I've been thinking about your dad and stepmom too. Love you!<br /><br />Kerri - so glad we connected. I too love that we are both moms to boys and are intimate with Canadians if you know what I mean:)Thanks for your comments!<br /><br />Secret Agent Woman - you are so right about this being a community. It has become really important to stay in touch with all of these wonderful friends I've met blogging.<br /><br />Nicky!!! Oh my goodness. I have to find your email address. I'd forgotten that you'd given it to me and I'm absolutely thrilled to hear from you. kimmcnamara71@hotmail.com<br /><br />Joey - thanks for swinging by. Hope we can continue this.<br /><br />Kelly (September Mom), I feel the same with you. I feel like we've been friends forever and can't imagine not knowing you now. When we finally meet up in person, I know it won't be awkward at all:) Love you!<br /><br />JP - please don't encourage Shaune. I know you think I'm ignoring you but I'm not. I miss talking to you everyday. I think I saw you more than my family last year.

So I guess that's why I come here mostly - because you've become part of that community and it matters to me how you are doing. Same reason I comment - what is a community without interaction?secret agent womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03763879283931347382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287005166012220959.post-23827060761277886442011-02-01T16:18:19.225-05:002011-02-01T16:18:19.225-05:00oh - and sometimes I don't comment when...

We don't have boys in our family - so this is new to me!<br /><br />I also find it interesting since you are in Canada - my husband is Canadian. He is from Toronto and your story about some of the awful comments you experienced as a kid hurt my heart and soul as I have heard his friends make similar comments. I want them to read your story.<br /><br />Which leads me to the fact that you are so sincere and inspiring and I love the way you love your boys, husband, (now deceased) brother, and family.<br />I read and am INSPIRED! :)KMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03483933259132174614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287005166012220959.post-50547009050828650032011-02-01T15:29:06.360-05:002011-02-01T15:29:06.360-05:00I come because I think you are AMAZING.

Every time you write about your brother, I'm just touched to tears... I know it's got to be hard to write about that. I also loved that post you wrote about going on a trip somewhere when you were in college, and the kindness of one of the ladies on that weekend. I know those are both more serious examples, but I think those are some of the posts that stick in my mind as ones that just spoke me to me.<br /><br />I visit here because I think you're a fantastic writer, and also show a lot of support.

I think I can learn a lot from you. Plus, I enjoy relating to your motherhood experiences. <br /><br />I don't know that I'd change anything. My favorite postings are those related to family and children but also about you and your thoughts. Just keep being you and I'll most certainly keep reading.<br /><br />On my FB page I often get requests for topics to write about. They range from TV and children to losing baby weight.

You are so genuine and I really look forward to reading your blog. You always write meaningful comments on my blog too which I appreciate.
