A very big thank you

[sophia jane]

It seems like a good time to say thanks, so here goes.

I have had one of the most difficult (hurricane anyone?) and trying years of my life. It has also been the most rewarding. I am working toward my divorce, am living (more or less) on my own now. I'm going to school full time, I'm writing again. And I found you crazy wonderful people.
When I joined lit, I was shy, very modest, insecure, self-conscious, lonely and very certain that I would never love or be loved. And look at me now! My boobs hanging out for the world to see, I've had a fairly explicit pic thread, I write porn and answer fan mail for it, I've seen my work in print (thanks, Imp!). But more importantly, I've learned that I'm lovable and loving, I'm sexy, I'm sensual, I'm important. I never expected to find these things in myself, and I sure as hell didn't think I'd find them here.

So thank you all. Thank you for holding me up, encouraging me, challenging me, flattering me, flirting with me, befriending me. Thank you for the support during Rita, for the clothes and coats for me and kids. Thank you for making this the best Christmas ever for me, not just because I had so many presents (tho that was a fabulous first!), but because I have so many friends and so much love.
I'm very very hopeful about the new year. And so much of that comes from the friendships I have found here. Love and kisses to you all.

Too true, Cloudy. What a family reunion we would have if we could all get together.

 

[hugo_sam]

I agree with Cloudy SJ
We may bicker, fuss and fight sometimes, but we are still family.
Someone or many someones are always there with a hand to lend, or an ear, or some other virtual body part.
I'm glad you are seeing light in your day to day life. I am a relative late/new comer, but you started becoming dear even before you returned just because of what people said of you.
Best wishes and good luck in the coming year. You have all the strength you need right there with you, we just remind you of that periodically.
Have a joyous Holiday!

My dearest Sophie -

I'm glad you're coming up out of the worst of it. You're an amazing woman who constantly inspires me to do better and be better.

And while I would be just as overwhelmed as I know you have been by the outpouring of Lit Love you've received remember this - no one did anything for you that you wouldn't have done right back. We help build community when we share our bad times as much (or more) as when we share our good ones.

Love you so so so much, good friend.
-L.

You're very welcome, SJ.

I have had one of the most difficult and trying years of my life. . . . And look at me now! My boobs hanging out for the world to see . . .

Nice boobs, too.

 

[OhMissScarlett]

*hugs* Logo is exactly right, it's nothing you wouldn't have done.

 

[Belegon]

Don't worry, you can pay me back in sexual favors *grin*


seriously baby, you deserve all the good things that have been done for you way more than you did the nasty things that happened to you. You only think we've enhanced your life....actually it's just feedback from the way you have enhanced ours...

I want some sexual favors, too!

But seriously ... There are a handful of big hearted folks here on Lit who never fail to offer their ears and their shoulders when I'm having a rough day. You're one of 'em. Thank YOU!

Now, can we get PAST the ears & shoulders ... and move on to OTHER body parts?

You are just TOO much.
You are such a delight.
And I already mentioned other body parts......
Morning to you.
SJ is such a doll. It is easy to do for her.

Sophia,

Our lives are richer for your being part of them. Your caring, love and kindness are manifest. Your blossomng a pleasure to witness.

May the joy of the holiday be visited upon you and your children and the New Year bring fulfillment.



PS - More boob shots, please.

 

[Guest]

You give more than you get SJ. Love ya. Glad your life is on the upswing.

Merry Christmas

very dysfunctional family, but family just the same.

Aren't they all?

Ah, what a fun, incestrious family reunion it would be.

Thanks again everyone.
