this is the better, of who we are.

so many of us have known each other so long. granted. on the net. without site, and only words. all hours of the day and late into the night, early mornings. all kinds of events in life, personal and the outside world.

we have talked about our family, our loved ones...

things in our life that make us laugh, cry and get so damn angry. we vent.

a couple things happened today. that let me see the better of who we are.

one poster was having a challenge. having been here so long, yet lots of frustration at a misunderstanding/interpretation?. and then real life stepped in and he had to get on it. he was very frustrated at the time with Du, then hearing some tough news. and that had to bleed into his personal situation that he now faced.

he throws out an OP reaching out to du, even after the heated exchanges. and look....

heated exchange stops, and all wishes him and his, well. this is the grace of who we are.

another poster, that has battled for so long for his causes, and not a lot of attention, though in all our hearts (i hope) we cheer the success. he jumps into du with HUGE and exciting news. and we embrace. we cheer with. we throw our arms over the others shoulder, and we know the struggle and fight and effort and the pain and frustration. to see the forward progression.

i love the title. a reminder. look people. this is the good. this is what we fight for. lets enjoy the success. or forward progression. stop and enjoy.

having been off, and just getting back. again. so many reach outs, gentle, not a biggy, just hi. connections.

i think this is pretty cool.

The majority of DU is 'bout it.

I can't say I'm surprised by those that posted support; nor am I surprised by those absent.
