when I was at probably the lowest point in my life, when I found myself alone in a hotel room and just separated from my then wife and kids and about to go through my divorce (the first and real one), this person showed herself (from 200+ miles away) as a special friend and support system.  And I have never forgotten it and I never will.

Kim/Swampwoman...I love to give you a hard time on this board, but I want you to know (if you don't already) that I have never, nor will I ever, forget the friendship you showed me when I needed it the most.  You are a wonderful, special woman and you, Greg, and your beautiful children are in my thoughts tomorrow and always.  Distance and lack of contact have not in any way, shape or form diminished the love, respect, gratitude, and admiration I hold in my heart for you.

Every bit of positivity I have is directed at you and I KNOW you will come through this with the strength and grace that characterizes who you are.

I've been on lots of them and don't think there is a more friendly and good natured social sort of website on the internet. A place where people will open up like you just did. Like Ali has and is now getting things turned around. Like I have when my brother nearly died. It's a a great credit to you and Swamp Woman and a few others who are the core of VSers that have made it happen. All the best to her tomorrow and forever. 

(Sorry if it took me a loooong time to figure this out and sometimes slip up and still disrespect it. I'm kind of a dumbass sometimes. :-) )
