There are a handful of my “regulars”, people who often comment on my posts, who I genuinely feel connected to. I’m sharing such intimate details of my own life here, and over time, I gather bits and pieces from my followers comments. I had an older gentleman, “AZpop”, who would comment after every single one of my blog posts. I haven’t heard from him in over a year. I think of him, and worry and wonder what’s happened in his life. There are a few more folks I feel I’ve gotten to know, that I often wonder about as well. For what it’s worth, I wanted to say that you, my readers, mean a whole lot to me. I genuinely hope that everyone is doing well, and I pray for y’all when I’m made aware of your struggles. Paddlefan, Nora, Vickie, Annie, and all who come across my writing here, please know you matter to me. I appreciate all the support and encouragement I’ve received so much. I truly do look forward to hearing from everyone, and enjoy learning about you, your lives, and your opinions. I needed to say this, tonight.
Love, Me

I discovered your blog by accident the last couple months, as this is a lifestyle I’ve always been interested in but never brave enough to do more than read about it. And honestly, it’s hard to find a blog about it that doesn’t start veering off into fantasy scenarios and stories that just don’t read as real life to me. Your blog was exactly what I was looking for. Family, kids, friends, regular day to day life and how it all works with DD, but the focus isn’t just on DD. I really enjoy reading your entries. I’ve never been to your part of the country (I live in Pacific Northwest), but I feel like I have been through your blog. Thank you!

I have been reading your blog for over a year now. I look forward to each and every post. I know we all have busy lives, but when you’re “gone” for a while, I miss your posts and hope everyone is okay. It was so nice to “accidentally” find someone I feel truly understands this different and often kept quiet life style. You are a wonderful wife mom, and friend. You do help us all connect, and we are so grateful for that. Thank you for sharing your life with us. It brings joy to more people than you know. Good Bless!

I wanted to ask but could not find out how without adding it to the original blog. How is your brother getting on with his Tour of Duty.

Crazy story, with that! I should’ve written about it. At the very last moment, my brother did NOT have to go. He spent several days holed up in a hotel room, waiting for orders to go back home (to California). He’s back in CA now, doing his teaching job on the naval base. For whatever reason, he got to stay home this time ❤️

It makes you wish the universe would update a final time sometimes. Recently I looked at the “following” list. 90% of them simply vanished over the years. Some I knew why and others were merely gone. Those who actually care about one’s trials and travails are concerned when they disappear. Oh well, such is the medium.

It’s seems so strange to connect across a blog. But It is part of our new world that is much online as it is offline. Your writing touches people, it is extremely unique and compelling. You have the rare ability to create community. We live in different parts of the world and the U.S but you join us together through sharing your life with us. Thank you. Looking for a new blog post and settling into reading it clearly brings joy to many of us. You touch us and for that I am extremely grateful. You remind us that being wives, mothers, and friends are important and mean something.
Keep on being you. You make a difference.

I love reading your blogs and answer when possible, I feel like I know you as a friend. Your blogs mean a lot to me I can relate to so many of them. I have colon cancer and don’t know how much longer I will have here on earth yet but while I’m here and reading your blogs brings so much joy to me. I would love to ask you if you could please pray for my daughter because I don’t think she is going to handle it very well when I do pass away. You are blessed with a beautiful family and friends. May God always bless you and yours 🤗💞🙏
