MY OTHER FAMILY****THEY MISS ME WHEN I'M GONE

  A little over a year ago I joined an online diet support group. My own personal Community.

  The first couple of weeks were spent lurking and trying to get a feel for the thread and the people on it. When I finally jumped in I was greated warmly and deluged with questions about myself and my goals.

  I solidified my ranking in the group by really getting into graphics. I became the "go to"crown Graphics Queen !

  People have come and gone in our little group.Those of us who remain  refer to ourselves as a family. We have supported each other throught divorce, illnesses, retirement,and loss of "life" family members. We have shared successes, grandchildren and vicarious world travel.

  When someone does't post for a while some or all email to find out if there is a problem. A few have been fortunate enough to meet. We are all talking about a Summer get-together!

  This support group has become so much more. They are my other family and...

  They miss me when I'm gone!

Hi Joan,  Thanks for sharing this article & posting on Fraiche Aire.  You are describing a powerful phenomenon which we are just beginning to understand.

Thank you Lola for providing the forum!

As our lives become more insular and more demanding we all still have a basic human need of Community.

Hi Joan -- You are a "queen"  and you are a great person to know and I am glad our communities have crossed paths.
