Hi I am Tami,

 45 years old, and know exactly what you are talking about when you lose someone you love. I never stop hurting . I don't even like to go anywhere I am drained and feel like the Holidays died as well. Tami

There should be a way to contact the moderators directly, I left them a messege, but it shows what I wrote to the offenders too.  You would thing that child abuse - sexual comments about threats to a child should out weigh freedom of speach.  And porn being shown to children is illegal, how is it they can not screen that when there are children on here.  It was after school hours, no telling who saw it.

Hello friend just wanted to say hi and I how this short note finds you and your family well Take care Veronica

Hi Jail, I was thinking about you and some of the friends I have not talked to in a while so I wanted to say hi and I hope this note finds you well. Your friend Veronica

Thank you for asking. We are doing great. Saturday we hit the 28th week and now we are relieved and joyful. I update our blog often so check it out and put it on your favorites! http://cosenotriplets.blogspot.com

I just read your profile and I am sorry you are so lonely. I am not giving you pity just empathy. I cannot say I know how you feel because I don't. I can only imagine which I am sure is only a sliver of your sorrow. I have no great advice, but I think you are wrong about people getting tired of hearing about him or your past. That was your life and a huge part of you and your family. I think you should talk a lot about him. I know that if you were my friend or family member I would not get tired of it. I think maybe people feel uncomfortable because they don't know what to say as to not hurt you or cause you pain. I know I never know what I should say. I do know that if I lost Joe I would need to talk about him because I would be lost and devastated. I would need to keep him alive somehow. I am a good listener. If you ever need a shoulder or a pair of ears feel free to talk to me.

 You are in my thoughts and prayers.

When my older son was 2 1/2, he had a 5 word vocabulary . If I said, "Say hi to Daddy", he'd give me that look like he couldn't be bothered. We enrolled him in a special ed program. We were scared to death. Within a few weeks, he was speaking in complete sentences and using words like "abrasion", not "boo-boo". (ha)

At 3, our younger son's speech was very robotic. No fluctuation in his tones. He was diagnosed with autism.

Then, the older one, (age 15 by this time), diagnosed himself with Asperger's Syndrome, a high functioning autism. Later confirmed by the head of pediatric neurology at UCI.

Now, both boys talk nonstop.
