Elad, and the entire DU community. DU is my home, my sanctuary, my safe haven, and never more so than in these treacherous, dangerous times. This community has always been my lifeline, one to which I have clung ever more desperately these last few weeks of horror and insanity.
Before I start crying again, hugggggggs to you all. I LOVE YOU!!!

(130,100 posts)I wish I could remember all the lyrics to a song I learned at the NV conference for the 1977 National Women's Conference, but, alas, only a few lines remain. "move on, sisteers, move on, a hundred, a thousand, a million voices strong. .to form a more perfect union. . ."
