I too am very thankful for our Pea family. I can't believe that we've been around for as long as we have!

Never did I imagine that there could be a place where all are welcome. We are learning and teaching. We are forming friendships and relationships that will take us thru all of our lives. We are a part of a community that lifts us up when we need it to and doesn't hesitate to bring us down to reality on an as needed basis.
I cry tears of happiness and tears of sadness on a regular basis. I cheer on your children and understand when the little buggers are just too much. I appreciate the life lessons and new perspectives. I hurt when you hurt and am elated when you are over the moon about something. I miss those that never made it over here and the ones that leave, no matter the reason.
Thank you thank you for enriching my life. Thank you for making me a more well rounded friend, wife, mother and daughter. Thank you for sharing your lives and checking in on each other. Thank you for being exactly who you are.

This is my safe place, where I can say anything and be myself. I've been around for a long time and drifted in and out. But the peas are always here, like a loving family welcoming you back with open arms.

I am a much smarter woman, thanks to the peas. The things I have learned here are amazing.
So many of you offered great support to me last year when my teenage daughter had a heart attack. For that, I will always be grateful.
You guys are the bees knees!!

I'm so grateful to have this forum. Just last night I was reading my hubby a lovely message one of you sent to me that made my heart so glad. I still have boxes of cards sent by peas to my sister when she was dying; so many of you were a part of that, and it was wonderful. I know I can get support and help here anytime, on any subject, for any reason. And I so appreciate the opportunity to support others, to care, to sometimes give advice, or just to say "I hear you."
My hubby knows about you guys and has even said "Ask the peas." I really do think this is a very unusual forum. I mean, we found each other initially because of scrapbooking and paper crafting but you'd never know that now. And there are so many of us who've been around for such a long time. I think it's amazing. And I so appreciate you all, I really do.

My heart is breaking a little right now, but that's because of how much this place, and most importantly the people here, mean to me. I've learnt so much here about the world, about other people's lives and perspectives, about myself. I'm sure I'm a better person for being a part of it.

I think when we are devastated by a loss of a dear Pea like Compwalla, it makes us realize how much we rely on each other for those small doses of support, laughter and joy we get here each day. You all are my secret stash of friends and it means so much to me to know that if I need to bitch or cry or share a funny story, you will always be here. Love the Pea Possy!

It's comforting to have a group of people that "gets" my tears today. I love y'all.

I agree. I work out of an office in my home, and you all are my "work friends". An added plus is that I learn a lot from my world-wide water cooler. You're funny... ETA: Oh no I just read the posts about Compwalla.

Yes, it's been 18 years for me. My ds was 8 and my dd was 6 when I found an ad for 2 peas in my scrap mag. They are now 25 and 23. Peas have been a part of my life everyday of those 18 years even if I don't say much. I met my best adult girlfriends on the Original 2 peas and for that I am eternally grateful. I don't have close girlfriends in my everyday life. All my friends are scattered across the country and we meet every other year to see each other. You peas are it for me and I appreciate you. Even when I am so aggravated that some of you like to bicker and fight about what color the sky is. I know that if I had a real issue I could come here and get opinions, advice or cyber hugs even though you don't know me from Adam. You all are a blessing in my life. Thank you.

@leowife ... thank you for this very sweet thread! I am feeling very grateful for this community of amazing women, and it is especially poignant to see this thread of yours from yesterday, before we knew of Virginia's death. I am so very sad and yet very comforted to feel that many of us are mourning our sweet, hilarious, witty and oh so special friend together.
Much love to all of you!

Ladies, Thank you. I know over the years we have disagreed and debated. Many of you know the struggles with my daughter and so much more. My heart hurts for the of one of ours. May her family find peace. May we all find peace as someone said this is one big family. Keep debating, keep speaking, keep laughing, keep crying, keep being passionate but most importantly know we all care about y'all in our own way. Big hugs and kisses to everyone;)
