Hello, ladies,
It’s been a while, and I wanted to stop by for a couple of reasons.
First, I want to apologize. As humbly and as honestly as possible, I offer my sincere apology for the hurt, anger, and disappointment I caused in this community. I ask for your forgiveness.
Second, I want to explain my absence. Being part of any community is a privilege, and it’s not to be thrown away carelessly. I never intended to leave this community for good. After the incident, I decided to take a break: to assess my shortcomings, to allow tempers to cool, and to discern how best to proceed. I lurked for a week, then DH and I went on vacation. Upon our return, we learned that I was pregnant. I didn’t think it would be appropriate or appreciated if I returned to the board in that state. I was afraid it would be seen as me AW-ing. Two weeks ago, we lost the baby. I’ve taken the past two weeks to grieve and heal, and, recently, I’ve felt the need to come back here for many reasons, not the least of which were to apologize and explain my disappearance.
Lastly, I want to thank you all. During the several months that I participated in this community, you shared your knowledge, humor, wisdom, experiences, joys, and sorrows with me. I am honored that you allowed me to be a part of this group for that time, and I am grateful.
I don’t expect you to welcome me back with open arms, and I don’t expect to be granted the forgiveness I’ve requested. However, I thought it was important to let you all know that I didn’t simply walk away and forget you. You have made an impact in my life, and I appreciate it.
I’m so excited to see all the BFPs that have happened in my absence, and I’ve got my FX that many, many more BFPs will make their appearance in the coming months. I wish you all the best.
TL;DR – I’m extremely sorry. Thank you for all you’ve given me. I wish you the best.
Always,
