@Laura What a nice early morning surprise to find your comment on my blog. (Good we can find kid-on-Christmas-morning-stand ins for the rest of our lives, huh? Blog comments? Yeah!) I can't tell you how sweet it feels in my chest--by which I pro'ly mean my heart!-- to think of these words from weeks back being, what, a blessing? a comfort? a mini-virtual-massage? for your and your friends griefs and pains of life.

Oh, and, just went over to check out your blog and I just love picturing your wild exuberant garden and your friends zen and staid garden and the two of you with your hands in it all, side by side. Beautiful. Just lovely. Just like all of us.

Thank you so much for this. I’ve sent it on to a friend I was crying with today. Aren’t we lucky to have friends to cry with – first one, then the other, one with back pain, one with neck pain, one with a dead son, one with 2 dead parents, grief and rage all in the same packages. Rich life, never enough massages! Thrilled to find you, and to add you to my blog favorites! Blessings on your head – and butt.

@slackermomspeaks hang in there! And, I'm happy to help you cry in the good way any time. I am the queen of crying and it can feel damned good, I say. Damned good!

Oh Heidi, I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my face. This post was really touching. And hit a soft spot for me, apparently. I'm going through a divorce so the gone vs. stay thing, and the other stuff, well, that's all here for me now. Crying feels good right now, I haven't really let myself cry lately. So thanks. Really, I needed it :)

@hiroboga what awesome company I am getting here on my blog! I am honored. Would you care for a cup of tea? A latte? Please stick around. Or come back soon. I'm also loving your new site. So much. xo

Oh, Heidi, what a beautiful, generous post about love in all its tender, perfectly imperfect forms.

Amazing that your friend had this photo of you and your mum, and used it to create the real gift in your gift certificates. I wish I lived near you, so I could use one of them too! :-)

Love, Hiro

Diana, yes, the realignments… the main reason I started doing what i do is that I love getting massages! haha… they are one of my absolute favorite ways of realigning and taking care of myself… I’d give up many things before massage… I hope you have someone close by that cares for you that way. Re. the ocean of sadness… yes. Helps to write about it. Maybe for you, you paint it?

Wonderful post Heidi. As far as your presence here is concerned, it isn't a dream, it's real.

And I would give anything to live close enough and be able to afford your massage! Sometimes I live in that ocean of sadness. Could use a realignment...

Write, first. Then, whatever. Shoulda thoughta that long ago! Could mean a whole lot more writing gets done.

Thanks, @TheGirlPie

Wow! What a great friend you have to spontaneously use that photo to remind you of all the ways you've been held and are still being held.

And next time, write first and you might not need as much of all the other stuff... since your writing benefits us, too (and frankly, the call, the visit, the walk, the run, the tea, the pee... fine for you; but the post is what you share with us...), and we can feel held every time we read your writing. Keep at it ~
