Thank you for writing your letter to your beautiful baby girl Julie Kate... sometimes I forget that i have known the purest of loves, for I too placed my daughter for adoption.... our lives are very similar - our experiences very very simliar - and our way of dealing with things even more similar - I recently found a man that loves me - the manic me the depressed me - and a man that didn't run when I took off all the makeup and showed the scars, Chris and you and Todd and I are very lucky to have found eachother, and your letter to Julie Kate, reminded me, when I needed a reminder, that we are the fortunate ones, and that there is no more special love.<BR>
<BR>
Thank you.

Gala ~ I really like "splendid". Don't ride the brakes. Don't hit anything, and don't run out of gas. =)<BR>
Misti ~ "For Julie Kate" is cute. I thought of writing letters to a kid(s) I don't have yet once. I never finished. <BR>
Christopher ~ I wish I had good advice for you. Hold on tight -- but not too tight? Maybe you need to read Beth's "Balance".<BR>
Terry ~ snowflakes are the kisses of angels.

To all the wonderful poets in this world: I have just discovered a inspiring new site - the one everyone talks about since days. I thought I share this with you: they have some pretty interesting design and great contents on love and romance. Also, they are looking for talented poets - I have just emailed them my poems and within minutes they have replied that they would post it soon. You should really check them out at loveshag.com - it is bilingual and gives me the chance to get my work known in Europe - its really big over there! I hope to meet you there soon! Love, Allie

toklas: fishing for metaphors is very eloquent. i like the imagry of eyes being turning pages...leads to a lot of posiblities (perhaps the most prevalent being that they contantly change...) marvy marvy marvy
