and I'm so glad I've been with you throughout.

Incidentally, you say you can never repay us. Please know there's never any payment required. True love is, as I know you know, unconditional.

We love you, and celebrate your new-found freedom with you.
