ALMOST 500 PoSTS

First there was me-Stella Rose

AND

Sammy J. Simpson  and Me

And then

Aunt Trudie




Then there was just me


THEN

Me and Margaret Mae

AND THEN

Angus McConnell

We never knew when we posted our #1 post  the changes our #496 post would bring.  What changes would happen in our house, what we would win, or what we could lose,

 We never knew how special a blogville friend would be to our hearts, how we would meet some of you, talk to you on the phone, and send you emails each and everyday.

We never knew.

We never knew when we started our own blog we would be gaining friendships so near and dear to our hearts that when you are hurting we hurt for you.

We never knew.

We never knew there would be hello's and laughs from all around the world, we never even thought there would be cracks left in our hearts from the cracks left in yours.

We never knew.

We have gotten private emails about hurt in your lives, just like what we were going through, stories that had not been told, till you read ours, tears that had been cried behind a closet door, until you saw ours right out in front of all our blogville friends.

We never knew.

WE never knew that our little blog would bring us daily joys, tears, understanding, and acceptance for everything we are feeling that day.  We have went to dances, parties, picnics, races, and dates.  We have went to the Moon, talked to an Alien, tried on our mom's underclothes, reviewed treats and supported other blogs with auctions and games.  WE have had to say goodbye and remember the lesson that was taught no matter how hard it was to see ...and feel.  We have told ourselves with each goodbye to make sure we say hello....cos you are all important in our small piece of the world. 

We never knew.
But now we do.
Stella Rose, Margaret Mae and Angus McConnell

  6. Dear friends, You have said it perfectly and I couldn't have put my feelings together as well. Who knew we could make friends that would be as close as family, maybe closer, and we might never see others face to face. You are a bright spot in so many of our lives; I have never been around pugs before and you've given me an insight into your sweet temperaments. No wonder that once a person has one pug, they always end up with more. The more the merrier. I am so thankful to have connected with Val here in Kauai and I may get to meet Sugar, the Golden Retriever when I get home. When I first started blogging, I had just moved to a new state and didn't think anyone would read my blog but it so helped with the loneliness I felt. Thank you for sharing life with me.
    Hugs and Kisses,
    Noreen

  8. A well written post that can only be understood by anoher blogger. We never knew either and if someone tried to tell us we aren't sure we'd believe them. Congrats!

  18. So well said! I have the hardest time explaining Blogville to outsiders, they don't understand how you can find friendship and comfort from people you've never met before. Here's to 500 more!

  19. Wow, furiends! I'll be watching for that #500 and I've enjoyed our furiendship so very much. Blogville is an amazing place and we have such joy together. I always try to tell folks that it's a little like having hundreds of wonderful pen pals...and that some of what happens in Blogville is very real and some is just made-up virtual fun. Most still don't get it, but we all understand. Thanks for the great times together and here's to having tons more!
    Grr and Woof,

  27. Aren't you glad our mama convinced your mama to blog!?! We have so much to say and this is the only way we're heard ... BOL

    We wish mama would find more time to blog but she can't do it from work and when she's home we want her to snuggle with us (or bake us some cookies). But we love reading what our blog furiends are up to! Thanks for keeping us entertained ...

    Love Zoe, Peyton, Webster, Liberty & Whitney
