Dear Daisy,
I don't even know where to begin in thanking you for your presence here. You've given me (us) a universe of wisdom that I can't imagine having access to anywhere else. Sharing your own experience was an enormous part of that, and I will never forget so many things that you said here. I have also learned so much from the way you've approached your therapy and situations on this board. And from your therapist. You have given me a better, richer education than I've received anywhere else. It has all been solid gold.
I came here many years ago, in pain and confused, struggling to find someone who understood, and a way forward. I found all of that, and I found people I care about, respect and admire. I have always been so touched that you remember me throughout the years, even though I've never been a big poster. Today I am in love with my life, in no small part because of what I received here, from you. I have clients of my own, and at times I know I'm channeling your therapist with them. And even more important, I see them through your eyes (as I interpret that), often with a vastly larger understanding of their pain. I call it putting my Daisy glasses on. Aside from my own therapy experiences, they're my most important therapy tool. I wish I could share them with every therapist in the world.
Daisy, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Whatever happens in the future, I will never forget you, and will hold you in my heart.
Peg
