Hi Mandy ... just checked the dictionary for "remission" ... was quite amused at this - "A reduction in the term is a prison sentence .. pardon or forgiveness ... easing of intensity"
So where do we all fit in? Have we committed a crime, had our sentance eased then been forgiven or as "survivors" have we "continued to live or exist after a difficult experience"
I can't reate to any of the above - they are all too cut and dried.
We have all been at the mercy of a common enemy and have each travelled on our own journey to come out on top. Some of us (myself included) may not have experienced as many difficulties as others so I guess we are the support crew for those still going over the speed bumps in their lives.
Do we need to be labled ... it's not for our benefit, we know who we are. We are lovers and fighters. We love life, each other and ourselves and we fight every day to overcome the enemy!!!
Speaking of love .... mine goes to all of you for a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year
