And then maybe they read my blog, and I read theirs, and I find places I would never have known--like here.<br /><br />Community, however you find it, is so vital. Belonging someplace means so much. I don&#39;t know Anissa but I know about her now, and I&#39;m off to read and offer whatever support I can.

I&#39;m following a facebook friend who wants to donate a kidney to her dad...<br /><br />Anyway, I have nothing but kind thoughts for Anissa.<br /><br />And Nancy was truly devastated when Dorie passed. How lovely to make that connection again.<br /><br />xxxooomomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-89569408948938603222009-11-18T10:31:57.500-08:002009-11-18T10:31:57.500-08:00Great post Carrie. You are so right on many counts. I read the news about Anissa this morning and my prayers are with her and her family.<br /><br />This blogging community isn&#39;t always the friendliest but in a time of need it almost always rallies and supports.SugarBritcheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15525854482650486213noreply@blogger.com
