That is so sad losing her partner and her babies dad and it's wonderful what you are doing. Many many tears have been spilled punga and I'm sure there will be for a long time to come ..  |

it didnt even cross my mind that someone so directly effected would comment.i feel like a bit of a dick now when i reread it...i think saying "im also pleased to be able to give something back" is not a good look.it may look like im please that it happened...of course i am not.

It is great of you to be proactive too I'm pleased that you feel pleased, these are the sort of feelings that should make the world go around:) i was in shock for a bit. tm "gave" me a free homepage feature and waived the success fees. they also made it a "cool auction".unlike my zillion charity listings...this one appears to be gonna kick arse,bigtime. almost 10000 views in one day.,bulk bids and bulk watchers.i believe this one will reach its full potential and my loss will really be a great gain to others...that certainly makes me feel gooder. |

Often the first words that come to mind, are the most heartfelt and true, so be happy about what you wrote, she obviously didn't think you were a "bit of a dick".  |
