This Wonderful Place

Dearest Girls, Dave and Ronan,
I just wanted to post up about this wonderful place, Hopes Journey. I came by Fertile thoughts many years back, cant even remember how many. But what I Do remember is that when I came here, I was at my worst...with my infertility. I felt so alone, so isolated and so helpless and had nobody to talk to, who could understand the pain of what I was going through. Until that day I found Fertile thoughts and it was the very first day I went online on the internet.

I was *saved* by this place and I mean it literally! It was very small and there were only a few people here. Dave was one of them and many of the girls on Hopes Journey was here too. I thanked God, that I had found them when I did. For once, I was understood..and was able to talk to other woman who was going through what I was going through and it was an amazing and wonderful experience. That first night I was online. I didnt hardly sleep! and I had to get up for work the next morning, or rather the same morning I just came back, time after time, and became such good friends with some amazing women. And they have stuck by me, through my pain, my anger, my ranting and raving and helped me cope with the knowledge that I was never going to have a child. And then further on, have helped me cope with illness and the emotional pain of my marriage breaking down. And everything else I can think of...they have been here for me.

I love Fertile Thoughts. I recommend it to anyone who has difficulties with trying to get pregnant. I recommend it to women like me who have a stoma, and are trying to get pregnant, indeed..I have a link to Fertile thoughts from my own website. In Fertile thoughts there is a place for me still. And its called Hopes Journey and its where I come when I want to see how my girls are. When I am in such emotional pain and need to vent...I come here. When I am sad and lonely and isolated. I really do, come here. I may not always post up. But I read up. sometimes I read the old posts. Sometimes I lurk. sometimes I post up. I love this wonderful place and I want to thank all the people that have made this place possible for us. For so many years.

Long may Fertile thoughts be here, and long may Hopes Journey be here for me, and others like me. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Love and hugs
Bub
