My wedding day last weekend
was very simple by most standards.
Ultimately, it was just what I'd
hoped for.

For anyone interested, a friend
shot a video of the ceremony
with her phone and then
uploaded it to youtube.

We "honeymooned" at home.
Back to "real life" now, so I'm
glad that my buddy shot this
video. Proof that it all really
happened. For all here on
their own journey, know that
life can be wonderful, again.

That was lovely, Ilene. Thank you for sharing. The dance was very sweet, and "My Funny Valentine" is one of the all-time great songs, IMO. It does give hope to the rest of us.

Jonie . . . . it was just
a week ago tomorrow!

Everyone else. . . . . .

Being in this community
means the world to me.

Thank you for letting me know
you enjoyed my friend's video
of last week.

In 1994 I spent six months
planning how to end my life.

Good thing I didn't!

Please. . . . whatever you do. . . .

Life free-of-abuse
can be WONDERFUL.
