Nervously I went. To an unknown woman’s house, to meet unknown women. I am not a social person, I tend to be more of a one on one type person. But. I wanted to go, I felt a need to go. The unknown women were physiological sisters, echo cousins of my internet sisters. Women who were unknown only in name and face, but whose struggles are familiar to me. These women, who I did not know, and who I would not have known, but for the experiences shared in the battlefield of fertility. Women who were braver than I, who are struggling even now, while I am battle worn, but finished. A rush of warmth and comrade flows through me and I enjoy their company and sympathize with their struggles. I am humbled by their bravery.*

Wow, that is very cool! I find I relate to fellow IF sisters far better than most other people now-a-days.
Did you get to meet any bloggers you'd known online?
How great to have such IRL support. I imagine, being an IF veteran, that you are a welcome fount of wisdom.
That is cool!
I'll bet it was a good time.
