Thank you Susan for this post. I couldn't agree more with your comments.

I do appreciate the posts related to honest feelings about how a person's journey is going, no sugarcoating like I tend to do to everyone else. This site helps me realize what we are feeling is "normal" and we are not alone with our feelings, positive or negative, here we can share the positive times and the setbacks. I have laughed but I also have felt uncomfortable and saddened by posts where members feel they have to start defending their own shared journey here. We are each others lifeline - at least you all are mine. Thank you.

PS: Thanks to whoever added spell check!
