i view this list, really as a second family
i feel like a part of the family has died
i realize that basically the same thing has been said about 8-10 times but when
i read some of the posts from other people they brought tears to my eyes
i really wish there was a way to change/remove people from places but there isnt
i feel as though i have lost a great friend (even though i have only been here
for 2.5 months) and a kind heart
just my two cents
cerra and her crazy gerbils
