This is hard for me to write.
I have come to love this board and its members over the past 3, 4 years. This board and you, the members have meant a lot to me. I was sad when you were sad and happy when you were happy! We all have cried together and cheered each other on.
During the past few months however, this board has slowly but steadily died down. Then the chats got cancelled in part due to the same reason. I tried hard (as did my co-and chat hostess Minnie and when she was CL our dear Ma/Lindy), but maybe it is not needed as much today as it wasd 2 years ago. So the moderators from iVillage decided to close down this board and make it a read-only board.
It is very sad and I hope you are all doing well. Drop me a line or two sometime if you like (my email address is in my profile) and don't forget each other.
Together, we have come a long way and don't forget that you are all special! You're all unique. You're all deserving of much love, joy and happiness. You are all survivors, never forget that!
This will probably be my final message here to you. Please know that I never felt that this board was a chore- I always loved coming here and "seeing" and "talking" to you here.
There will be an offical link to redirect you to other boards which are all very good and supportive - so don't hesitate to stop by there and say HELLO!
Big hugs to you all, I loved being part of this!
Goodbye!
