a couple or few

there are a couple or few, or more if we include you, who are not listed on the side over there where the family names are listed as contributors here and it's not for any guilt trip that i say i wish you'd at least add your name today because even if you just visit in silence and even if you don't come by at all your presence is a precious memory i want to keep and just to see your name here... happy tears would fall...

you once let me into your heart and this place is a tribute to that trust... it will always be here as long as the servers allow and you are welcome... you are wanted... you are missed... and i will keep hoping one day when i come back to this place and i will see your name and know you know that you are my blog family and a precious memory and you are always in my heart wherever you go...

may it bring you a smile too, to know you can come here anytime and be reminded someone cares... may it bring some peace of mind to know you can write anything and i will read and respect and be here... even if it is sheer rage or biting pain or cursing at the world, even if you are upset with me... this is a place for you, a couple or few, people we trust and more... just to see your name here... i remember what i come here for... just to see your name here... an open door...

yeah, i know, i'm stubborn this way... i won't stop believing in you... i won't stop encouraging you... and i hope not to annoy you as i remind you again that this place is where you can be true - no matter what you share here - this place respects you... as i do too :)

Thank you for being here Candoor, and I also believe in and need this place .. I'm always writing in my mind things I'd like to post here, but not getting to that quiet moment where I'd like to sit down and actually write it all down here. But it's coming up soon, because a lot has piled up in my mind.

i lose myself in life, in work, in softball, and more work, and in the words i write that barely look for response anymore, the words i write just to keep what remains of me alive in my head and perhaps, somehow, if only sometimes between the lines, in the words i write...

and i paused in checking emails and in wandering the facebook or any other web world, just lost in my daily babbles and life and work and softball and more work...

and so it's many days, six or so weeks before i find this comment... time passes, but my appreciation for you being here remains as peacefully smiley as it is this moment i find your words...

thank you...

and release yourself and your words as often and as much as you like... know that sooner or later i will look up from my grindstone and push sleep aside long enough to be here again...

and somehow, we are a little less alone...

now if only we could convince the rest of our blog family to drop in for a moment (the dreamer dreams)...

thank you for being here and for continuing :)
