Thanks DU for being there when I need you

Hey there,
In the past couple of years I've reached out when
1. My Father Died
2. My Uncle Died
3. My Mother Died
4. My friends and family were getting killed in Ukraine
5. My 5 best friends died

<I joke now that I refuse to have family or best friends>

6. My brother didn't acknowledge my birthday
7. I got a questionable diagnosis on my lungs.

All through it you were there for me and I really appreciate it. You are the best. There is a life outside of the DU but frankly, I like the one here - squabbles and all.

Love you all

Paula

You've had a rough couple of years. I'm glad you had a source of support through it all, but gosh, I hope you catch a break.

DU is a community like no other, we've become family here and we care for our own. And I'm so glad you're a part of my family...

who found this place ahead of me), but DU was there for me then, and has helped maintain what little is left of my sanity through the chimpy years, and now, this unending disaster.

DU is the best.
