Friends are the family we choose for ourselves…

I still feel choked up thinking about what Marla went through last night.  I could relate to her so much.  I didn’t get to hear her complete speech (which I will next week), but I can feel it…. I have the same feelings as she does.  AST has provided me with so much support, love, encouragement, and insight that I barely and rarely had before.  Dang, my heart is currently filled with emotions and feelings, but my head cannot translate them into words.  I guess as they say, words sometimes are insufficient to capture the feelings that are flooding our soul.  Whichever words that I can come up with, they still seem inadequate…. This is too great to be expressed with my limited vocabulary…
