Been thinking, led me here

Forgive me if anyone finds this inappropriate. I don't think anyone will, but I thought I should say that upfront because I don't want people to misunderstand me. I don't have the words to put my thoughts into. I love to write, I do it a lot, but for a rare moment in my life words have failed me. I was trying to find the right words, and when I couldn't I looked to other's words. What I found was......good. I just thought I'd post them on the off chance they helped someone else cope as much as they have me. Once again, I'm sorry if they hurt and don't help, believe me, I'm not sending them in a mean spirit.
