It's our 17th Moonlight-versary!!
Can you believe it?? Honestly, if you'd asked me 17 years ago if I'd be running a fan forum for that cool new vampire show that I really liked? I'd have laughed in your face. I'd have said, "Oh, come ON! I've got a brand-new granddaughter, my work schedule is insane, I've got elderly parents and in-laws to worry about. There's no way I'd get sucked into something like that!"
Well, life throws you a curve ball sometimes.
And here I am, and here you are, and I have absolutely no regrets. 
In fact, the friends I've made on this forum have seen me through losing both of my parents and both in-laws. They've helped me celebrate the joys of grandparenthood and the worries of everyday life. You helped me deal with both times I busted my arm, you cheered me on when I went to Burning Man and took my trips abroad (I even got to meet some of my Moonlight friends in England! 
). You are the only ones who understand me when I get misty-eyed over something that reminds me of Our Little Show. 
I guess I always will do that. Seventeen years is a pretty long time to develop a habit, and loving Moonlight is a habit I don't feel like trying to break. 
Happy anniversary, everyone. I'm awfully glad I know you, and I love being in this virtual home with you.
Love,
Alle
I hope you can regain your strength now, and bless your niece and nephew. 
)....I had two extremely good doctors in Edinburgh, who worked as a team. One was an older fellow and the other was very young, like mid twenties. They were both compassionate, thoughtful good listeners who came up with good plans of action. And..... the young doctor happened to look stunningly like a younger version of Mick.
After all, just because someone looks very much like a dazzling young Alex, that does not necessarily make him a good doctor. Nor does having a gorgeous Scottish accent. But luckily for me, he really was a good doctor. Both of them were. (Oh....and when we asked about payment, considering that I'd never paid any taxes into the system, they said they didn't even have a way to collect money, so there would, of course, be no charge for the 3 weeks of care.)
I'm really glad your sweet family took such good care of you, and that your lovely pet sitter helped you so much. It says a lot about you that you are loved by such great people.
